Liver is one of the most important organs in our body. The main enzymes produced by the liver are Transaminases and Cholestatic Liver Enzymes. Generally high level of any of these enzymes continuously for a long period of time indicates an illness. If the Transaminases is found in higher proportions then it could be viral [...]
Most men never think they'll have to look for a treatment for male yeast infections. Most men think (and most women to) that yeast infections or Candida infections are an illness that only women deal with. As you already know, this is not the case.Read More...

Enzymes play diverse roles important in keeping one’s health. There are three major food enzymes found in our gastrointestinal tract and they are: the amylase, which breaks down starches into sugars; the lipase, which breaks down fats into fatty acids, and protease, which breaks down proteins into amino acids. Protease is also used therapeutically for [...]
Enzymes That Perform 36 Million Processes A Minute
By: Harun Yahya
Every second, more processes than can be counted are carried out in the bodies of all living things. So complex and detailed are these processes that at every stage, the intervention of super-regulators is essential to control the whole system that maintain order and accelerate events. [...]
Many glossy magazines have a special knack of convincing us that we can’t live without a particular supplement. Before you know it, your kitchen cupboard resembles a mini-health store. Yeah, so there are a number of supplements that are very good for you such as Evening Primrose Oil, Cod Liver Oil and Spirulina, however if you had to choose just one what would it be?
For me I think I would have to choose Digestive Enzymes.
What are Digestive Enzymes?
Digestive enzymes digest our food so that we can use the nutrients to keep our body healthy. There are many types of enzymes, each with a specific role. For instance, amylase digests starch, whilst lipase digests fats. Without these enzymes we will suffer from indigestion, malnutrition or even a weakened immune system.
How do We Normally Get Digestive Enzymes?
If you are eating a diet largely made up of processed food then it’s unlikely intaking enough enzymes. This means your body then has to produce its own enzymes.
Every biologist is familiar with the profile of the rate of an enzymatic reaction versus temperature as shown in the figure. We know that enzymes from E.coli or warm-blooded animals tend to have an optimum around 37°C while those from thermal vent bacteria have much higher optimal temperatures. Surprisingly, I find that many biologists don’t have a grasp of why enzymes have these temperature profiles. Actually it’s reassuringly simple. (more…)
Lately, more people are looking for natural medicine to cure their illness. Most of them are lack of knowledge in such kind of therapy. Although the electronic media have reported many kind of alternatives, but people still would not believe it. They are more depending on the hospital treatments. They are happier to pay in large amount of money than struggling to find a better way to improve
Along with the advancement of technology, we can’t help but to hear with the pollution of modernization including that of air, water, soil, food and sound. All these factors have inevitably weakened our immunity and caused us to loss the enzymes in our body. There are more than 3,000 enzymes in our body to keep us in good health and our body constantly produces and replenishes these enzymes. Unfortunately, there are many other factors that can deplete our body of these precious enzymes, other than those contributed by environmental pollution:
The progressive increase of age
Imbalanced diet and unhealthy living habits
Excessive intake of processed and over-cooked food
Prolonged stress
Long term emotional instability and pressure
Flu and fever
Over consumption of coffee, liquor and other stumulative beverages
Overweight and obesity
Even vitamins, minerals, and hormones cannot do their jobs without enzymes. They are the catalysts, the dynamic power that gives us our ability to function at the highest level of good health.Our bodies cannot exist without enzymes.I will be talking about digestive plant enzymes. For proper digestion to happen, 4 major enzymes are required. AmylaseAmylase aids the digestion of carbohydrates and starches. (Fruit, vegetables, pasta, and bread)ProteaseProtease enzymes digest proteins (red meats, fowl, fish, and nuts. If improperly digested, protein putrefies in the system, causing indigestion and toxicity.LipaseLipase breaks down fats and assists in balancing fatty acids. Fats not thoroughly digested turn rancid and create pungent odors and poor cholesterol balance.Cellulase Cellulase breaks down cellulose (the fiber found in vegetables and other plant materials) however; the body does not produce cellulase. Undigested fiber leaves a wax like residue in the small intestine and adds to
