Why are Digestive Enzymes So Important in the Hippocrates Health Lifestyle?

by Hippocrates Health Educator

I want to tell you about an important part of the Hippocrates Health Institute: Digestive Enzymes.

You’ll get very familiar with this subject if you end up going through the program.

What I’m about to share with you is a very simple introduction – but I believe you
will find it helpful. Check out Hippocrates Health Supplements for the few basic nutritional supplements you need, the ones I take every day.

Enzymes are a critical element to our health. They are the
‘workers’ in our body that make sure all the important processes
that are necessary for our health take place.

Think of the vitamins, minerals, and proteins as the tools and the raw materials
that the enzymes ‘work’ with to do everything: build tissue, break
down tissue, regenerate cells, repair cells, etc.

There are two general categories of enzymes: digestive enzymes and metabolic enzymes.

Metabolic enzymes are responsible for all the cellular repairs and
regeneration that our bodies need to stay alive and healthy.

Digestive enzymes are responsible for processing the food we eat so
it can be assimilated and absorbed.

The pancreas is the organ responsible for producing the enzymes in
our body: metabolic and digestive.

All raw plant-based food comes with the enzymes necessary for
digestion. When food is cooked at temperatures above 108 degrees,
ALL of its enzymes ARE DESTROYED. Same thing happens when it is
processed chemically, pasteurized, etc. Which means that all the
cooked food we eat is enzyme-depleted.

One of the main reasons that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is so
dangerous to our health is that it is completely devoid of the
enzymes necessary for its digestion.

When we consume this type of diet the pancreas has to ‘borrow’ from
the metabolic pool of enzymes to produce digestive enzymes. This is
really stressful on the pancreas AND with less metabolic enzymes
available, less cellular repair and regeneration occurs.

Now do you get a sense of how the SAD contributes to pre-mature and
accelerated aging?

This is why enzymes are SO IMPORTANT. And why, if you attend the
Hippocrates Institute Program, you will take a lot of digestive
enzymes throughout.

The enzymes that you get at Hippocrates are the best.

Based on the research I have done I trust the work that Dr. Brian Clement has
done in creating the brand of enzymes that Hippocrates offers. They
are the only ones I use.

If you want to order some just go over to Hippocrates Health Supplements.

    Hi, I just purchased a Hippocrates Juice from you. Although I did days of research I still have questions. I will be replacing a fairely new stainless Breville elite,so needless to say I hoping to get the most vitamin/minerals from this new investment. My worry is that with the new features like infrared & magnatized blades will anything be less in the juice as it can now last in frig a day or so.

    Hi Sylvie,

    I’m so happy that you find the information here useful to help you live a healthier lifestyle. It’s true that it is much easier when you go and experience the program for yourself over 3 weeks, but you’re not alone doing what you can right now at home. I’ve heard from many people that are doing the same thing.

    I want to encourage and applaud you for doing the juices at home. You do this and take the enzymes, it will make a big difference.

    Hi Maria,

    This is a great question!

    The raw plant-based foods provide about half the digestive enzymes you need for the digestion. If you have been on a raw plant diet all your life, it’s easy for the body to provide the other half.

    But if like most of us you have depleted your body and the “enzyme account” you have in your body, it’s a must to take digestive enzymes before each meal.

    I take them and I eat a raw plant-based food diet as I learned at Hippocrates. I’ve been doing it for a few years.

    Hi,
    I have a question.
    If all raw plant-based food comes with the enzymes necessary for digestion, as mentioned…. Why we have to take more enzimes?? if I’m following the raw-diet.
