Enzyme is a group of protein inhabits in both plants and animals. Its function is to stimulate the chemical process in the body to work quicker. Enzyme can be classified into 3 groups as following:

1.Metabolic Enzyme These kind of enzymes inhabit in the organs' blood tissue, for example, in a chemical cycle called the "Kreb's cycle" which is a burning reaction. The Kreb's cycle demands a lot of enzymes to stimulate the progress of chemical cycle to produce energy for our cells. The cells in the body also have another kind of enzymes which have the duty to decompose unwanted toxin such as SOD enzyme which is a free radical.

2.Food Enzyme These enzymes are in raw foods, animal cells and plant cells. They are contained in the bags called lysosome. When these bags are broken, the enzymes will break food into small pieces so that it can be absorbed into the body easily.

3.Digestive Enzyme These enzymes are found in the food tract system of human and animals and produced by the mucous membrane of the stomach, the liver and pancreas. Their function is to break down the food into small molecules so that it can be digested easily.

Since 1986, the biochemical researchers have concluded that there are more than 1,300 kinds of enzyme related to our bodies and the lack of enzymes can cause various diseases which can be divided into 5 groups as following:

1. Food tract diseases Enzymes play important role in the process of digestion in food tract from mouth, stomach to small intestine. Thus, enzyme deficiency causes symptoms such as flatulency, indigestion, tight stomach, constipation and constipation with diarrhea. At present, we all have enzymes to help digest food and treat these symptoms such as pancreas extract which the doctors and nurses usually give to their patients to help digestion.

Here is the idea. We should eat fresh vegetables, fruits, and fresh foods as they contain enzymes. By this way, the pancreas can work less and all indigestion symptoms will not occur. In contrast, if we eat cooked food everyday, the enzymes are gone with the heat. Thus, our pancreases will have to work harder to produce the enzymes for the digestion. Therefore, people who eat cooked food take more risk of having indigestion symptoms than those who usually eat fresh vegetables and fruits.

A research from North Western University indicated that the amalayse enzyme in barley seedling can digest starch in the stomach and small intestine. This means if we take fresh vegetables and fresh fruits which already contain enzymes in themselves, part of the food in the stomach such as starch will be digested before they are sent to the small intestine and digested by the enzymes from pancreas.

2. Immunity diseases Part of the immunity consists of many kinds of white blood cells. The primary function of white blood cells is to destroy invaders, bacteria, virus, and foreign protein which causes allergy. The white blood cells will eat these things up and use their enzymes such as amalayse, lypase, proteinase, etc. to destroy them. If our bodies lack enzymes, the white blood cells will not be able to damage the foreign protein and cause the symptoms of allergy to occur. Moreover, if the white blood cells eat the bacteria and virus without having the enzymes to destroy germs, the immunity will weaken and the person can easily get sick.

The idea is to eat fresh foods so that their enzymes can digest foreign protein before it gets into the body. This could reduce the symptoms of allergy. Therefore, people with allergy or weak immunity should eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits everyday.

3. Obesity Overweight people usually lack lypase enzymes which cause fat to accumulate on the skin. If we eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, fat will not accumulate. Vegetables and fruits also help to prevent obesity as they have low calories.

4. Blood vessels diseases such as heart disease and paralysis This is the same case as obesity. If the body lacks lypase enzymes, fat will accumulate in blood vessels causing a heart disease and paralysis. It has been found that anyone lacks of lypase has high risk of blood vessels diseases and high blood pressure. On the contrary, people taking fresh vegetables and fruits have low risk of having those diseases.

Deterioration and chronic diseases as diabetes, peptic ulcer, inflamed liver, inflamed gall-bladder, decayed bone, allergy, and chronic rash.

At present, there are many kinds of enzyme supplement products suitable for those who are having health problems such as SOD (free radicals) for deterioration diseases, pancreas extract (enzymes) for digestion, extract from fresh wheat seedling for health, and other natural enzyme extracts such as papaya, pineapple, etc. made in tablet.
