One way to determine if you are running low on enzymes is if you have consistent gastrointestinal concerns like heartburn, upset stomach, etc. Supplementing with digestive enzymes, especially when eating lots of “heavy” cooked foods like steak, can give your body a much-needed break. In addition, it can help the body spend more of its energy to absorb and utilize the food rather than simply spend a lot of its energy to break down the food.
Digestive enzymes are protein molecules which are required by the body to properly digest food so that the nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Enzymes in raw foods exist to help start the digestion process. Although she may not have known it, this is one of the reasons your Mom probably made you eat your vegetables as a kid!
When food is cooked at certain temperature (generally believed to be above 150 degrees Fahrenheit) the enzymes start to break down or even get completely destroyed. Therefore your own body (primarily the stomach and pancreas) have to work overtime to produce enzymes to digest the cooked food.
With an emphasis on protein, especially animal source protein which usually has to be cooked at temperatures above 150 degrees, our bodies have to produce significantly greater amounts of enzymes simply to help digest all of the food. This results in increased stress on the body.
