This is the most accurate, comprehensive guide available for the layperson and an excellent, practical guide for professionals. As one of the world's leading authorities on food enzymes, Dr. Santillo is uniquely qualified to write and teach about this highly important topic. In working with more than 30,000 patients as a naturopathic physician, he has witnessed first-hand the benefits of food enzymes, and the many maladies that occur in their absence. Dr. Santillo has scoured the literature to bring you the important, useful information: how to preserve your body's natural enzyme stores, how to get enzymes from the right foods, and how you'll benefit from adding them to your diet. We've all heard about vitamins and minerals, even phytochemicals--but we don't hear about enzymes much in the media. Dr. Santillo highlights the critical importance of these natural keys to unlocking energy and vitality for all people in modern society. Enzymes are a part of all metabolic processes, from the working of our cells, tissues, and organs to the functioning of our digestive system, endocrine system, immune system, and every other system. Even minerals, vitamins, hormones, and neurotransmitters need enzymes to be present in order to do their own work properly. Enzymes are the true labor force of the body. If you're interested in longevity, vitality, superior health, losing weight, or overcoming sickness-or if you feel that after taking vitamins and minerals for years, you haven't really benefited as much as you'd like to--this book is for you. The human machine has an innumerable amount of enzymes, and we will be hearing more and more about them. As we grow more health-conscious, we will certainly strive for a greater enjoyment of life. More energy and a stronger mind and body are needed to face the stresses the future will bring. Enzymes can be instrumental in achieving these goals.
