Why enjoy some raw, plant based food with your meal? Because you need the enzymes which allow for cellular reactions very quickly. Cooking foods at high temperatures and some medications are thought to kill many of the enzymes responsible for the metabolic process that keep us alive.

Enzymes are used in almost all chemical reactions of the body. If we didn’t have enzymes nothing in the body would be able to happen. Enzymes work for the absorption of vitamins and minerals. For hormones to do their job they need enzymes.

Basically, enzymes are the worker bees and create reactions which allow the cell to build things or take things apart as needed. A cell grows and reproduces through the reaction of enzymes.

Raw plant foods are an important piece of a healthy diet and will supplement the enzymes your body needs to thrive.

Try enjoying plant based salads with your meal to improve digestion and for the purpose of good health.
