Understanding Makes All The Difference by Melinda Kempenich

Have you ever heard it said that when it rains, it rains down on everyone and when the flowers bloom, they bloom for everyone, big or small, rich or poor. Optimal health can be and should be for everyone as well. Sometimes understanding how health works makes all the difference.

We have three biological requirements for optimal health. Those requirements are friendly bacteria, enzymes, and minerals. All plants, animals, and humans need these three requirements, as we are all a part of nature. We all have life cycles, and we all age, big or small, rich or poor.

Probiotics are what we use to describe organisms that help life by living in the intestinal tract. There are millions upon millions of bacteria residing in the gastro-intestinal tract. While some are “friendly” bacteria, others are harmful and have the potential to cause disease. Friendly bacteria play such an important role in health. Among the few benefits are helping to enhance the immune system, and helping the body absorb nutrients. They also help to break down minerals to be used effectively by the body. So who needs “friendly” bacteria? All life on earth needs Friendly Bacteria, big or small, rich or poor.

The specialized protein substances that control and promote all of life’s processes are known as enzymes. They are what make life possible. There are three kinds of enzymes. Metabolic enzymes keep the organs and tissues supplied with proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to promote healthy bodies and repair damage to our bodies. Digestive enzymes break down the proteins, carbohydrates and fats. There are three digestive enzymes: protease digest proteins; amylase which digest carbohydrates; and lipase which digest fats. Food enzymes are found only in raw foods. All life requires enzymes to sustain it. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 118 degrees so only plant and animal food in a raw state will contain enzymes. So who needs enzymes? All life on earth needs enzymes, big or small, rich or poor.
