What is the definition of proteolytic enzymes? They are proteins that are required for every chemical action that takes place inside your body. Every function of your body is dependent upon enzymes. Every bone, muscle, tissue, cell and organ in your body is run by enzymes.
We have two types of enzymes in our bodies. There are metabolic, or proteolytic enzymes and digestive enzymes. The digestive enzymes help break down the proteins in our food. Only living food contains enzymes, the most commonly eaten types are fresh fruits, vegetables and sprouted foods. Enzymes in food are destroyed when exposed to temperatures above 118 degrees farenheit. Thus, much of the food in our modern diets do not contain enzymes. When we eat foods that do not contain enzymes, our body must produce enzymes to digest the food. This takes our body's attention off of creating the proteolytic enzymes which are necessary in order for us to breath, think, feel, see, etc...and causes it to have to produce digestive enzymes in order to properly digest our food.
Proteolytic enzyme therapy is profoundly helpful to our bodies. Proteolytic enzyme supplements are anti-inflammatory which means that they assist the body in it's healing efforts. Our immune systems use proteolytic enzymes to destroy invaders so when we supplement with proteolytic enzymes, our immune system's effectiveness is greatly increased. Proteolytic enzymes can also digest bacteria, fungi, molds and viruses that reside within the bloodstream.
Enzyme therapy is simply the use of high quality digestive enzymes when we eat and the use of proteolytic enzyme supplements between meals. A high intesity proteolytic enzyme supplement will act as a detoxifier and because of this may produce symptoms of detoxification.
