Health: Have You Lost Your Spark?

Have You Lost Your Spark?

Written by Melinda Kempenich

Did you know research has shown that our body’s ability to produce enzymes decreases as we age? And, while this is taking place, malabsorption of nutrients, repparttar

breakdown of tissue, and chronic health conditions as a whole increase. Some folks believe that enzyme supplementation is vital for elderly people. Well, yikes! I’m not young, young, but I do have to admit I am slowing down some. I feel sluggish a lot. So what exactly does this mean? What’s all this talk about enzymes anyway? I read that repparttar 115801

late Dr. Edward Howell, a physician and pioneer in enzyme research, called enzymes repparttar 115802

“sparks of life”. Enzymes assist us in most all bodily functions. Each enzyme has a specific function and each one has a specialized chemical shape. They can only initiate a reaction in a certain substance or group of related substances. Basically repparttar 115803

body must produce a great number of different enzymes. Some of repparttar 115804

different enzymes would be: digestive enzymes which break down food particles for storage in our muscles and liver, blood enzymes which allow iron to concentrate in our blood and also blood enzymes to help repparttar 115805

blood coagulate to stop bleeding, uricolytic enzymes catalyze repparttar 115806

conversion of uric acid, respiratory enzymes facilitate repparttar 115807

elimination of carbon dioxide from repparttar 115808

lungs, enzymes also assist repparttar 115809

kidneys, liver, lungs, colon, and skin in removing wastes and toxins from repparttar 115810

body. Enzymes also help with repparttar 115811

construction of new muscle tissue, nerve cells, bone, skin, and gland tissue. Enzymes do all this and more! Enzymes are so crucial to our health that I am awestruck. Scientists break enzymes down into two groups: digestive enzymes and metabolic enzymes. The digestive enzymes break down foods. There are three categories of digestive enzymes. The Amylase break down carbohydrates, and then different types of amylase break down specific types of sugar. Protease helps to digest protein. Lipase aids in fat digestion. The metabolic enzymes are repparttar 115812

enzymes that have to do with various chemical reactions with repparttar 115813

cells, such as energy production and detoxification. So if we want more energy it appears more enzymes are repparttar 115814

key.

"Nothing can stop repparttar 115800 man with repparttar 115801 right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help repparttar 115802 man with repparttar 115803 wrong mental attitude." Thomas Jefferson

WE ALL LIVE IN A FEELING SUBMARINE

Today you can improve your health by being repparttar 115804 captain of a submarine.

When we feel an emotion, every single cell in our body feels it, too. Our stomach cells, our skin cells, our bone cells. We do “feel it in our bones.”

Writing back in 1950, Dr. Rebecca Beard explained repparttar 115805 relationship of feelings and cells using repparttar 115806 example of a submarine. Her idea was a good one. Let’s see how this might work . . .

Imagine that you are repparttar 115807 captain of your submarine. Your cells are repparttar 115808 men who take his orders. The captain of repparttar 115809 submarine is repparttar 115810 only one who can look through repparttar 115811 periscope and see repparttar 115812 world above repparttar 115813 ocean. The men cannot see for themselves and must take repparttar 115814 captain at his word about repparttar 115815 conditions of repparttar 115816 world he sees.

And repparttar 115817 men in repparttar 115818 submarine obey orders without question.

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PERISCOPE?

One day, you, repparttar 115819 captain wake up and take a look through your periscope. You report to repparttar 115820 men bad weather and icebergs and poor visibility and enemy ships approaching. How do you think repparttar 115821 men feel? And how do you think they work?

Another day, you wake up, go to repparttar 115822 periscope and report back beautiful weather and crystal clear visibility, and no icebergs or enemy ships to be seen. The men go to their work with joy and vigor. Maybe they whistle while they work -- or even sing.
