I want to know what an enzyme is.
Enzymes are the general names of thousands of enzymes in the body that undertake the most basic life activities of human beings. In organisms, enzymes help organisms break down various substances and carry out metabolism. No matter animals or plants, as long as there is life, there must be enzymes. Enzymes are closely related to the synthesis, decomposition, transportation, excretion, energy supply and maintenance of the most basic life activities in organisms.

If there are no enzymes, living things can't survive. The amount of enzymes in the body is closely related to the youth, health, disease and aging of living things.

fresh food itself contains a lot of enzymes, but in modern society, cooked food is the main food after high temperature treatment, so the enzymes in food itself are basically killed by high temperature, which makes us seriously lack of enzymes to supplement. At the same time, with the growth of age, the metabolic level of human body is also declining year by year, and the level of enzymes secreted by human body is also declining, which is not enough to support the modern high-intensity life and work rhythm.

in addition, all the artificial additives, drugs and metabolic wastes we ingest need to be degraded by enzymes secreted by organs such as the human liver, so the modern diet mode of a large amount of meat (which easily produces a large amount of metabolic wastes) and refined foods (most snacks) consumes all kinds of enzymes secreted by the human body in advance. Therefore, our human body cannot lack enzymes.
