The Problems with Modern Processed Foods

One of the vital issues with processed foods is the lack of taste. With vegetables in particular, this is mainly because of the lack of minerals in the soil. The taste that one actually gets is there because of the chemicals that are added afterwards. The same chemicals are typically the preservatives.

Sodium chloride is one of the main chemicals that is typically added for taste and preservative functions, and it is the single highest reason that preservatives make your food taste salty. Salt, or sodium chloride is the main preserve, essentially drawing the moisture out of the food products so bacteria cannot grow. This also kills existing bacteria that might cause spoiling.

One of the key health issues of processed food is the lack of enzymes. The body relies upon our metabolic functions and chemical reactions to keep us healthy, and enzymes are the key. An enzyme is a catalyst that makes our body work more efficiently. It is a fact that enzymes run all of the body's essential functions. Active enzymes run our essential organs, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas, as well as the trillions of individual cells that give us life. As the bodies use them up, they need to be replaced.

The most serious problem with processed foods is that they contain no enzymes.

Your body re-supplies enzymes by manufacturing them or by receiving them from an outside source. They come from raw foods - vegetables, fruits, and even meat. They can be converted for bodily needs.

When there aren't enough enzymes available on a daily basis, your body begins to cut back from various bodily functions. For instance, hair may become dry, nails may crack and skin may become dry - giving the appearance of an older person. Then more critically, the liver will not be able to handle the excretion of waste products.

Fifty percent of all enzymes burned by the body are used in digesting our food. When insufficient enzymes are available for the digestion process the body steals them from other organs. Evidence, the high number of indigestion aids sold and the fact that you get sleepy after a meal. The body is stealing energy (enzymes) from other bodily functions. Without these enzymes, due to the lack of them in the food we eat, the average person only digests about 30 to 70% of what they eat.

Processed foods and most all packaged foods do not contain live enzymes. When any food is heated over 112 degrees Fahrenheit, the live enzyme activity is destroyed.

The bottom line is that when we put foods that are void of adequate nutrition and void of any enzymes into our body, we eventually run down. The destruction of live enzymes does not permit our food to be thoroughly digested. Then our immune system becomes weakened, and we develop degenative diseases.

Why do we make a difference?
