What About Digestive Enzymes In Your Diet?

Heating, baking, boiling, micro-waving frying, etc. destroy enzymes naturally found in our food. The digestive system of the human body is not designed to consume cooked food. Raw food has adequate amounts of enzymes for digestion so the body’s enzymes don’t have to do all the work. Have you ever eaten a meal and felt tired afterwards? Without the help of digestive enzymes, your body’s energy level decreases because that energy is being used to digest the food you consumed. Food enzymes are essential nutrients for the human body.

Because food enzymes are more fragile to the effects of heat than vitamins and minerals, cooking at high temperatures destroys them. When food is chewed and swallowed in its raw, natural state, enzymes immediately go to work in the upper cardiac portion of the stomach. Eating a low-enzyme, cooked-food diet may increase the size of the pancreas, a sign that this organ is being overworked. This condition may be a precursor to various forms of dysfunction such as hypoglycemia, diabetes and other metabolic imbalances. Anyone eating cooked food should take food enzyme supplements to compensate for the destroyed, natural occurring food enzymes that were previously in the food.

Choosing Your Supplements Wisely

Which Nutritional Supplements are Best?

Wow, That is a tough one. So many to choose from. Where to begin? It seems that every store you enter has supplements...grocery, superstores, dollar stores, pharmacies and I had to laugh but I was in a hardware store the other day and low and behold, they had an energy product displayed for sale on the front counter. And of course when you add health food stores and the nutritional catalogs that come delivered to your door, it can certainly be confusing.

How can you be certain that what you are getting is a high quality product, is not full of fillers and additives and will actually affect your body in a positive way, as it is supposed to do? Since the government does not regulate the potency of natural supplements, you have no guarantee that a product you buy has any actual bodily activity. Sad to say but some manufacturers market natural supplements that, when analyzed, have few or no active constituents. Most recently a very popular juice product came under scrutiny and when taken apart in an independent laboratory did not weigh up to it's claims.

Here are some other ways to be sure you get good, efficacious, safe products.
Buy from a Reputable Company. Know your source. How long have they been in the industry. What is their track record (good and bad). Since the industry is fairly unregulated, choose products made by large, reputable companies that have been in business a long time and have a lot to lose by putting out questionable or inferior products. Many of the excellent products increasingly found on American shelves originate in foreign countries, notably Germany and France, because they set a very high standard on their products.

Check the Label
Your best guarantee of potency is to look for the word "standardized" on the label. This tells you that the product consistently contains a certain percentage of a specific chemical, which, in most cases, has been shown to be or is suspected to be the most active nutritional agent. They usually more expensive, but generally worth it.

Consider the Price?
Unfortunately cheapest is not always best. You do get what you pay for. It's true some natural products are overpriced for various reason. But in the realm of botanical products, the higher price often reflects higher quality. To get a higher quality product, without paying the "over the top" price tag...consider Manufacturer Direct to Consumer" a very new business model that allows people purchase higher quality products, skipping the middleman. This removes an entire layer of cost. This savings is then passed along to the consumer.

Look for quality natural supplements, herbal supplements and other healthcare items from Trusted Sources. For more information on Nutritional products you can feel good about, visit: http://www.DrinkACT.com/2getenergy

Hoodia~Is it The Miracle Weight Loss Herb?

The Hoodia Miracle Weight Loss Plant
Have you ever heard of hoodia? If you think it is the name of the leader of a band named The Blowfish, you haven't listened to the news lately. Hoodia is a plant whose almost-magical weight loss properties are being reported and hyped all over the world. It is reported that the hoodia plant is a natural appetite suppressant, resulting in easy weight loss. Where does this seeming miracle hoodia plant come from?

Hoodia is one of the 13 species that belong to the Apocynaceae family of flowering plants. The actual hoodia plant is classified as a succulent, or more appropriately a stem succulent, because of their water-storing abilities similar to jade in cactus. In fact, hoodia is often described as being cactus-like in shape, although hoodia and cacti are not related.

The hoodia plant can grow up to one meter (over one yard) high. Large colorful flowers are characteristic of the hoodia plant. It is an African desert species, ranging from the Namib Desert to the south of Angola. Some people cultivate species of hoodia as garden plants. The species that is drawing the world's attention as a potential appetite suppressant is the hoodia gordonii plant.

Native people of Southern Africa have long used the hoodia plant as a home remedy against infections and digestive disorders. The substance in hoodia that causes the appetite suppression is called P57. It was first isolated and patented by the CSIR - the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. Major drug companies then received licenses to create a synthetic form of the hoodia active ingredient. Phytopharm in the UK partnered with the U.S. Pfizer company for this task.

The resulting media coverage has caused an incredible demand for the hoodia plant. The plant has been declared a protected species in Namibia and other locations where hoodia grows. Due to the scarcity of the plant, and the difficulty synthesizing the active ingredient, many weight loss products claim to contain hoodia when they actually do not. Sources report that only the species from South Africa, hoodia gordonii, can lay claim to the weight loss effects.

Unfortunately, there is little scientific evidence yet that the hoodia plant performs as claimed. Anecdotal evidence abounds with people actually eating the hoodia plant report little or no appetite for extended periods of time. The consumer is urged to carefully research all claims made by weight loss products that say they contain hoodia. It seems that the world is ready for hoodia, but hoodia is not yet ready for the world.

I remember recently viewing a television news program that featured Hoodia. The television journalist herself tried Hoodia and admitted (albeit reluctantly) that it really seemed to curb her appetite. Sky rocketing sales of Hoodia telegraph that positive results or intense hype is fueling a growing demand for Hoodia. It certainly does seem to pop up in many products specifically geared to weight loss.

My personal experience with Hoodia has been a positive one. For more information on products containing Hoodia, visit: Http://http://www.systrimsupport.com/
