Is it difficult to lose weight? It turns out that the body lacks enzymes

Is your journey to weight loss always full of twists and turns? Have you tried various weight loss methods but still can’t lose weight? Before you attribute your inability to lose weight to your aging causing your metabolism to slow down and deteriorate, you might want to first examine whether you are living an "enzyme-deficient" life. When the human body is deficient in enzymes, it is easy to feel tired, have poor resistance, and suffer from obesity and other problems.

Mutsumi Akiba, the author of the book "I Lost 21kg by Taking Enzymes: Eat to Have a Healthy Body That Won't Let You Gain Weight Again", said that under the influence of westernization and refinement of diet, modern people's chances of consuming fermented foods and raw vegetables have been greatly reduced. In contrast, the intake of foods containing large amounts of fat, as well as heated and processed foods, has greatly increased. In addition to changes in eating habits, there is also a tendency to waste enzymes in lifestyle habits.

Eating only heated vegetables for a long time, not eating raw vegetables, insufficient fruit intake, and a preference for fried, stir-fried and other greasy foods, will lead to an unbalanced and unhealthy diet, which will easily lead to problems such as a slowed metabolic rate and poor gastrointestinal digestion, and then to weight gain, weakened resistance, cold hands and feet, back pain, shoulder and neck pain and other discomforts.

How to develop a physique that is easy to lose weight? Fresh fruit and vegetable enzymes help regulate

However, why does enzyme deficiency lead to the above problems? Mutsumi Akiba pointed out that this is because natural fruits and vegetables are indeed rich in enzymes, but enzymes are sensitive substances that are very intolerant to high temperatures and will be destroyed once heated. Therefore, it is not easily absorbed by the human body in its original state.

If eating fresh fruits and vegetables is not enough, the body will take in a lot of heated and processed foods rich in fat. Moreover, a large amount of digestive enzymes will be consumed to help digestion and absorption, which will cause a large amount of enzymes remaining in the body to be consumed. Over time, this will lead to poor metabolism. Once food is not fully broken down, it cannot be absorbed by the intestines, causing cellular malnutrition.

Moreover, undigested food will form fermented and corrupt toxins in the intestines, which will cause cell dysfunction, affect physical health or cause obesity. On the other hand, if you can consume foods containing enzymes and develop a habit of not wasting enzymes in your body, increasing the amount of enzymes that enter metabolism will help adjust your physical condition and develop the so-called "easy-to-lose-weight physique."
