Enzymes Are Just What the Weekend Needs!

One of the most important organs in the body is the liver. The liver provides the essential function of releasing energy, making new body tissues and storing nutrients for future use. These functions are what keep the body healthy.



So what normally happens at the weekend? Well, we usually let our hair down a little. We are more likely to get our dinner from the local Chinese or Italian. We indulge in an extra bottle of wine. We treat ourselves to chocolate and curl up on the couch. And let’s face it, those of us who don’t have kids take total advantage of the freedom and go out with friends to a bar and club where the standard order of the day is to get loaded up on booze. The next morning, we ease the hangover with a slap up comfort-food breakfast.



Although we thoroughly enjoy every moment of this relaxing and fun indulgence, it puts a huge strain on the digestive system and the liver. This is what happens to the digestive system: basically these fatty, sugary foods and alcohol have no benefits to the body. That means they can’t be digested so they stay sitting in the stomach for weeks on end.



Eventually the protective lining of the stomach weakens which means the intestinal wall ruptures and the rotting, undigested food enters the bloodstream. Once this toxic debris enters the bloodstream, it can settle anywhere. Because this debris is basically poison to the body, it can cause inflammation and infection in that part of the body. This inflammation can cause problems for the joints, muscles, liver, kidneys, intestines or wherever they settle.



So in a diet that is high in fat or sugar, the liver is so busy ridding the body of toxins, it doesn’t get the chance to perform its other functions which is why people with bad diets never have energy. While we always encourage our customers to live life in moderation – not deprivation – and to ‘eat well, sleep well, exercise sensibly and enjoy life’, we cannot deny that Enzyme Supplementation can help avoid and alleviate these nasty problems brought on by intermittent over indulgence.
