Enzymes To The Rescue

The holidays are here!  We begin thinking about holiday meals and desserts.

With all the delicious foods to choose from, we tend to overeat. This can result in feeling uncomfortable, experiencing gas, heartburn and indigestion.

Before you grab for the anti-acids you should know enzymes can help! Enzymes are the "pac men" that help break down foods for assimilation into the bloodstream.  Just as chewing our food is essential for digestion, enzymes are necessary to deal with the hundreds of differing food compounds we eat.

Nature's Sunshine's Food Enzymes contain 8 different enzymes which help digest proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Food Enzymes contain hydrochloride acid which is used for digestion of proteins including meat and beans.

Nature's Sunshine's Proactazyme is especially designed for those suffering from hiatal hernia or acid reflux, as it contains no hydrochloride acid.

Proactazyme is an all-vegetable source and contains protease for the digestion of proteins. 

Nature's Sunshine's Stomach Comfort provides a combination of natural ingredients that help to neutralize acid, soothe the stomach, reduce acid reflux and is a chewable calcium.

Nature's Sunshine's Papaya Mints contain papaya fruit, peppermint leaf and peppermint oil that work great to relieve heartburn.  We like to use these between meals to enhance digestion and as a breath freshener.

Positive benefits of adding enzymes to your diet include; activating existing stomach enzymes for better absorption of nutrients, feeling more energy and being more satisfied from the foods you eat, thus experiencing less cravings. Many enjoy loosing unwanted inches when adding enzymes to their diet.  Enzymes are essential for life!

Life is busy!  Now is the time to feel your best and enjoy life, "one minute @ a time".
