• About Us : 'live' enzyme foods are nature's secret for health & beautyHealth and beauty are dependent on the proper functioning of every cell in the body. Cellular damage and, ultimately cellular death can be attributed to enzyme breakdown and collapse caused by aging, stress, illness, and environmental pollution. Research proven "live enzyme foods" act as "cellular signaling molecules" (see 1), resulting in an increase in the production or the optimization of intercellular antioxidant enzyme levels.IntroductionKeeping current about health, fitness, and life extension in the 21st century means adding some new terms to yBiotec-Foods.com vocabulary. This decade brings with it an explosion of research and writing about free radicals and free radical biology, antioxidant enzymes and live enzyme foods. What follows is a premier on this burgeoning area of science to help make sense of what you read in the months and years ahead.What are free radicals?Like all matter, our bodies are composed entirely of tiny particles called molecules. Each molecule is made up of atoms, and each atom is made up of a center or nucleus and electrons which spin in orbits around it. Ordinarily, the electrons occur in balanced pairs. This keeps the atom and the molecule stable. Sometimes a molecule loses one of it's electrons or gains an extra one. This causes the the molecule to become unbalanced and highly reactive. Such a molecule is called a free radical.Where do free radicals come from?Some free radicals occur as normal by-products of the healthy body's metabolic processes. Overproduction of free radicals occurs when the body is subjected to stress in any of it's forms: Chemical, emotional, physical, and infectious. Some common sources of stress to the body are aging, environmental pollutants, trauma, and disease, as well as the pace and the pressure of life in the modern world.How do free radicals hurt the body?Having unpaired electrons is not an energetically favorable or stable state for a molecule. A free radical will try to return to a state of stability by taking an electron from some other molecule and restoring it's own balance. It is this little act of electron thievery that causes the damage. The stolen electron may be from a molecule in a normal healthy cell. The end result is that the healthy cell is damaged and the body's proper functioning is impaired.How does the body defend itself against free radicals?Nature equips the body to produce special enzymes called antioxidants which catalyze the removal of the free radicals before they cause cellular damage. Under normal conditions, these naturally occurring antioxidant enzymes can handle the free radicals produced by the body's own metabolic processes. Unfortunately, the many stresses of life in the modern world and the nutritional inadequacies of a contemporary diet result in an excess of free radical in the body and a deficiency in the available supply of antioxidants to remove them. The negative state of affairs is called free radical pathology.What can be done to maximize the body's natural defenses?The first line of defense is to eat certain whole, natural, live foods that are rich in enzymes themselves, and which appear to stimulate the body's own production of antioxidants. The live enzyme foods include raw vegetables, wheat and barley grass, sprouts, and blue-green algae. Unfortunately. Modern agricultural practices have greatly depleted the nutritional value of the foods we eat, even raw fresh foods. Vegetables are bred for longer shelf life, convenience in shipping, and high yield, but not necessarily for high nutrition. Important trace elements and other co-factors which make the enzymes usable to the body often are missing. The nutritional content is even further reduced by the heat of cooking which destroys the live enzymes.
