What is enzymes?
Enzymes are catalytic substances produced by living cells (mostly proteins, a few RNA), acting like "accelerators" to drive chemical reactions in the body, and their properties remain unchanged after the reaction.
They possess three main characteristics:
specificity (e.g., amylase only breaks down starch),
sensitivity (optimal temperature around 37°C;
excessive stomach acid destroys pepsin), and high efficiency (catalytic efficiency is 10⁷-1013times that of ordinary catalysts).
How enzyme impact health?
Enzymes are crucial for health. During digestion, salivary amylase in the mouth breaks down starch, pepsin breaks down proteins, and pancreatic enzymes in the intestine further break down nutrients; If our body lack of enzyme can lead to bloating, lactose intolerance, etc.
In metabolism, enzymes in the cellular respiratory chain help break down glucose to produce ATP for energy, liver enzymes participate in detoxification, and kidney urease promotes waste excretion. In immunity, lysozyme can destroy bacterial cell walls, and immune enzymes can break down pathogens; low activity makes one susceptible to colds.
What Symptoms of enzyme deficiency?
Enzyme abnormalities are health warnings. Congenital deficiencies, such as phenylketonuria, can cause intellectual disability; acquired deficiencies can also occur due to age, poor diet, or diseases (such as pancreatitis). Elevated cardiac enzymes suggest myocardial infarction, while elevated alkaline phosphatase may be associated with bone or liver/gallbladder disease.
How to Maintaining enzyme balance?
Maintaining enzyme balance is not difficult. Eat high-quality protein such as eggs and lean meat to provide raw materials for synthesis; eat moderate amounts of foods containing natural enzymes such as pineapple and papaya; supplement with enzyme-enhancing nutrients; maintain a regular sleep schedule, stabilize emotions, and engage in moderate exercise to create a suitable environment for enzymes.
