hey guys I recently had a question

relating to how much of my food needs to

be raw vs. cooked okay so I want to

answer that by talking about this thing

called enzymes right it’s enzymes are

fascinating they’re these little magical

proteins that do all the work in your

body okay so they’re they’re mysterious

because they get recycled and they can

return to their original state after

doing the work so they seem to have this

little life force in them and it’s quite

amazing because they without enzymes all

the chemical reactions in your body

would be so slow you wouldn’t be able to

survive so enzymes speed up the chemical

reactions in the body both in breaking

food down and building tissue from the

macronutrients so you have amino acids

of fatty acids and then the building up

of tissue like hair nail skin ligaments

muscles that type of thing so enzymes

involved in building tissues digestion

nutrient extraction they pull nutrients

out all the different chemical reactions

making the vitamins available so when

you go to the store and you look on the

Shelf you’ll see all these foods that

have a high shelf life you have all the

canned foods you have the pasteurized

foods you have all the roasted nuts and

things like that and that’s because heat

kills enzymes and when you kill enzymes

you can preserve the food of course dead

food can sit on the Shelf longer because

it doesn’t have the enzymes to break it

down so the real question is can you

build a healthy body by consuming dead

foods so let’s answer that by looking at

the normal digestion what happens when

you consume cook foods goes into your

body it hits an acid in your stomach the

acid triggers a very powerful enzyme

that breaks down proteins then it goes

in your small intestine where that’s

broken down further by the pumping out

of all the enzymes from the pancreas so

in other words when you consume food

without enzymes like an overly cooked

food your pancreas has to make the

enzymes to break down that food okay so

you’re depleting more of the body’s

enzyme Reserve and that is the stress

that consuming cooked foods crates in

your body so you stress out the pancreas

the stomach and other or

so the microbes also make enzymes to

help you digest food but of course if

you had antibiotics that could limit

that part of the digestive tract so I

consume most of my vegetables in a raw

state sometimes I might steam them

sometimes we’ll have fermented

vegetables of course I’ll cook the

proteins but just realize that every

time you consume pasteurized food

sterilized heated food you’re killing

off the enzymes and you’re depleting

that part of your body and you’re adding

stress to certain organs all right
