April 13, 2012 ..... Issue #050 - Importance Of Enzymes In Your Dog's Diet

Enzymes Is A Matter Of Life And Death

Enzymes are the "sparks of life", your dog's Life Force. There are three primary groups of them; Digestive, Dietary/Metabolic and Antioxidant. Your dog needs to DIGEST his food for optimum vitality. As we and our dogs get older, our body produces less of its own enzymes.

Food is digested by the use of enzymes.

Mainly Digestive Enzymes ... substances that nature put into your dog's body to unlock the nutrition contained in food.

1. Proteases ... breaks down protein

2. Lipases ... breaks down fats or lipids

3. Amylases ... breaks down carbohydrates (starches and sugars)

4. Cellulases ... breaks down vegetable matter, including fiber.

There are actualy thousands of enzymes in the body, but the body does not produce all of them.

Benefits of Enzymes

1. Aids digesting food by making nutrients more bioavailable to your dog.

2. Increase nutrient availability.

3. Reduces flatulence/gas.

4. Builds protein in the bones.

5. Helps in detoxification.

6. Helps elimination.

7. Grass eating will become a thing of the past.

Also important are Dietary/Metabolic Enzymes ... speeds up various chemical reactions within the cells, such as detoxification and energy production.

They have to do with operating your dog's body specific systems.

They protect your dog's body against damage at a cellular level.

Your dog's body produces them by eating a raw and homemade diet.

When your dog eats raw food, his body won't have to borrow from the bodies reserve system, therefore putting less stress on the immune system.

Lastly, Antioxidant Enzymes ... they assist in fighting free radicals and viruses.

Cooked food contain no live enzymes. Therefore it is a problem to feed your dog cooked and processed food day after day after day ...

Enzymes do not work alone and most require vitamins and minerals to do their job.

Once you boost your dog's enzyme system, that boost his hormone system which greatly improves his immune system, and then your dog's body can heal itself.

Enzymes are important for every function in your dog's body. They are found in every living cell.

Remember your dog is not what he eats, but what he digest and absorbs.

Without enzymes, life would cease to exist.

The greater the enzyme levels, the stronger your dog's immune system will be.

Lets get started on improving your dog's enzyme system today by either making a homemade diet for your dog or if you are unable to do that, at least give him a supplement!
