Enzymes

As I said at the beginning of the year, I want to take better care of myself and of my health.
How to do this is by going to get physiotherapy treatments and cooking more and eating less of the food from the convenient stores.
The physiotherapy is great for the body and it's working wonders for me. But that's the "outside" of my body...
What can I do for the "inside" of my body...?
Cooking proper meals is one thing and eating less of the food from the convenience stores that are packed with preservatives is another... But that's not enough to improve the condition of my body on the inside.
So, I was looking around to find something to help me.
By chance, a friend of mine on Facebook had started to add enzymes to her daily diet. She talked about enzyme fasts (giving your intestines a break for a few days from digesting solids) and how it has given her a lot of energy and has helped to improve her health as well as sharpness and motivation to do things. I was very curious about this and had asked her for more information.
Instead of just giving me information, she took me to a private seminar to introduce the products to me and to have an explanation of what it is and what it does.
Basically, all humans have enzymes to help break down food in their intestinal tracts but with age, the number decreases. Also, depending on what we eat, our intestinal tracts can become layered with substances which the body cannot normally absorb (such as preservatives and other chemicals) and was not able to defecate. This prevents our body from absorbing the proper nutrients we need and also lowers our immune system and metabolism rate. That is how illnesses and obesity occurs.
So, the best type of enzymes are found in fermented foods. The Japanese diet actually has a lot of fermented foods incorporated into their daily menus compared to a Western diet. Some examples are miso soup and natto (both made from fermenting soy beans). But it's not that easy to eat everyday.
That is why my friend recommends incorporating this enzyme drink and paste into my daily diet.
The first is a concentrated enzyme drink. This is made by fermenting vegetables, fruits, and grains for a period of .... I pour about 10 to 20ml into a 500ml water bottle and drink about two bottles per day. I drink it before I eat anything.
Next,I eat a packet of enzyme paste before eating a regular meal. Eating before a meal helps the enzymes reach the intestinal tract before the food reaches so the enzymes are ready to help the intestine absorb the necessary nutrients and to defecate the unnecessary by-products.
Basically, it has a detoxing effect from within the body. It is supposed to help flush out impurities that have accumulated within the intestinal tracts and then help improve metabolism and the immune system. A healthy intestinal tract means a healthy body!! 
I've only started a few days ago and I don't see any real changes yet but I'll update you all after I've finished one bottle and all those packets. Keeping my fingers crossed that it'll work for me!!
