Daily Essense ~ Digestive Enzyme
Overview
Daily Essense is a unique and complete blend of Digestive
Enzymes, Vitamins, Minerals, Super foods, Antioxidants all in one
product. The information for this product is divided into three
sections:
1) Digestive Enzymes
2) Vitamins/Minerals/Super foods
3) Antioxidants.
Part 1
Enzymes are the single most important element
of your health and far outweigh the importance of any other nutrient.
Nothing in the human body functions without enzymes making it happen.
Without exception, every new “breakthrough” nutritional product being
introduced on the market depends entirely upon enzymes (i.e. MSM, HGH,
5HDP, DHEA, etc.) for it’s effectiveness.
So, what are enzymes? Enzymes
are:
• Proteins that hold an electrical charge
• Catalysts that speed up chemical processes without being used up in
the process
• Specific in that they only cleave or cut certain bonds
• Efficient in that one enzyme can break-down millions of bonds
There are three factors that affect enzymes; temperature, pH and
inhibitors. Enzymes work optimally at slightly higher temperatures. This
is why the body creates a fever when it’s fighting off an infection.
When temperatures go above 118 degrees most enzymes are destroyed. This
is what happens when we cook and process our foods. Each enzyme has its
own optimum pH range in which it is active. When it goes outside of this
pH range the enzyme is inactivated. Similarly, when specific substances
(i.e. snake or insect venom, aspirin, etc.) are introduced into the body
they may inhibit certain enzymes.
Where do enzymes come from?
Enzymes come from one of three sources;
plants, animals or microbes (see Enzyme Comparison Chart).
Plant enzymes
(bromelain and papain) work in a wide pH range but only digest some
proteins.
Animal enzymes (pepsin, pancreatin) work in a very limited pH
range and only digest some of the food groups.
The microbial enzymes are
the only ones that work in a wide pH range and will digest all of the
food groups. Acid and alkaline are the two words most commonly
associated with pH. pH means hydrogen potential or the number of
hydrogen ions in a solution (see pH Range Chart).
More hydrogen = acidic Less hydrogen = alkaline
The pH in the human digestive tract varies greatly (see Human Digestive
Tract pH Range Chart). The pH of saliva is usually between 6.5 - 7.5.
After we chew and swallow food it then enters the fundic or upper
portion of the stomach which has a pH between 4.0-6.5. This is where
“predigestion” occurs while the lower portion of the stomach is
secreting hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin until it reaches a pH
between 1.5 - 4.0.
After the food mixes with these juices it
then enters the duodenum (small intestine) where the pH changes to 7.0 -
8.5. This is where 90% of the absorption of nutrients is taken in by the
body while the waste products are passed out through the colon (pH
4.0-7.0).
With this basic understanding of enzymes
and digestion let’s look at what happens in the body over the period of
one life-time.
The human body was specifically designed to
function on raw, enzyme-rich foods which support the digestive and
metabolic enzymes found naturally in the body (see Enzyme Pyramid
Chart).
When enzymes are present in the raw foods
we eat they “predigest” themselves and are readily assimilated. Think of
what happens when we eat a salad for lunch. How long does it take before
we’re hungry again?
Now, let’s look at what happens when we
lower our body’s enzyme level through eating enzyme-deficient foods.
Enzymes occurring naturally in foods are destroyed by heating, cooking,
pasteurizing or processing.
At the bottom of the Enzyme Pyramid are the
food enzymes taken in from the foods we eat. They are the most abundant
and are the foundation of our health and longevity.
When these food enzymes are not replenished on
a daily basis, our body is forced to supply all of the enzymes needed to
digest that cooked food.
This is where the The Law of Adaptive Secretion
that was established in 1943 is important.
This Law holds that an
organism values its enzymes highly and will make no more than are needed
for the job.
These enzymes come from our digestive system or the second
level of the Enzyme Pyramid. After years or decades of eating patterns
that lack enzymes our bodies will eventually use up its own digestive
enzymes or the building blocks needed to manufacture them.
What may show
up at this point are a host of side effects that include acid reflux,
belching, bloating, gas, heartburn, indigestion, nausea and upset
stomach. These symptoms are not a result of to much HCl and enzymes but
way too few.
Our bodies have now used up the two lower
levels of the Enzyme Pyramid. Do we stop eating now? No, we continue to
eat enzyme-deficient foods that will now begin to rob the enzymes that
perform all of your internal bodily functions. They are referred as
metabolic enzymes or the third level of the Enzyme Pyramid.
Once this
process starts whatever genetic weaknesses or tendencies that run in
your family tree may begin to appear (i.e. cancer, diabetes, heart
disease). Because of the limited number of metabolic enzymes and the
importance of their functions, the body will deteriorate at a very rapid
pace. Death occurs when our final enzyme has been used up.
When digestive enzymes are taken with meals there are a number of
benefits:
• Reduction of gas, bloating, indigestion and heartburn
• Better elimination
• Increased energy levels
• Balance of blood sugar levels
• Relief from hiatal hernias and ulcers
• Lactose tolerance

Daily Essense ~ Vitamin-Mineral-Super
food Overview
“Our separation from each other is an optical illusion of
consciousness.”
Einstein
Without rehashing the same old information over again, let’s do a real
brief summary. Is vitamin and mineral supplementation really necessary?
Modern farming techniques are producing larger quantities of food from
the same acreage. This has required an ever increasing amount of
chemicals and fertilizers to try and replace the missing soil minerals.
In addition, pesticides and herbicides are sprayed on these already
mineral deficient crops.
This “quantity over quality” scenario has been
going on for over fifty years! Is it any wonder what ends up on our
tables from commercial grocery stores are basically “empty” foods.
One
option is organically grown foods if they’re available. Even eating the
best organic foods available today, we are exposed to more stress
(mental, physical, environmental) than our bodies were ever designed to
handle.
Adding a quality vitamin and mineral supplement to your daily
regiment makes good sense. Not all vitamin/mineral supplements are
created equal. Most vitamins are in tablets which commonly use di-calcium-phosphate
as a binder.
This acts as a glue which prevents it from dissolving in
the intestinal tract. Even if it were to break down, phosphates inhibit
the assimilation of food nutrients (like drinking soda pop with a meal).
On the other extreme there are 100% natural vitamins that come from
certain fruits and vegetable sources. The only problem with these is
that you would have to eat such enormous amounts in order to get any
benefit. For example, acerola cherries are the best food source of
vitamin C at 1% by weight.
This means it could take 130-180 capsules to
get the minimum daily value of just that one vitamin.
What other options
are there? First, look for products that are in capsules. They are
typically higher quality. A good choice would be a concentrated
“food-source” like yeast, liver and wheat germ.
Another good choice
would be a “superfood-source” like blue green algae, spirulina,
chlorella, barley, alfalfa, etc. The amount of vitamins and minerals in
these may be lower than other options but the absorption and
bio-availability is considerably higher. This is because the processing
keeps the enzymes intact.
A few words about minerals. Other than the minerals that are found
naturally in superfoods, look for mineral sources from amino acid
chelates (AAC). These types of minerals have the highest percentage by
weight of actual active mineral and are similar to those found naturally
in plants (chelated to an amino acid) so they are easily absorbed.
“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”

Daily Essense ~ Antioxidant Overview
“Fear temporarily changes behavior. ”
What is the connection between antioxidants and free radicals?
First,
let’s define free radical. Free radicals are molecules that have lost an
electron. These molecules are very unstable and are capable of
destroying enzymes, protein molecules, a strand of DNA or entire cells.
They can be thought of as invaders that attack the body.
They will do
anything to restore their balance through stealing an electron from a
nearby molecule. This process will cause a chain reaction. Free radicals
have been linked to a number of health problems including premature
aging, stroke, heart disease, arthritis and cancer.
They originate from
either the external environment or our own internal environment.
External sources include; air pollution, smog, exhaust fumes, cigarette
smoke, industrial wastes, herbicides, pesticides, drugs, radiation,
chemicals, power lines, microwave ovens, electronic equipment.
Other
sources are hydrogenated oils (vegetable shortening and margarine) and
polyunsaturated oils. Free radicals are also produced by the body
internally as natural byproducts of oxygen metabolism as well as from
aging, disease, stress, vigorous exercise, trauma or injury.
Now, let’s
discuss antioxidants. Simply put antioxidants are elements that will
terminate free radicals and stop the chain reaction.
Antioxidants are
also referred to as scavengers. They stop free radicals by replacing the
missing electron.
There are two sources of antioxidants. First, the body
has a natural defense mechanism in which it produces specific enzymes
that act as antioxidants.
These enzymes need minerals and antioxidants
to function optimally and are found in foods and certain plants.
The
most commonly known sources of antioxidants are Vitamin A, C, E, Beta
Carotene, selenium and zinc. However, in recent years scientists have
discovered new antioxidants from oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) that
are 20 to 50 times more powerful. They come from grape seed or pine bark
and are non-toxic. Here’s a brief list of the health benefits of OPC:
• Lowers LDL cholesterol levels thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular
disease.
• Reduces platelet aggregation thus reducing arterosclerosis.
• Increases the strength and elasticity of blood vessels.
• Enhances the ability of collagen to repair itself thus improving skin
feel and elasticity.
• Relieves problems with varicose veins and PMS.
• Inhibits swelling and inflammation.
• Increases brain function (improves memory and reduces senility).
• Reduces the tendency towards diabetic retinopathy.
With the nutrient in our foods being compromised, the air quality
declining, the living of faster and more stressful lifestyles and the
exposure to more toxins and chemicals- the need for antioxidants and the
protection they offer is more critical than ever before.
