Q9-If enzymes are destroyed by cooking, then where do we get our enzymes?

There are two ways to acquire our enzymes.  First, by eating raw foods — food enzymes.  Second, by taking enzyme supplements.  The body can make digestive enzymes from the metabolic enzyme reserves that are present in the body.  However, these reserve enzymes must be replaced or the body will run out and serious health consequences will occur.  It is very important that we preserve the body's enzyme level at all costs. Plant enzyme supplementation is a very effective way to preserve and replenish our limited enzyme reserves.
