Digestive Enzymes are Absolutely Necessary for Good Health. Part 1
Tip 11: Digestive enzymes…gold, pure gold to the body!
Welcome,
Today, I am going to start sharing a story which will ultimately culminate with sharing about enzymes and their importance in our human and our animal’s bodies. It was from writing Regal’s story and her kidney failure that I started to contemplate the relevance of enzymes and health, that I reflected on what I had learned years ago about the need for living foods, and then what this all had to do with the issue of pet food quality and Regal’s health.
I initially took Regal in to see her new vet after she exhibited signs of not feeling well. She had started to pee on the carpet and had become very grumpy. As part of her diagnosing process, one the vet’s first questions was “What are you feeding Regal?” I remember telling her the brand name of Regal’s food and feeling very proud because I thought I had been feeding Regal the best of what was available. I was soon to discover that this was not the case.
With the vet’s question and her recommended change of Regal’s diet, I started my exploration regarding pet food quality. Since that time, I visited natural pet food stores, compared label contents, talked with knowledgeable people, reflected on what I already knew about the value of living foods, and did some reading. It’s been an eye-opening experience.
Three things have stood out for me during this quest for knowledge. The first is the inherent problem of processed foods, for all of us—humans and animals alike. The second is the quality or lack there in of the ingredients contained in pet foods. And, the third considers the whole issue of living enzymes. Naturally, all these are rather entwined.
