Do you have a cast-iron stomach?

Managing a healthy lifestyle is a function of three things: 1) what you know, 2) what you eat, and 3) what you do. Information is the first step, but it amazes me how many people eat foods designed to stay “fresh” on store shelves for months (if not years) and then wonder why their bodies have a hard time digesting these same foods.

Some people are blessed with a cast iron stomach, but not everyone is so lucky. Moreover, awareness about digestive health is a relatively recent trend. The upshot is that people are only now coming to realize the years of damage they’ve inflicted on their bodies.

There are millions of people who suffer from ailments like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's Disease, Celiac Disease or food issues like gluten sensitivity who have taken great steps to change their eating behaviors. There are doubtless countless more people who have different ailments (or don’t even know what ailments they have).

Lifestyle modification is an absolute necessary step, and eating better (and getting more active) are the first parts of the equation, but sometimes these steps alone just aren’t enough.

In cases like that, some people turn to digestive enzymes to help get their bodies back on track.

Enzymes fall into a few categories, including food enzymes (found in raw food), metabolic enzymes (mostly found in the pancreas) and digestive enzymes (mostly found in the gut). Enzymes are technically proteins, and they help the body carry out the chemical reactions necessary to break down and ultimately digest food.

Some healthcare professionals believe that sometimes people have damaged metabolic functions and / or that their bodies need help. In cases like these, digestive enzymes can be of real benefit.
