Then we get home and there are chores to take care of, making dinner, helping the kids with homework, putting final touches on next day’s presentation.

The food we eat plays a major key as to how our body performs and holds fat. The majority of food we eat is processed or cooked so much that all the living enzymes inside the food are dead I call this type of food ‘Empty Foods’. We human-beings are living organisms and we need living enzymes just for our body’s daily functioning. When we are young we have a reservoir of enzymes, this dries out over time when we don’t replenish it from the food we eat. When we don’t get enough live enzymes from our diet our pancreas kicks into action and makes them for us.
