Enzymes have been gaining popularity for the past two years.
In 2014, enzymes were sweeping the Japanese drugstore counters by storm, capturing a significant market share and becoming incredibly popular. Merchants aggressively promoted their ability to "lose weight," "enhance beauty," and "clear toxins." From high-end consumers to the general public, everyone seemed to be swept up in this fervor for enzymes.
The popularity of enzymes is not only due to their myriad of miraculous effects but also because they can be made at home. It's said that making fruit enzymes at home with fruits can beautify the skin and improve beauty! The female host couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is this enzyme? Can it help with weight loss, beauty, delay aging, and do everything in one fell swoop? Let's explore together.
What is Enzyme? Enzyme is a Japanese word and its formal name in the standard Chinese is enzyme, also known as biological catalyst.
Almost all chemical reactions in the metabolic processes of living organisms are catalyzed by "enzymes".
Enzymes are present in all living organisms, including humans. The sources of enzymes within the human body can be divided into two categories: endogenous enzymes, which are generated by the human body, and exogenous enzymes, which are absorbed through food intake. Consuming vegetables and fruits provides us with these exogenous enzymes.
Is Enzyme-based Weight Loss Effective? Our bodies are primarily composed of enzymes, which play a crucial role in the biochemical reactions that occur. Enzymes participate in the metabolism, nutrition, and energy transformation processes of the body, serving as indispensable catalysts for life activities.
So without enzymes, we're toast.
However, consuming enzyme products ultimately breaks down into amino acids for absorption by the body, and there is no connection with weight loss or fat burning.
Is it really that effective? In fact, there are over 5000 different types of enzymes in the human body.
The enzyme products or homemade ferments in the market can't measure what kind of enzymes they contain, and because enzymes are specific, only a certain type of substance and chemical combination can promote a certain chemical reaction and produce a certain product.
Therefore, since it is impossible to ascertain the enzymes contained in enzyme products, it is also impossible to determine whether consuming such products can be beneficial for skin beauty and detoxification.
Therefore, it is not entirely scientific to claim that enzymes can be used for cosmetic purposes, delaying aging.
Moreover, enzymes can become inactive under specific conditions.
When enzymes enter the intestines, they may lose their activity or be broken down by pepsin in the stomach. This means that even if we eat enzymes, they will not be very effective.
How to Make Homemade Fruit Ferment? The fruit ferment sold for thousands in Japan might make you feel tempted not to splurge, but you can actually make it at home with fruits. Even a female host was so captivated that she couldn't help but buy it! However, experts have pointed out that this fruit ferment is essentially just a fruit pickle.
The process of making fruit enzymes on the internet, which involves layering fruits with sugar in a single layer method, is essentially natural fermentation. The resultant fruit enzymes are essentially a type of fermented product, containing various enzymes that cannot be controlled or identified for their functions.
So, making your own fruit fermentation is no different from making pickles.
Additionally, fruits may contain many microorganisms. If the process of making fruit enzymes is not done properly, then the resulting fruit enzymes will not be health-promoting but can be harmful to health.
Therefore, experts suggest that it is better to eat fruits directly rather than making "enzymes" from them. This may result in the loss of nutrients when consuming fruits directly as it allows for maximum absorption of their nutritional content.
Who Needs Probiotics? Although probiotics are very popular and have various miraculous labels, female broadcaster is still calm, in fact, has repeatedly wanted to fly to Japan to buy.
It is true that the total amount of enzymes in the human body may decline with age. Therefore, is it really necessary to supplement enzymes? Q: Who needs to supplement enzymes? A: People with poor liver and kidney function, digestive issues, frequent illnesses, low immunity, being underweight or obese, often feeling fatigued and exhausted should consider supplementing enzymes.
There are bottled enzyme drinks, liquid enzyme capsules and powdered enzyme tablets on the market. If you really need one, try it, but don't expect too much.
Q: Apart from drinking enzymes, how can one maintain a healthier body? A: In fact, a balanced diet and good living habits can also contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
Generally speaking, enzymes in the body actually ensure that your cells and metabolism are healthy.
What are the functions of enzymes? Although enzymes have less significant effects on weight loss and beauty, they can still play a positive role. Mothers can make "environmental enzymes" by combining vegetable leaves, fruit peels, sugar (either black sugar, yellow sugar, or sugarcane syrup), and tap water in a 3:1:10 ratio. Then, use non-glass or metal containers to seal and store the mixture in a cool, ventilated area for three months.
The eco-friendly spore fermentation produced in this way can inhibit the activity of harmful microorganisms, particularly pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria. It has now been widely used, and it can be used to remove kitchen grease, mould in toilets, and even sterilize pet cages! *The medical part mentioned in this text is for reference only.
In the event of discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. The diagnosis and treatment should be based on clinical examinations conducted in person.
