HOWEVER, if you have any of the following symptoms,
then having more of these might likely be helpful.
If you simply want to support digestion, you can try adding a supplement or incorporate natural sources of digestive enzymes in diet.
Foods with natural digestive enzymes include:
Pineapple
Papaya
Banana
Kefir
Kiwi
Honey
Sauerkraut
Avocado
Different types of enzymes target different nutrients:
Protease works on proteins
Lipase attacks the fats
Amylase breaks down carbs and starches
FOR EXAMPLE 👇🏻
Mangoes and bananas have amylase
Papaya has a type of protease called papain
Honey (raw) has amylase & protease
Avocado have lipase
Pineapple is rich in bromelain, one of my favorites
Fermented foods, picks up digestive enzymes during the fermentation process.
If your body doesn't make enough digestive enzymes, it can't digest food well.
Finding the root to your deficiency is also noteworthy….
Are you eating too fast? Do you have a leaky gut or a congested liver? An autoimmune condition?
