"Calorie restriction (CR), a dietary intervention that is low in calories but maintains proper nutrition, is the only intervention known to date that consistently decreases the biological rate of aging and increases both average and maximal lifespan."- Caloric Restriction in Humans: Impact on Physiological, Psychological, and Behavioral Outcomes
Take a moment and read that quote again! By lowering calories while maintaining proper nutrition we can decrease aging and extend life! This concept is at the heart of the LEANSynergy™ diet. We're not advocating anything crazy here. Lower your caloric intake in a healthy sensible way using super greens and moringa while improving your nutrient extract and digestive processes with probiotics and digestive enzymes. Add in an increase in physical activity and you will lose weight, shed fat and feel better!
Makes sense right?
The role of digestive enzymes is primarily to act as catalysts in speeding up specific, life-preserving chemical reactions in the body. In the simplest sense, they help break down larger molecules into more easily absorbed forms that the body can use to survive — needless to say, an important role in digestive health!
Digestive enzymes aren’t just beneficial, they’re essential! They break down food into amino acids, fatty acids, cholesterol (yes, it’s important to have cholesterol), simple sugars and nucleic acids, which help make DNA.
A Western Diet that is light on fresh fruits , vegetables and other beneficial plant based foods and heavy on fats, sugars, carbohydrates and animal protein creates an enzyme deficiency that is counter productive to nutrient absorption and health in general.
