Eating more of the following high-enzyme foods into your daily routine will help give you an extra “kick” of enzymes to really boost your body’s digestion:
- Pineapples:rich in bromelain, an anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer class of enzyme that supports protein digestion
- Avocados:rich in lipase, a nutritive enzyme that supports fat digestion
- Bananas:rich in amylase, which supports carbohydrate digestion, and maltase, which supports sugar digestion
- Apricots:rich in invertase, an enzyme that supports sugar and carbohydrate digestion
- Kiwis:rich in actinidin, a unique enzyme found only in kiwifruit that very effectively breaks down proteins in meat and dairy
If you want to take a high-quality enzyme supplement it should include all three types of pancreatic enzymes, which include:
- Proteases:help support the breakdown and digestion of proteins
- Lipase:helps support the breakdown and digestion of fats
- Amylase: helps support the breakdown and digestion of starches and carbohydrates
Avoid enzyme-inhibiting foods: refined sugar, preservatives, white flour & artificial sweeteners
