Your enzymes depend upon vitamins and minerals. They
work together. If you have a deficiency, you run the risk of enzyme
dysfunction and this can cause weakness of your digestion, the root of health. So you need a balanced daily intake. Every day, get an adequate amount of these important enzyme helpers in these foods:
Vitamin A. Fish liver oils, dairy products, carrots, canta-
loupe, peaches, squash, tomatoes and all yellow and green fruits and
vegetables.
Vitamin B-Complex. Brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, bran,
whole grain breads and cereals, brown rice, organ meats such as
liver, poultry, desiccated liver, bananas.
Vitamin C. All citrus fruits, green peppers, many vegetables.
Vitamin D. Egg yolk, fish, fish liver oils, fortified dairy products.
Vitamin E. Most vegetable oils, wheat germ, bran, beef
liver, seeds, nuts, soybeans, whole grain cereals and breads.
Minerals. These include calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper,
magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, zinc and the other
trace elements. You’ll nourish your enzymes with minerals found
in these foods: dairy products, whole grains, green and yellow vege-
tables, most seafoods, liver, lean meats, brewer’s yeast, desiccated
liver, egg yolk, seeds, nuts and wheat germ.
Suggestion: When planning your meals, include a variety
of these foods every day. You’ll be providing your enzymes with
valuable co-workers who are able to build and rebuild the collagen
lining of your entire body.
