Healthy Enzyme Vinegar

I went for a talk about healthy enzyme making and its functions on Sunday. It is something new to me. You probably wonder what enzymes are. Enzymes are protein molecules responsible for all biological activities in our cells. They help to digest, absorb and utilize nutrients in our body. There are two main groups of enzymes that are digestive and metabolic enzymes.

Healthy enzyme DIY is a natural alternative remedy that boosts up our body immunity defense, alleviates digestive discomforts and inflammations, detoxifies and revitalizes our body cells. How these enzymes can be made? Under hygienic and control conditions, enzyme levels in fruits and vegetables will be elevated through fermentation. During the process, live bacteria "pre-digest" the nutrients available in fruits and veggies. The fermented fruits and veggies with elevated enzyme levels will become more useful for our body.

After the course, I made a bottle of white fungus enzyme vinegar that can nourish our lungs, strengthen our respiratory system and lower cholesterol. It is rich in protein that can improve and moisten our skin. One important issue that is noteworthy mentioned here is avoid using the usual sugar found in market because it will produce alcohol and carbon dioxide as the by-products during fermentation. Continuously consumption of alcohol is not recommended for liver and diabetic patients. We are encouraged to use Oligo 900 that is isomaltose to make healthy enzyme as it is beneficial to the growth of the friendly bacteria in our large intestine and prevents the growth of the harmful bacteria. More importantly, it won't transform into glucose and become alcohol in the latter part of fermentation.
