Here's a fabulous little article on the reason that enzymes are so important to our health. It comes from the Hippocrates Health Institute, in West Palm Beach, Florida. (the foremost center for healing through raw and living foods, headed by Brian and Anna Maria Clement); their e-newsletter is called aliveRaw.com.

Just to reiterate; the more un-cooked and un-processed food we eat, the more enzymes we ingest. Try to go for one to two raw meals a day, and fill them with organic (remember, pesticides denature our food as well) green and plant-based foods; soaked nuts and seeds and green fruit smoothies.
