A recent report in the "Journal of Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology" states that our body naturally produces hydrogen peroxide; over time, it builds up in the the hair follicles. As we age we make less of an enzyme called catalase, which keeps the peroxide in check. The resulting H2O2 interferes with the production of melanin, the pigment that gives hair it's color, and we go gray. . .

 

To me, it makes so much sense that the cause of gray hair would be an enzyme deficiency, specifically a deficiency in the catalase enzyme. Enzymes are vital to our health. They are involved in every metabolic process our bodies undergo. If we run out of enzymes, we run out of life. The larger the enzyme reserve we have, the more efficient and beautiful our body is.

This is one main reason why the raw food diet has become so popular. By keeping the enzymes in your food you use less of your body's enzyme reserve to digest your food. However, in our modern society the raw food diet is often not enough to replenish our enzyme reserves which have been depleted by stress, processed foods, lack of sun and proper exercise over generations of time.

 

Many people realize this and also take enzyme supplements. Again, this is not always sufficient, either because the enzymes are not in a form that is bio-available or they are not the right kind of enzymes our bodies require.

 

The best way to receive enzyme nutrition is through natural means. Your body is able to recognize natural sources more easily and therefore absorb more. So the key is to add super enzyme rich foods into your diet on a daily basis. Bee pollen is an excellent source of catalase. It also contains many other enzymes when it is fresh and stored correctly.
