The word "enzyme" is translated from Japanese. It originally referred to enzymes. " Zeng Qingshan explained that enzyme is a biocatalytic protein composed of amino acids.
No matter animals or plants, the basic life activities such as synthesis, decomposition, transportation and excretion of substances in the body are related to enzymes. There are thousands of enzymes in the human body.
Widely distributed in saliva, gastric juice, liver, pancreas and intestine. They play a variety of catalytic roles in the whole body and promote metabolism, which is really important for maintaining human health.
The "enzymes" with various magical effects such as weight loss, health preservation and even treatment, which are strongly promoted by some WeChat merchants in the market and friends circle, refer to products made from various fruits or plants after fermentation. Let's put a quotation mark on them to show the difference.
Because the ingredients of this kind of "enzyme" products are complex, it does not simply refer to enzymes, but also includes substances produced by fermentation such as polysaccharides, organic acids, alcohol, pectin, protein, vitamins and minerals. To put it bluntly, this "enzyme" is not an enzyme in the original sense. If you don't know the difference between these two concepts, it's easy to be fooled.
Extended data:
Zeng Qingshan, a medical professor, analyzed that most of the enzymes found at present belong to protein. Protein will denature when heated and pH changes.
In other words, even if the food containing enzymes is eaten raw and enters the stomach, it will be "inactivated" under the action of gastric acid, and finally only participate in the metabolism of the digestive tract. Therefore, there is no saying that "eating enzymes can lose weight" or even have various health and therapeutic effects.
Many people say that their bodies have changed after eating "enzymes". Zeng Qingshan believes that part of it is psychological suggestion, and more because people who eat "enzymes" have begun to pay attention to their health management and lifestyle adjustment.
For example, eat less junk food, exercise properly, and sleep on time. This is also emphasized by many sellers of "enzyme" products in the "treatment course".
Zeng Qingshan reminded everyone that instead of taking the time to try all kinds of "online celebrities", it is wiser to focus on lifestyle changes and health management.
