This Strange Trick SLASHES Dangerous Inflammation

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Sometimes I feel like a broken record…. I talk about inflammation all the time.
And I hope my message is getting through.
Many of us are suffering from out-of-control inflammation right now. And it can wreck your health and make you a sitting duck for serious diseases.
And while there are drugs (like ibuprofen) that can reduce inflammation, most of them do more harm than good.
But there’s actually a simple supplement that can help get inflammation under control. It can slash your risk of heart disease, and even improve your digestive health in the bargain.
And if you’re like most folks I’ve met, no doctor has ever told you about it.
Digestive enzymes are one of the best ways to control inflammation.
Enzymes are molecules that speed up the conversion of one chemical to another.
While enzymes are used to help our digestion (they help us break down food), they also play many other roles in our bodies.
Studies show that taking the right enzymes stops inflammation by reducing the swelling of membranes, decreasing leakage in our capillaries, and dissolving blood clots.
Enzymes also make blood flow better, which helps you reduce a major risk factor for heart disease.
But enzymes don’t stop there.
If an infection is part of the reason why you have inflammation, enzymes help remove cellular debris that builds up.
Once the debris is gone, inflammation drops.
Other studies show that enzymes:
- Prevent plaque buildup in the heart.
- Reduce digestive problems like inflammatory bowed disease.
- Give your immune system a boost.
But here is the problem: normally we get enzymes in our food, but, because they are easily destroyed by cooking (and we cook most everything we eat), they are almost completely gone from our diets.
Enzymes are something your body desperately needs every day.
The only way to really get them is through supplementation.
Consider adding digestive enzymes to your daily routine. You can get NOW Foods Super Enzymes at www.iherb.com.
These enzymes are crucial to helping improve your digestion, boosting your heart health, and lowering inflammation.
Health and Happiness,
