Good digestion is important!
Do you care more about the comfort of your clothes after eating than if they are fashionable? Are you like Joey from Friends who has specific eating pants? You are not alone, indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, affects about 25% of the entire population. Each person may describe their symptoms differently: stomach aches, tummy aches, heartburn, bloating, or feeling full after only small amounts of food.1 Optimal digestion is important for overall good health, and digestive enzymes can help with that.
Digestive enzymes are proteins that the body uses to help break down the food you eat. Imagine a jackhammer breaking down pieces of concrete – digestive enzymes transform food into smaller elements that the body can absorb to ensure its health and well-being. Taking an enzyme supplement with every meal can help improve digestion and reduce symptoms of indigestion.
Since we eat a variety of foods that contain many different nutrients, it is important to look for an enzyme formula that contains a varied amount of enzymes to help with digestion across all food ranges. This way, you can get the most nutrients from your meals and reduce indigestion symptoms. When choosing an enzyme formula, two things should be considered:
- The type of enzymes – Each nutrient needs a specific enzyme to help break it down. Think of it like a specific key to open a door. For example, protease breaks down proteins, amylase breaks down carbohydrates, lipase breaks down fats, and lactase breaks down lactose.
- The amount of enzymes – Some people may have difficulty breaking down certain foods, while others may have difficulty breaking down all their meals all the time.

Each plant-based formula contains powerful enzymes chosen for their ability to break down proteins, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, dairy products, and other nutrients. Whether you have trouble digesting certain foods or all foods, all the time, there is a Renew Life® digestive enzyme formula that is right for you!

To keep your gut in top shape, nourish it well with prebiotic and probiotic foods and take a multi-strain probiotic supplement. There are over 1,000 strains of bacteria in the human gut. It is therefore important to choose a probiotic supplement whose formula contains a certain diversity of strains, but the number of cultures is also important. The number of cultures refers to the total number of bacteria in each serving. A powerful probiotic formula contains multiple strains of bacteria and billions of live cultures per serving to help bring more good microbes for a healthy and happy gut!

Last but not least…
Chew your food well
Many people suffer from poor digestion simply because they do not chew their food properly. If you take the time to prepare a good meal, you owe it to yourself to savor and enjoy it. Your gut will thank you.
Control your portions
Your body is designed to digest food in small quantities. So, think about what you put on your plate. It is better to eat small meals more often.
