Are you having trouble with your digestion? I understand you so much… For years, I’ve also been looking for THE miracle solution. And I can tell you that after testing everything, natural enzymes have really changed my daily life. In this article, I share with you my discoveries about these little digestive helpers that make all the difference.
Why did our ancestors digest better than we do?
It’s crazy when you think about it: our grandparents didn’t have all the digestive problems we have today. The reason? Their diets were far less processed than ours. As a result, our digestive systems have a hard time keeping up with all these modern foods.
The 5 natural enzymes you need to know
1. α-Amylase: your ally against starchy foods
It breaks down complex carbohydrates. Basically, if you have trouble digesting bread, pasta or potatoes, this is what you need. It’s found naturally in saliva, but sometimes a little help doesn’t hurt.
2. Protease: saying goodbye to post-meal heaviness
Meats that stick to your stomach, legumes that bloat… Protease takes care of all that by breaking down proteins. A real relief when you like hearty meals!
3. β-galactosidase (or lactase): the enzyme of lactose intolerant people
If milk and dairy products are your enemy, this enzyme is for you. It helps digest lactose and considerably reduces the bloating that goes with it.
4. Cellulase: for better fiber digestion
Do vegetables make you bloat? Our bodies don’t naturally produce the enzyme that breaks down cellulose. A little help from outside can really help.
5. Lipase: for high-fat meals
It breaks down fats and helps digest them. Perfect for festive meals and restaurant outings!
How to boost your enzymes naturally?
Good news: you can stimulate enzyme production naturally. Chew your food well (yes, as your mom used to say!), avoid drinking too much during meals, and opt for fermented foods.
The complete, game-changing solution
Personally, I recently discovered FLAT, a new supplement that combines just these 5 enzymes with a clever blend of herbs. What blew me away was that it contains DigeZyme®, a super-efficient multi-enzyme complex, plus probiotics (such as Bacillus subtilis DE111®) that further enhance its action. The great thing about FLAT is that all you have to do is take it with your biggest meal of the day. You don’t have to worry about all those different supplements!
The little extras that make all the difference
To maximize the effectiveness of enzymes, whether natural or supplementary, I advise you to: – Eat slowly (I know, it’s hard…) – Avoid overly large portions – Drink water throughout the day – Take a short digestive walk after your meal.
In conclusion
Digestive enzymes are really the key to regaining digestive comfort on a daily basis. If you’re struggling like I was before, I sincerely advise you to try FLAT. In addition to enzymes, it contains everything you need for top digestion: plants that work, probiotics, and even vitamin B3 to protect your digestive mucosa. Don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments if you’ve tried the digestive enzymes too, I’d love to hear your feedback! And if you want more digestive tips, subscribe to our newsletter.
