Nutrition by Natalie
Information about Digestive Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes are enzymes that specifically work in the digestive system to facilitate the digestion, absorption, and transportation of nutrients. They also work to promote timely elimination of digestive waste products that are not of use to the body. Without enzymes, our cells would not get adequate nutrition and we would not survive.
Enzymes function as catalysts to enhance and dramatically speed up biochemical reactions that occur in every one of our cells. They are only activated in water, so staying hydrated is very important for enzymes to work effectively. Enzymes must be present to ensure proper digestion of nutrients, energy production, metabolism, transportation of fluid to cells, and elimination of toxins among many other functions.
Enzymes exist in foods to help our body’s breakdown what we eat. Raw, uncooked foods are the only foods that contain enzymes. Since the majority of our diets are cooked foods, we significantly limit the enzymes available in our food for digestion, thus putting more stress on our digestive systems. Some supplemental enzymes should be taken with food to enhance digestion and absorption of nutrients, whereas other supplemental enzymes should be taken on an empty stomach to support circulation, decrease inflammation, support our immune systems and combat stress. Imbalances in these factors have been scientifically proven to be associated with or the cause of numerous diseases.

Our Healthy Kids Project (HKP) here at ACCESS aims to promote healthier lifestyles for children, ages 5-10 years old, and their parents through active learning about physical activity, nutrition, environmental health and mental health. The goal of HKP is to try to help make living a healthy life fun and easy while engaging not only children but parents. This is the perfect opportunity for families to learn how daily behaviors impact personal health now and their influence on future health. It is possible to make a large impact by just a small change. Group sessions include height, weight, and blood pressure screening for children, health screenings and referrals, food preparation techniques, how to read nutrition labels, physical activity opportunities, safer household cleansers and a fieldtrip for families who attend regularly.
For more information, please contact Elizabeth Hughes, MPH Coordinator, Healthy Kids Project at

In his questions at the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee hearing on the Reauthorization of U.S. Child Nutrition Programs, Senator Dick Lugar asked Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to elaborate on how the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Agriculture plan to collaborate to improve school nutrition and lower incidences of childhood obesity. Citing recent reports that about 75% of our nations 17 to 24 year olds are ineligible for military service because of poor health and education, Senator Lugar encouraged Vilsack to continue to work with Secretaries Duncan and Sebelius to better connect federal nutrition programs with education and health programs not only to help our young people be better citizens and parents, but also to strengthen our national security. Likewise, Senator Lugar asked Secretary Vilsack to comment on how USDA and the Obama Administration propose to finance expansions to federal nutrition programs in the upcoming child nutrition and WIC reauthorization bill.

Someday, the children that we know will be running the world. Yes, all the little boys and girls who are now playing with balls and frogs, dolls and blocks will someday be the politicians, business executives, law enforcement officials, teachers, and, most important, parents. That’s why it’s so critical to teach them the right things now. Proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are a couple of those things. A child’s educational lessons about nutrition are the foundation of good health as an adult. Physical growth and mental development are dependent on a child having not only adequate nutrients, but also the proper ones. It is the adult’s role – whether it be a parent or other family member, teacher, or friend – to educate children on proper nutrition. After all, neither the body nor the brain can function adequately without the right nutrients; and when our new leaders make world-changing decisions, it’s imperative that their bodies and minds are as sharp and strong as possible. Discount vitamins can help accomplish this.

As we often hear health experts say, we need to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. However, for many busy individuals even the most basic breakfast is impossible, especially when one has to wake up at 4 am just to catch the early morning commute. Add that to preparing packed lunches for the kids and getting them ready for school and it almost always adds up to rush, rush mornings.

Business, any business, is about making money, right?
You’re in business to make money – it’s a great thing. There is absolutely no reason to have a business unless you’re in business to make money. You need it to live on, to make the world a better place and yes, to have fun. Even if you’re a non-profit organization – your goal is to make money and then spend it on your organization’s mission. Adding a membership site to your current business is a great way to increase that bottom line and make more money.
