Expert: Dr Mohd Tariq Salman - 10/27/2009
Question Dear Dr
I could not find the right category. Hope you can help. Also I want an opinion from a doctor.
I'll like to know if we eat fresh fruits or vegetables or any raw thing, will we as human able to get those enzyme, ie will it benefit us or the enzyme in the fruits or vegetables is solely for breaking/digesting the fruit or vegetable. What if the fruits or vegetables is cut? Will the enzyme still be there? Can you obtain enzyme externally? I understand our bodies produce enzyme.
Also they say that preferably you should eat fruits on an empty stomach or before meal. Why is this so?
Thank you. Your reply is very much appreciated.
Cheers
Eddie
Answer Enzymes are proteins and would broken down in our stomach and intestine into amino acids which will then be absorbed. Yes, you can obtain enzymes externally. Its preferable to take fruits empty stomach because food will not be there to interfere with absorption of the nutrients.
