Can supplemental enzymes help slow the aging process?
According to Bob Farmer, Ph.D., a professor at Baylor University, the DNA of our body’s cells is constantly being damaged. When a cell’s DNA is damaged one of three things will happen: the cell will die; the change will be detected by the immune system and T-cells will kill it; or the cell will simply cease to do its assigned duty but will still hang around, using nutrients but providing no service. Dr. Farmer feels that the later of these three, the accumulation over a lifetime of millions of freeloading cells, is a primary cause of the aging process. The key then is to enhance the immune system so it can find and destroy these freeloading cells. Enzymes, along with a healthy lifestyle, can help improve the immune system and eliminate cells which are no longer needed by the body.
