Going Raw: How Lipases Help Burn Fat For Energy

Going on a raw diet has been known to help terminally ill people who were on the brink of death. But you don't have to adopt a completely raw vegetarian diet to gain some of the health and weight-loss benefits. One of the secrets to raw food diets is lipase, a fat-splitting enzyme found in foods that are live and raw such as sprouts, fresh fruit and vegetables.

Learning to love lipase

You can take supplements that contain enzymes to help with your digestion. One highly recommended product is called "ZymeMax," by Advanced Naturals. The product includes a proprietary enzyme blend of lipase along with pepsin, papain, protease, cellulase, lipase and other enzymes. It also has HCI, which is especially important for people with A blood type or those who do not have the stomach acid needed to break down and digest proteins.

The miracle effects of lipases

Without enzymes, it's impossible to get rid of the fat in your hips, stomach and buttocks. Mostly synthesized in the liver, lipases digest fats while protease digest protein and amylase digests carbohydrates.

You can find enzymes in raw foods such as seed sprouts as well as pineapple, papaya. If you do not get your enzymes through raw foods, your body will have to work overtime to provide itself with what it needs.

In the end, you could end up taxing your digestive system by not eating enough raw foods.

Eating more fruits and vegetables and increasing your dietary intake is not just important because the foods help you feel satiated and full. It's also important for your digestive health.

Gradually increase raw foods

Finally, add raw vegetables into your diet gradually by eating a lettuce salad with deep-colored greens and raw carrots and broccoli. Use an olive oil based dressing with lemon and crushed fresh herbs.

Try eating raw vegetables as a snack before meals. Its also healthy to eat cooked vegetables since cooking some vegetables, such as spinach, releases some of the nutrients. But to get enough lipases, make sure you go raw at least for part of the day.
