The Benefits of Digestive Enzymes: Key players in digestion and health. Digestive enzymes are chemicals that help break down the nutrients in food into smaller particles that the body can absorb and use for its many physiological functions.
Foods rich in digestive enzymes are: Papain in papayas, which helps break down proteins. Bromelain in pineapples also helps break down proteins, as well as having anti-inflammatory properties. Sprouts (the seeds of different types of grain) are a concentrated source of enzymes when germinated (soaked in water).
