Part IV Bob Kennedy Gets Interested In Enzymes

As I went on about enzymes, and the effects of enzyme deficient diets Bob asked, "Wade, don't you get your enzymes from fruits like pineapples and papayas."

"Great point Bob, and for many years that was true but most of these foods have been irradiated or grown with chemicals which wipes out most of the enzymes naturally occurring in the fruits."

"Second problem is even if someone ate a great amount of the foods especially bodybuilders they would still have to digest all that protein they consumed. Now bodybuilders tend to stay away from fruits in the first place as they are worried about holding water but it's been my experience that enzyme deficient foods in general are causing the problems not the fruits."

I could tell that Bob was getting more interested so I went on.

Most bodybuilders eat massive amounts of protein that has been cooked, chemically laden, or worse, dead proteins that were processed at a plant and hawked as a nutritional breakthrough. The bloated bellies floating around in bodybuilding stages today are indicative of massive amounts of undigested protein sitting in the bellies of amateurs and pros alike.

Not only does it look bad, this undigested protein is feed for bad bacteria that create all kinds of toxins that leak into the bloodstream

Over time these toxins pollute the liver, the kidneys, and the hearts of even the hardest working athletes because the body has to use it's own enzyme reserves to digest the food. When that happens the body has to compromise the growth, as well as the repair of the various systems and related organs in the body. Now at first you may not notice it because the body has enough enzyme reserves to "write metabolic checks" however over time the body begins to drain it's enzyme resources and an enzyme debt begins to occur.

The body then starts to break down muscle tissue and skin in order to make enough enzymes to cover the cost. Repair of tissues, recovery, and energy levels start to drop. Sex drive, memory function, and elimination slow down and a person starts to become slower, and gains fat easier.

Part V Enzyme Depletion And The Aging Athlete

Dr. Howell pointed out that by age 27 most of the protease functioning in the body has pretty much shut down as the body recognizes it cannot keep up to the metabolic pace set by even the most dedicated athlete. Interestingly, if you examine the careers of most superstar athletes they tend to peak around 26-28 and then start to decline.

Injuries, fatigue and a loss of speed or quickness creeps in and the athlete's career begin to decline. Interestingly enough Arnold retired at the age of 28 because he felt it was getting to tough to stay ahead of the competition. Of course he did make a comeback 5 years later where he fought of severe injuries. He also was about 20 pounds lighter than his best weight, and from all accounts he did not deserve to win the show.

Arnold being Arnold of course found a way as he was probably the smartest and craftiest competitors all of all-time. Even though his body couldn't deliver what it could earlier, Arnold found a way.

Arnold's will and drive, which was his greatest strength pushed him through the competition but it may be a contributing factor as to why he is experiencing health challenges today.

You see Arnold's lifestyle, diet, and energy expenditure required huge amounts of enzymes to be spent in order to keep pace. Since Arnold would not accept anything less but greatness from himself he managed to always will himself past pain. He even comments about this in his writing as to how he brings himself past the pain barrier, he disregards the body's pain signals, and just gets the job done.

Almost every great athlete in the world applies the same principle to there training and to life and almost all do extreme damage to themselves from the years of athletic pursuit because the body needs enzymes to repair the damage from training, injuries, and lifestyle yet very few athletes consider how enzymes could be the missing link to extending ones' career or achieving a greater physical potential.
