There are thousands of cells on earth, which fulfill a fundamental role for life, making us see that each and every one of them is important for our existence.
Many of us may not know the importance of an enzyme and we ignore its presence in our body, which is why it is vital that we know about this important cell.
Enzymes are cells responsible for catalyzing, that is, disintegrating or decomposing food, in order to take advantage of proteins and carbohydrates in such a way that they can be used for our organism, these cells are responsible for thousands of biochemical reactions in our body, making us many Sometimes dependent on them.
The enzymes responsible for the digestive system
It is said that enzymes are found in all parts of our body, playing a very important role, such as digestion. These are present in the saliva helping the decomposition of food, as well as in the gastric juice and pancreatic juice, that is why the enzymes are responsible for a good digestion.
There are enzymes such as lactase that is responsible for helping us digest milk sugar, is often responsible for problems to digest milk. In addition to lactose is also the lipase that is responsible for digesting the fat of food, that's why when we eat foods with a lot of fat is more difficult to digest, since we do not have the amounts of lipase needed to break them down and so digest them. Digestive enzymes tend to help in gastrointestinal problems, which is why it is advisable to eat foods such as fruits and vegetables that are a great source of enzymes.
These cells are found in a lot of fruits and vegetables, since they help to different problems, example of this the bromelia, that is an enzyme that helps the healing and is in the pineapple.
Importance of enzymes in living beings.
Enzymes not only help digestion but also the elimination of toxins, protease is the enzyme responsible for weight loss and the elimination of toxins, if this enzyme does not perform its function properly you can observe fluid retention.
The importance of enzymes for humans, lies also in the well-being of the immune system, because several of these protein cells (enzymes) are responsible for maintaining high defenses.
On the other hand, in many people can be observed symptoms such as digestion problems that indicate lack of enzymes, that is why it is vital to see if we present heartburn or abdominal swelling, since these effects will cause a deficit of enzymes produced by a bad diet or by ingesting a large amount of medicines.
Enzymes are one of the most important cells in the human body, since they fulfill multiple functions within the digestive system and the immune system, activating white blood cells to counteract the attack of different diseases.

Hi @beatriz35, just FYI enzymes are not cells. An enzyme is a molecule - enzymes work inside cells.
As a general tip, it is best practice to give a link to your external reference(s) at the end of the post - for instance, if you refer to Wikipedia while writing your article, leave a link to the Wikipedia page at the end of your post.
Good luck in your posting going forward :) Cheers - Carl
