Different types of foods trigger the release of different types of digestive enzymes, some acidic and others alkaline. Alone, each type of enzyme does a fabulous job breaking down foods as nature intended. But when both types of digestive enzymes are released at the same time, that’s when trouble can develop.

Why? The alkaline and acid enzymes neutralize each other (remember that from science class?) to the point where neither type of enzyme can do its job. Digestion is greatly impaired and your meal does not get broken down properly…
