■ Your hips will not be strong if the food you eat does not make ' you as strong as it can, and it won’t if the enzymes in your digestive tract and in your metabolic processes are not potent enough» En
zymes are not foods. They are substances in your food and in you that trigger necessary chemical changes in your food so that it can be absorbed and assimilated. Enzymes have the unusual quality of.
musing chemical.changes without beat, Like unseen ghosts, they possess the miracle power to stimulate specific-chemical changes without contributing any energy of their own. That’s why an en
zyme is called a “catalyst” It remains absolutely unchanged in the .midst of the most violent changes it causes in you or your ,food. It acts like.a ghost drifting through a violent human scene it has brought about. That’s why it can cause miracles to happen , in. you with your food.
Its activity, however, can be halted by cold or heat - Enzymes trigger the reactions faster with a small increase- of heat, but. they are destroyed with more heat, even after the food mixture is cooled. They are very active between 32 an d . 104 degrees Farhenheit When heated above 12 2° F., they are permanently annihilated. You also destroy them when you roast meat at 200° or 300°F.
That’s' why your refrigerator is such a valuable appliance»
When you keep foods like lettuce, celery and radishes at room temperature, they wither because- their enzymes remain active at that temperature and continue triggering aging chemical reactions in them. When you store these foods in the refrigerator, their enzymes hibernate and -the foods stop aging and stay fresh.. It proves'.that the aging process, whether in man, plant or animal, can ' be halted, as Yogatronics accomplishes.
How The little Food-Ghosts’Work •
■ Only a modicum of enzymes are needed to trigger a chemical reaction in your body.. Every, one of your cells contains enzymes,

and your body has several billion cells. Your enzymes are the only - connection your cells have with the rest of your body. Your salivary glands, your pancreas, your stomach and your intestines contain your main digestive enzymes, which number up to nine. This is most significant because the vitamins in your food can operate only when enzymes are present in your digestive juices. Each vitamin forms, with particular enzymes, complex enzyme systems. Every vitamin in your body, for that reason, is a part of an enzyme sys
tem. '
Your body never gets hot enough to destroy its enzyme sys
tems. Some enzymes, in addition, work only in an acid medium like your stomach. Other enzymes need an alkaline medium, like your intestines. For example, when you are sick or your stomach is not well, your stomach won’t secrete enough hydrochloric acid to digest your food. Your proteins won’t digest in your stomach (the site of their digestion) because your ill stomach lacks enough pep
sin, the enzyme in it that triggers protein digestion, Pepsin triggers protein digestion in an acid stomach but not in an alkaline one, That’s why drinking water when you eat meat, slows down the digestion of the meat in your stomach, The water tams your stomach alkaline. As you grow older you digest meat (protein4 less completely because your stomach secretes less hydrochloric acid.
That’s why, at the end of this chapter, you will be taught how to defy old age by keeping your stomach young with the Triple Tonic Secret,
RAW FOODS AND ENZYMES
Raw foods contain enzymes, but cooking destroys the en
zymes. The amount of enzymes your body needs to digest cooked food is, consequently, far more than it needs to digest raw* food.
Raw7 food contains far more enzymes than cooked food, wiiich help your body digest it. Eating raw/ food overworks your digestive glands (like overworking the glands of your pancreas when you digest starchy foods) far less than cooked food. It explains wiiy you feel full faster with raw food, unless you season the cooked food and fool yourself into thinking that you have eaten your fill, v/hen you are actually only half nourished, Hence, you either overeat when you eat cooked food because “it tastes so nice” or you undereat and

How To Gel the Most Enzyme Power Gut of Your Food
■To get the- most benefit out of raw food and keep your hips slim, you ought to grate or shred most of your raw food. Never cook fruits, except just enough to soften the hard dried ones, like figs.
Frozen fruit retains its enzymes, but should be eaten as soon as it thaws. Don’t eat it cold. Cold inactivates the enzymes, so that cold food passes through you undigested.
Enzymes are proteins. They are destroyed easily by heat, because proteins change when heated. Food digestion is most im
portant to the strength of your hips (to your whole body) because it both builds up and breaks down your tissues. It causes your cells to breathe and stay alive, and permits your muscles to contract more fully by supplying them with nutrition. You possess your own pat
tern of enzyme efficiency, however. It is difficult to explain by logic, but your physiological, mental and psychic realms exert con
trolling influence over it. Your enzyme efficiency might vary with that of your neighbor or companion not by a mere 20 to 50 percent, but more often by at least two to four-fold. In a substantial number of cases, you and other “normaT people might differ by 10 to 50-fold. The details of the complete metabolisms of you and your neighbor, even if both of you are diagnosed as normal in the clinic, might vary 10-fold. The cause baffles material science because material science has not given full importance to the grip of your mind over the food you eat. Learn how to use the Triple Tonic Secret to recreate or replenish enough of the enzymes which the food you eat has lost through the evils involved in the raising, handling and storing of modem civilization. It will be a big help to keep your hips slim, healthy and strong—and it will keep your waist small, and your weight ideal. (See Illus.. 15 for this Triple
Tonic Secret). : . .
