Cooking at home is the ideal.
At home, you can use the best quality meats, organic produce and you know exactly what goes into your meal right down to each spice.
However, there are times that we all face where we must eat somewhere else. You may have a special event to attend, a family gathering, potluck or dinner at a restaurant.
Picking a restaurant that uses local, natural ingredients are helpful. You check out this link for suggestions: Eat Well Guide
But even with eating at restaurants with high-quality food, eating food out of your routine and that may contain unexpected ingredients can cause some digestive distress.
Taking a good quality digestive enzyme supplement along with you can be a lifesaver when traveling or dining out. Although taking an enzyme is not a free pass to eat foods that are not good for you, it is a good way to preemptively reduce ill effects of the bad ingredients that sneak into your meals.
An enzyme we frequently recommend for such purposes is Multizyme. It assists in the break down of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Many of you may already be on a supplement for digestive support. Check with your practitioner to see if you are on already on a digestive enzyme supplement or which product may be best for you.
Yours in health,
