Generally, enzyme deficiency in the body can be supplemented through food, medication, and other means, including foods such as papaya and honey. The details are as follows:
I. Food
1. Papaya
Papaya contains abundant papain, which can supply essential trace elements and vitamins needed by beneficial bacteria. It helps replenish corresponding enzymes in the body and enhances individual immune function.
2. Honey
Honey contains certain amounts of amylase and lipase, along with various enzymatic substances. Consuming honey in moderation can supplement nutrients required by the human body and achieve the effect of enzyme supplementation.
II. Medication
In general, supplementing enzymes through food is relatively slow and can only help alleviate conditions. Usually, medical treatment with drugs is necessary. Under a doctor's guidance, multienzyme tablets may be used for relief; these tablets contain nutritional components such as pancreatin and pepsin.
Besides, it may also be beneficial to moderately consume foods like mung beans and spinach, or take lactase tablets under medical supervision. However, food cannot replace the effectiveness of medication. When illness occurs, it is best to follow medical advice and undergo drug treatment accordingly.
