How To Make Lemon Ginger Enzyme
The enzyme drink is a healthy drink that should be taken daily. Some of its many benefits are: boosting the immune system, aiding in digestion, increasing metabolism (good for weight loss), reducing inflammation (aids in wound healing), and increasing energy level.
The enzyme drink is also classified as an alkaline drink. Its alkaline properties help balance the pH level in our body by consuming all those acid-forming foods that we consume every day. Examples of acid-forming foods are meats (pork, beef, lamb), dairy products (milk, egg, cheese), and prepared foods (candy, chocolate, microwave foods, and fast foods).
