1063 - What is the role of enzymes in the body?

Enzymes are special helpers in our body. They are like superheroes that make many things happen very quickly.

Imagine you are trying to cut a rope. It takes a lot of time and effort, but if you use scissors, it's much faster. That's what enzymes do. They help break down foods we eat, like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, so our body can use them for energy.

Enzymes also help heal wounds, fight off germs, and even fix damaged cells. They are like tiny machines that speed up chemical reactions in our body, making many processes happen faster and more efficiently.
