Diges ve enzymes are proteins which are so important for our diges ve system because they assist in the breakdown and absorp on of the food we eat. They are especially important because they allow us to absorb the nutrients from our food which of course is impera ve for good health.

Our bodies are made to actually produce these diges ve enzymes. Our saliva contains diges ve enzymes. Certain organs such as our liver, gallbladder and pancreas secrete these diges ve enzymes and the cells on the wall our intes nes also store these enzymes. The problem o en arises however when our body doesn’t produce enough of these diges ve enzymes, and we suffer from diges ve issues. This is when taking a Diges ve Enzyme tablet may be helpful.

Interes ngly there are many different types of enzymes which exist to target and are responsible for breaking down certain elements and nutrients in our food. These diges ve enzymes are produced by our body to assist with the absorp on of specific types of food such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Below are just some of these enzymes –

Protease which includes pepsin, trypsin, and fruit proteases such as bromelain and papain targets and breaks down protein

Amylase focuses on and breaks down carbohydrates, sugars and starches which are o en found in plant foods (grains, vegetables and fruits etc)

Lipase breaks down fats and is helpful in absorbing foods such as nuts, oils, eggs meat and dairy products. Lactase helps break down lactose. Tilactase is also a type of lactase which helps with diges ng lactose in dairy products

Sucrase breaks down sucrose (sugar) conver ng into fructose and glucose

Cellulose helps breakdown cellulosic fibres and Maltase breaks down maltose (malt sugar) into glucose

As we age our diges ve enzymes decrease and we may be more prone to lactose intolerance, acid reflux and general bloa ng, gas etc. At a me when it’s even more important that we absorb the nutrients from our food, it is essen al to address this deple on of our diges ve enzymes. These issues can also be caused because our stomach acid becomes more alkaline preven ng pancrea c secre ons from being released and of course low acid can be the cause of acid reflux.

As many will be fully aware, you don’t have to be elderly to suffer from diges ve issues. Diges ve issues such as abdominal bloa ng, diges ve discomfort, belching, gas, diarrhoea, cons pa on, abdominal pain, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be helped by taking diges ve enzymes. If a er ea ng you

Food—bought to you by GOVITA Batemans Bay

have this feeling of ongoing fullness, taking diges ve enzymes may help.

Various raw fruits contain enzymes which can aid diges on. Kiwi, papaya, pineapple, bananas and mango. Fermented foods such as natural yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi may be helpful.

Taking a Diges ve Enzyme for many can be very helpful. As we know good gut health is crucial to our overall health and wellbeing. Diges ve enzymes are not just beneficial for our health they are essen al!!

Tuross Head Bowls Report

The finalists in the 2023/24 Mixed Pairs Championship have been decided a er two very interes ng games played in very challenging condi ons. The players have been very happy with the condi on of the green that is running extremely well. However, the very windy condi ons on Saturday made it very difficult for all players to manage the speed of the green.

Denise and Bruce Lidbury did ba le with Sue and John Fahey with Denise looking to make her 12th final in this event since 2011!! In 2020 she was unable to play due to injury but she has played in every final other than that since 2011! Bruce has joined her in six of these finals winning the tle five mes – a great record!

This game started in an unusual way with 3 big scores in the first 6 ends. The Lidburys started with 4 shots only to see the Faheys reply with 5 shots on the 2nd end! Another 4 shots on the 6th end to the Lidburys resulted in the scores being locked on 8 all. The players started to se le down to the tes ng condi ons and the ends became ghter. By the halfway mark the Lidburys edged ahead 14 – 9.

From the 12th end things started to change as Sue Fahey put the pressure on with some excellent lead bowls. She received great support from John which enabled them to move ahead and hold a 19 – 14 lead a er 17 ends. Denise found her mark on the 18th end with four outstanding bowls. John Fahey was able to limit the damage but 2 shots from the Lidburys saw them trailing by only 3 shots at 16 – 19.

The Faheys con nued their great form over the last three ends and ran out winners 23 – 16.

The other match pi ed John and Doreen Monks against Jonathan Green and Rose Farrington. The early ends were close and shared between the teams with the score 5 all a er 6 ends. At this point Green started to dominate the head with very good lead bowls. By the 11th end Green and Farrington led 13 – 6. The Monks’s stopped the one way traffic when they scored 4 shots on the 12th end and then another 2 shots on the 13th end to narrow the margin to just a single shot at 13 – 12. Once again it was Green who led the charge for his team as they won the next 3 ends to move to 19 -12 a er 16 ends. Monks narrowed the score to 19 – 14 with 2 shots on the 17th end but Green and Farrington were not to be denied. They both bowled very well on the last few ends and were able to win 25 – 15.

Moruya River.

The river has been a bit on the quiet side this week, as is to be expected with the current water temps. There have been a few visi ng salmon found around the Preddy’s wharf area. This is a seasonal occurrence, with the salmon coming into the river to look for a feed. The fish have been around the 40-50cm mark and in very healthy condi on. They are a lot of fun on light tackle. Small metals or baits will a ract them to you. The flathead have been no ceably quiet this last week, with only a few reports coming in. What fish have been caught have been in the deeper holes with very slowly worked so plas cs and the odd baits.

The bream have also been fairly non-compliment this week, with a few fish coming off the rock walls that line the river on both the north and south sides. A white bait on small gang hooks with li le to no weight and le to dri down along the face of the walls can bring them unstuck. You will have to work through the smaller fish, but that is usually the way.

Tuross River.

Tuross has been the pick of the systems this week, with its recrea onal only status helping out when the fishing slows up. Those working the deeper holes have found a few bream and flathead using out. Boat anglers do have the advantage here, as they are able to more easily access all of the river. The boat sheds do have a very nice deep hole that can be accessed by those who are land based. It is quite a produc ve hole at mes.

Further upstream, the holes around the metal Bodalla bridge will hold a few bream, flathead and estuary perch on the local snag piles. While some of the be er known holes may also hold a mulloway or two.

Rock and beach.

The salmon have been plen ful and in really good condi on for the local beach anglers this week. Fish to 50cm have not been uncommon, and fat has been the general consensus as to their condi on. Pilchards on the standard paternoster rig or metals cast and retrieved has been the undoing of many fish this week. Beaches with good deep gu ers tend to be holding the most fish. Wind sock north of the airport has on such gu er, while further south around Pedro point, there is another well established gu er system.

From the stones, the drummer are on the bite in good size and numbers. A loaf of white bread soaked in a bucket of water and a packet of prawns worked a treat for me last weekend, with a 40cm, 38cm and 31cm model gracing the stones and my bucket in a quick 45minute session. Only take what you need for a feed that night, as freezing fish doesn’t do it all that much good.

Offshore.

There have been a few reports from the game crews this week of a few nice yellowfin tuna being caught out wide, so if that is your idea of fun, head out and see how you go.

On the snapper and flathead front, good numbers of fish con nue to find their way into fish boxes for those heading out onto the inshore reefs. Start looking in around the 20m mark and head out to 40m if you do t have any luck in close.

We have had a good school holiday run, with plenty of families op ng to visit the coast instead of the ski fields this holidays. The bait freezer has seen a fact it of a workout this week, and is a li le on the low level, but we are s ll stocked with most of the favourite baits.

We have just had 2 pallets of Kings gear arrive today, so we have had a restock of some of the more popular items.
