Raw, unaltered, unprocessed, UNCOOKED organic food is how nature intended it! Not only are raw and living foods abundant in beneficial enzymes aiding in the digestion and absorption of our foods vitamins and minerals, but they are the whole food, nutrient dense sources of energy our bodies need to obtain abundant “life force.”
“Life force” is what provides us with the vibrance, energy and anti-aging agents our bodies need to reach optimal health and wellness. Living foods charge our cells, and these cells are the “batteries” our bodies run on. Would you put anything less than the best fuel in your car? Is your body not as important if not more than the vehicle you drive? If we don’t have our health we don’t have anything.
Cooked food becomes depleted of 70-80% of its vitamins and minerals, 50% of its protein becomes coagulated, almost 100% of its phytonutrients are lost and all of its living enymes are destroyed. This is why we should all be consuming at least 50% raw foods. The ratio from that point on depends on each individuals specific dietary and lifestyle needs.
Also, did you know that organic foods contain twice the nutrients of non-organic? How about taking that one step further and buying local, organic food to support our local, friendly and fabulous farmers! Not to mention local foods are fresher, contain higher amounts of nutrients, are picked ripe and help us eat seasonally and build those strong immune systems we all want and need!
Raw and living foods are not only great for health and longevity, they are friendly to the environment and taste delicious as well! Doesn’t the idea of giving your body what it needs for inner and outer beauty, combined with an eco-friendly way of living and igniting and awakening your taste buds sound appealing? Whether it is for beauty, health, longevity, the planet or a down right love of food and flavor raw and living foods will satisfy them all!
