In our present culture it is apparent that we have deviated from living sensibly especially where our nourishment is concerned.Much of our food intake comes in the form of fast foods which merely appear to meet our needs but actually do not.They not only lack in nourishment but often contain harmful ingredients.
It is vital that we return to our natural way of eating and eliminate all the chemicals and toxins, pesticide and herbicide from our food.
Many ancient civilizations followed the ways of nature and knew the importance of eating live and raw organic foods. The basics are composed of raw uncooked vegetables,fruit´s, germinated and sprouted grains, nuts and seeds, sprouted legumes,green sprouts,alcalinizing juices and some dehydrated and fermented foods.
Why should we eat raw food and not cook our food?
During this apparently harmless process of cooking our food over 42º vital enzymes are destroyed proteins are coagulated, making them very difficult to assimilate and the vitamins are mostly destroyed.Pesticides are restructured into even more toxic compounds, valuable oxygen is lost and free radicals are produced.
In addition there is another danger in cooked foods that has a special significance for our modern era with its over whelming stresses on the human immune system making individuals increasingly vulnerable to a variety of diseases.
A raw and living foods diet is loaded with enzymes, vitamins and minerals, abundant in oxygen and especially high in fiber and alkalinity. The abundance of oxygen in these foods should not be ignored.More and more studies reveal that illness can not live in a highly oxygenated and nourished body, deprivation of such leads to disease and death. On a raw food diet a continual supply of oxygen is fed in to the body with extremely beneficial results and is known to reverse acidification, aging, disease and death which is caused by cooked and processed foods.
With these simple and comprehensive truths in mind it is easy to see how harmony can be restored to the body through the the use of fresh raw and living foods.( adapted version from Brian Clement by Beverley Pugh)
