THE ACID/ ALKALINE FACTOR

The concept of acid versus alkaline foods can be tricky to comprehend at first, but its very important to know this how this relates to that you put into your body. You see, a healthy body is mostly alkaline balanced.
    Foods like meat, cheese, white flour products caffeine and alcohol create toxins the body must deal with. When these foods are consumed, diseases start forming, the colon becomes clogged, the bloods PH balance, which should be 7.35 to 7.4, moves more toward acidic, and cells become deprived of oxygen and other nutrients. The result is gradual and inevitable physical deterioration .
  The following are some of the acidic and alkaline food respectively; fish, meat, poultry, eggs, grains and most legumes belongs to acidic food..... while onions, watermelon, sweet potato, almonds, cauliflower , green vegetables are alkalne foods.
The good news is because the human body is amazingly able to heal itself, eating living foods has a naturally alkalizing effects of an acidic diet!
 The bottom line is that living foods bring us life. A diet rich in living foods as designed by God  and with everything we need for perfect health provides us with the ultimate raw materials to not only maintain optimal health and vigor, but also to heal ourselves of existing diseases and sickness. To many people, for much too long, have been trying to survive on the alternative dead and processed food. And they paid to little attention to what kinds of foods we are even capable of eating in its raw condition.
 David wolfe, author of natures first law ; The raw food diet, says if you think humans are meat eaters, then try eating the animal flesh raw, like every carnivorous eaters on the planet. If something is not palatable in its raw state, then you probably shouldn't be eating it.

LIVING FOODS

God news we would need proper tools and materials as caretakers and stewards of our own bodies, and that is why he gave us every seed and plants.

   Living plant food is the original source of nutrition for humankind and for all other life. Fresh vegetable such as carrot, sprouts, leafy greens, potatoes, pepper, onions, cabbage, cucumbers, yams and a host of other raw and uncooked produce are the greatest source of all vitamins. Oily foods such as nuts, seeds, olives, avocados, and coconuts are among the rich, healthy  fats that are important to a healthy diet. Flax oil provide a good supply of omega3. But remember, once heated, the healthy fats in these items become"trans" fats ( trans fatty acid) and can become carcinogenic in nature. Living fruits can be sweet, mangoes and cherries, for example or non sweet, cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes.

    Juices made from fresh vegetables are also living foods. The nutrients in fresh juices are full of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. The best advantage of drinking fresh vegetable juice, rather than eating the whole vegetable, is that the fiber has been removed, and thus we get more nutrition ti the cellular level of our bodies much quicker. Less energy is expended in assimilating it because our bodies aren't trying to separate the juice from fiber (which is not absorbed by the whole body but expelled as waste).

   Freshly squeezed juice from vegetables is a super food. It is the most important part of a nutrient-dense, living, food pyramid. Juice from a cartoon, bottle, or can, however, is processed, heated, and stored, which depletes the vitamins and enzymes content. Bottled and canned juice that is 100 percent juice isn't particularly bad for you, but if pasteurized it is completely dead and doesn't  have anywhere near the great benefit of freshly extracted juices. Any beverages that contain 10 percent or less juice (with the rest being water or sweetener) falls into the dead, dead, dead. Not even natural flavoring gives these drinks any redeeming healthy value.   

DEAD FOOD

Dead food;

* Is food that has had most of the enzymes destroyed and many of the nutrients processed, cooked, and packaged out of it.

* Contains refined flour and added sugar, which may actually suck stored vitamins from your body as your system tries to metabolize them.

* Comes from dead animals (Any food that is absent of the enzymes your body needs to help you properly digest and metabolize food, is dead food

     THE RESULT OF COOKING FOOD ABOVE 107 ^oF

* Most enzymes are destroy.

* Proteins are denatured.

* Fried oils generate trans fatty acids, thus becoming carcinogenic.

* Carbohydrates (sugars) are caramelize. 

* Vitamins and minerals are less available.

* Water is reduced.

      THE ULTIMATE RESULTS OF EATING DEAD FOOD

* Slower metabolic function

* Digestion problems.

* Constipation.

* Formation of diseases.

* Low vitality.

* Loss of quality of life.

* Loss of spiritual and mental clarity

* Early death

     DEAD FOODS YOU SHOULD AVOID

* All animal flesh foods.

* Dairy products.

* Refined table salts.

* Sugar.

* White flour.

* Alcohol.

* Nicotine.

* Caffeine.

    The bottom line is that; Everything you put into your body is either cell-building material or cell-destroying material. If you put live material into it, it will sustain life and by now i think you already know what happens otherwise.

OVERDRAWING OUR ACCOUNT

If we keep drawing on our metabolic enzymes to make our digestive enzymes ( because we are eating only dead, cooked foods), then this is the result. Our bank account of metabolic enzymes will decrease  and our bodies will eventually become weaker and weaker.

     Over the years diets have changed tremendously from eating mainly whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables to eating excessive amounts of cooked meats, cheese, eggs, dairy, processed foods and sugar. As a result, diseases has flourished.

     Modern food processors have stripped our food of much of its remaining nutrients and destroyed the enzymes. 

    Dr. Weston price, a dentist who studied native cultures in the early 1900s. In is research around the world he showed that when refined, processed, cooked foods were introduced into various cultures, the peoples health start to deteriorated rapidily... usually within only one generation. He noted that tooth decay and degenarative diseases such as heart diseases, diabetes, arthritis and cancer increased at a level comparable to modern industrialized nations. However, when tribes and cultures remained on their native diet, they did not develop these diseases.

    The key to good health is to stay close to Nature.

THE IMPORTANT OF RAW FOODS

Dr. Paul at the institute of clinical chemistry found that eating food heated at low temperature or uncooked raw food did not cause a reaction in the blood. That is, did not create a rise in the number of white blood cells.

   He found that foods that has been refined, homogenized, pasteurized or preserved cause the greatest increase in white blood cells. Another interesting thing he discovered was that if a person ate (at the same time) the same amount of raw food as cooked food, the pathological reaction in the blood was minimal. This meant that raw food counteracted the problem caused by the overcooked food.

    The more food you eat raw, the better.

* We should eat as many raw foods as possible

* We should limit how often we eat over cooked foods

* We should limit how often we eat commercially processed foods.

     In other words, balance your food intake. Whenever you eat overcooked food (pizza is one of them, it is cooked at high temperatures), be sure you allow your body to fully process the food out of your body by eating healthy, raw foods for a day or so.

      Be Smart

Don't stress your body by eating foods that spikes your white blood cells. Eat as much food that you can that does not cause your white blood cells to overworked. Enjoy your food, but don't continually eat food that can harm your body. Give your digestive system a chance to rest once in a while by eating more raw food like fruits and vegetables.

    

OVERCOOKED FOOD

Overcooking of your food can kill it. Dr. Nancy Appleton PHD. Tell us that the more food is cooked, the more difficult it becomes to digest and metabolize. She says that the higher the temperature that food is cooked, the longer it stays in our gut and the more difficult it becomes for our digestive mechanism to digest it. Dr. Edward Howell is also another researcher and he devoted nearly his entire life in researching enzymes. He found that when food is cooked at temperature exceeding 118 degrees for thirty minutes, almost all the enzymes in the food are destroyed. These enzymes are the living parts of the food. Our bodies are forced to draw upon our metabolic enzymes.... the raw materials that rebuilds our bodies when our food is cooked until the enzymes  have been lost. As a result of consuming food that lacks enzymes, we start to degenerate which can lead to heart diseases, hypertension, arthritis, trauma or infection, immune problems that may lead to cancer.

       OVERCOOKED FOOD CHANGES ITS CHEMISTRY

Francis pottenger found that every food has a temperature point at which every food changes its chemical configuration. Pasteurization, deep frying and high heat barbecuing are all forms of cooking where foods is heated past this heat point. He said that when this happens our body does not have the enzymes to digest the food easily. When our food does not digest properly several things happen.

1. It sits in our gut and starts to become toxic

2. Candida and other pathogens start to grow

3. The cells on the linning of the gastrointestinal tract began to enlage

4. Then, the putrefied, undigested or partially digested food slips into the blood stream. This is called the leaky gut syndrome or gut permeability.

    When this larger undigested or partially digested food gets into our blood stream, they are called free radicals, which leads to diseases and rapid aging.

    Our immune system comes to our aid. When these free radicals began multiplying, our immune system jumps into action. It starts making these undigested particled back into substances that our body can use or simply escorts them out of our body. In other words, our immune system is asked to do the job that our digestive system did not do.

   But our immune system was not designed to do this on a daily basis. So it becomes overwhelmed and the door is opened to infectious and degenerative diseases.
