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.   

THE DILEMMA OF DEAD FOOD!

Dead food are packed and processed with chemicals and preservatives. You can eat food that is organic everyday, but most of it is cooked on high heat then it is void of nutrition. When you add up everything you put in your mouth, from baked, boiled, broiled, and fried, you may find out you are eating a majority of "dead food".

    Your bodies must be built with strong materials since your body virtually is being remade every year, it needs to be reconstructed with vibrant powerful cells that can resist diseases. You are what you digest and absorb. That is why people everywhere need to eat living food- fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nuts and seeds that will have their enzymes in them. Atleast half of your food should be living raw foods or lightly steamed or stir fried.

      ENZYMES

        Enzymes often hold the key to better health. They are considered the "missing link" in health rebuilding. In your body, each and every element is vital for smooth running efficiency. Enzymes are tiny elements that may even be more valuable to body health than other nutrients.

       Enzymes enter into digestive functions.

* Help transform raw materials into body cells

* Store glycogen in the liver and mscles

* Change carbohydrates into fats

* Then transform protein into sugar and fats

* They work to help to dispose the waste products of digestion.

* Enter into just every activity to help maintain life processes.Without enzymes life would cease.

   Every cell of the body has 1000 enzymes. Every moment, throughout your body, about two millions biochemical reactions take place that require the use of enzymes for motility. A deficiency of any enzyme can create nutritional upheaval to weaken and break the chain of interrelated health.

   Specially, enzymes are body catalysts, that is, they speed up a biochemical reaction that would otherwise proceed at a much slower rate, if it would proceed at all.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING ENOUGH

  Nature has placed enzymes in raw food but most foods are cooked . Therefore, when the temperature of cooking water or heat reaches over 40 degree, the enzymes are destroy. It is wise to eat as many raw fruit and vegetables as possible so as to obtain an adequate amount of enzymes. Many people do not eat enough raw foods and thus enzymes deficit.
