100% Raw or Not?
Psychologists have found that in any situation 5% will go to the extreme, and 95% won’t. In Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, they had only to separate 5% of the men (the gang-leaders) and the rest would never try to escape.
The 5% are teachers and leaders. The rest of us are the students, happy to learn from and be inspired by a good teacher. Of course you can be a teacher in one world and a student in another.
Once you experience raw foods are healthiest, then it’s likely you’ll join the 95% of raw-foodists who eat a little cooked fo ... read more RAW Improves Diabetes 19 y

How a Raw Food Diet has Helped My Diabetes
by Cyrus Khambatta
Monday, 13 June 2005
There are two things in life that aggravate me more than being attached to an insulin pump. The first is watching my body atrophy during periods of physical injury, and the second is listening to a doctor rattle tales of a future replete with diabetic health complications. For me these three are one in the same. They are all characteristics of a life that I don’t want to live. They represent a loss of freedom and place upon me mental and physical limitations.

Some Like It Raw: Why Switch to a Living Foods Diet?
By Michael Klein
Living foods are the key to our health and longevity. They allow our bodies to perform as they were meant to. Our bodies have evolved over a four million year period. For 3,950,000 of those years we ate only raw, living foods. It is only recently that we have begun eating cooked food. When we look at other mammals in nature, we do not see any significant incidence of the diseases that have become pervasive in humans. No cancer, heart disease, strokes or diabetes.

Get your enzymes!
One of the best ways to improve the appearance of your skin is by incorporating raw food into your diet. Beautiful skin starts from the inside out. People who switch to eating mostly raw food often see an improvement in their skin and look younger.
Heating food above 105 degrees Fahrenheit destroys the enzymes as well as 50% of the protein and 70-90% of the vitamins and minerals. Eating cooked food overtaxes the body’s enzyme reserves. Eating more raw food decreases the amount of digestive enzy ... read more ~ Exotic Fruits ~ 19 y

The Journey into RAW (an introduction to raw food)
When Neil Armstrong was a little boy he used to have the dreamlike sensation that he was floating. When I was young I used to feel that I could be happy, healthy, radiant, eat whatever I enjoyed, and not have to think about my weight.
Now 20 years later, like Neil Armstrong, I have achieved my goal. I am able to eat by the bushel things I previously had believed were fattening no-no’s in large amounts - nuts, avocados, dates, along with lots of fruit and salads with oily dressings. The one stipulation ... read more Raw vs Cooked: Enzymes 19 y

Raw Foodism
by Joe Alexander
There are dozens and hundreds and thousands of diets, diet books and diet experts in the world today. Most people live on an omnivorous diet – that is, anything that it is possible to chew up and swallow and live long enough to tell about it, they will eat. But for one reason or another, many people have decided to adopt some restrictions.
Sometimes the reason is one’s alignment with a religious tradition. For instance, some people won’t drink wine or eat pork, or eat meat on Fridays, or they won’t eat unleavened bread on c ... read more Living Foods 19 y

What are live foods?

Live foods are foods that still have the vitality of the plants and soil that produced them. All of the enzymes, minerals, vitamins, nutrients, and life-giving energies of the food are still intact. If you take any unbroken seeds from the ingredients in a live foods dish, they are still viable. Under the proper conditions, they will grow into a new plant. They are alive - and you are consuming them so that you, too, will alive and vital. This is why they’re called live foods.

Is a raw food diet really the key to health, happiness and a long life?

I was recently invited to dinner by my new neighbors, Douglas and Marcia. After assuring me that the menu would accord with my vegan principles, they proceeded to dish up the most delicious – and unusual – meal to pass my lips in a very long time.
For openers, they served a delectable chilled watercress soup. It was creamy and flavorsome, and I can taste it still. Then came the main attraction, a mock meat-loaf, made of a gorgeous mixture of p ... read more Are you healthy? 19 y

My cousin thought her father was healthy, and when he suddenly died of a heart attack, she was shocked. ”But Roe, he stopped eating a lot of red meat, and he took his blood pressure and medicine regularly.”
Meeting a friend from high school I inquired about her dad. ”Oh,” she said, ”my dad is still the same, you remember, he never gets sick. He’s 68 now and is still really healthy.” But when I asked why he was living with her she said matter-of-factly, ”Well, ... read more Chia Seeds 19 y

Chia Seed - The Ancient Food of the Future

In the last twenty five years, there has been a resurrection in the definition of medicine, a resurrection that amplifies the significance of our eating habits and our lifestyle. Medicine is not only defined as a treatment for illness and disease, it is now understood to be for the prevention of illness and disease. That would mean, for example, laughter is a medicine because research found it to boost the immune system. Exercise is good medicine for its cardio-vascular stimulation, muscle t ... read more |
