The Benefits of Living Food

Eating predominantly cooked food puts a tremendous strain on your body.

The Role of Enzymes In Our Body:

They are in the cells of every living plant and animal.

The enzyme activity accomplishes all biological work from blinking an eye, to lifting a finger, to having a thought, to fight a disease, or to digest our food.

When eating raw food: all the enzymes you need are right there in the food itself, ready to go to work for you.No food coma.

If the food is cooked beyond 118 ° F, however, these naturally occurring enzymes are killed by heat, and your body must manufacture its own digestive enzymes to do the job?

When your body is busy digesting food, it is unable to divert the necessary energy to make the type of enzymes needed to do other tasks, like cleansing, healing, and building.

Without an adequate supply of metabolic enzymes your health declines, which is called aging: Disease • Indigestion • Constipation • Age spots • Fatigue • Lethargy • Wrinkles • Bad skin • Declining Eyesight • Poor memory • Mood swings • Irritability • Allergies • Brain fog • Candida • Hypoglycemia • Tumors and Cysts • Irritable Bowel Syndrome • Sinusitis • Fibromyalgia • Depression.

Deranged molecules in the food can break down into new toxic substances, many of which are carcinogenic (grilling, frying) Cooking the water out of foods leaves only inferior fiber, that has lost its cleansing properties After eating nutrient-depleted food our body is still ôhungryö for more food because we need more nutrients Cooked food, or highly refined, pasteurized, or processed food increases our white blood cells (the bodyÆs normal response to viruses, infections, stresses, or other toxic invasions)
