Living Foods

Everyone can benefit from a healthy lifestyle. The Living Foods diet is a lifestyle change that will allow you to literally eat and drink your way to optimum health! This Lifestyle has helped many people feel well for the first time in their lives. If you are sick, tired, overweight or just want to feel better than you do right now, this way of eating can be the answer that you’ve been searching for.

Living Foods are plant-based foods in their original, un-heated, uncooked, and unprocessed state. They include fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, sprouted nuts, seeds, grains and legumes, seaweed, and fresh vegetable juices, raw carob powder, cold pressed olive oil, and certain spices and seasonings. These Living Foods contain a wide range of vital nutrients and live enzymes, which are essential to the proper maintenance of human bodily functions.

It is highly recommended that your Living Foods Lifestyle include mainly organically grown produce. The commercially grown produce you find in your local supermarket is grown with pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, and other chemicals that are toxic and/or harmful to your body. Rinsing commercially grown produce with cool water will remove some surface pesticide residue, but not the pesticide that was absorbed into the produce as it was grown. Organic foods are grown without the use of these harmful substances, taste better, and are more nutritious because they are either locally grown or are shipped in a way that ensures their freshness.

The benefits of the Living Food Lifestyle are boundless. Living Foods are easy to digest, and they provide the maximum amount of energy with minimal bodily effort. Studies have shown that Living Foods have healing powers that can alleviate many illnesses such

as low energy, serious allergies, digestive disorders, weak immune systems, high cholesterol, candida, and weight problems. Research and real life experiences have shown that, by consuming a mostly Living Foods diet, a person can prevent the body's healthy cells from turning into malignant cancerous cells, and build a sturdier immune system that better resists and recovers from disease.

Illness, disease and low energy are in the main caused by toxins and deficiencies of the body. Toxins enter our bodies from the food we eat, the water and other beverages we drink, even the air we breathe. Most deficiencies come from conditions in which the food is not digested. That means that the flow of energy that is needed for the body to function has been blocked. In order to regain health toxins must be removed, deficiencies must be repaired, and the body must be brought back into balance.

Many people have reported healing themselves of diabetes, fibromyalgia, acne, migraines, back pain, neck and joint pain, asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypoglycemia, colitis, diverticulitis, arthritis, depression, anxiety, mood swings, heartburn, gas, bloating, skin diseases, and chronic fatigue by adopting a Living Food Lifestyle. Most people become more in-tune with their body when consuming Living Foods. Many report definite spiritual improvements.

Cooked foods, with the exception of meats and dairy products, have a place in most Living Foods diets, but keep in mind that heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes and removes or lessens much of the nutritional value of the food. Enzymes, essential to the digestion and absorption of food, start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F. If you eat food that is enzyme-less, your body will not get maximum utilization of the food.

The more fresh raw food you eat, the better. It is advisable that 85% or more of your daily consumption of food be Living Foods. Worried about protein? Don’t be! Numerous scientific studies have shown the daily need for protein to be about 25-35 grams per day. Sprouted seeds, beans, and grains get from 10-25% of their calories from protein. Fruits average about 5% of their calories from protein and raw vegetables average a whopping 20-50% of their calories from protein!

If you are eating any variety of Living Foods, you are getting at least 10% of your calories from protein. With a 2,000 calories per day diet that comes out to about 50 grams of protein, more than enough to support optimal well-being. Some people claim that plant protein is not "complete". However, our bodies come with a handy recycling mechanism from proteins and is able to "complete" any amino acid mix from our body’s amino acid pool, no matter what the amino acid composition of a meal consumed.

Adopting a Living Foods Lifestyle is a learning experience that requires patience and listening to the body's needs. Over time, consumption of Living Foods can help your body be more sensitive to what it wants that's good for it (as opposed to one's ego/mind). No more ultra-toxic sugar attacks! And it is by far the Greenest way to eat. Since you cook much less and support organic agriculture, you don't waste electricity and you help to save the environment.

Living Foods can actually turn back the hands of time. People who eat Living Foods have a glow to their skin, a shine to their hair, a sparkle in their eyes, a healthy, fit, body, youthful energy and look younger than their age. Many have reported their hair turning back to its natural color, teeth getting tighter and gums stop bleeding, wrinkles, deep creases and age spots disappearing, dark circles, bags and eye puffiness vanishing, acne and blemishes fading. Feeling healthier, losing weight and healing your body doesn’t take years or months or even weeks with Living Foods. Many people notice changes within days. The Living Food Lifestyle has been one of the greatest miracles in many people’s lives, and has helped many people feel better when nothing else has worked.
