People are exposed to chemicals in much
greater concentrations than in previous generations with
over three thousand chemicals added to foods and drinking
water. The current level of chemicals in the food and water
supply has lowered our threshold of resistance to disease
and altered the body’s metabolism, causing enzyme
dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies and hormonal
imbalances. This toxicity makes the body acidic and to
restore health we must restore alkalinity. Fried foods,
processed foods, and foods with chemicals, colors, additives
and preservatives cause major acidity and toxicity.
Toxicity
and deficiency cause all types of diseases and people are
trying to fix their problems by taking drugs. Drugs create more
toxicity and acidity in the body which creates more health
problems. Drugs treat symptoms; they never “heal”
anything. True
healing comes from detoxifying and nourishing the body.
Detoxification
is a way to clear potential acute and chronic disease and to
heal many early or later stage conditions. The future of
health care must have at its very core the requirement of
detoxification. The best way to detox is by eating fresh,
organic raw fruits and vegetables and living (sprouted)
foods. These special foods provide clean burning fuel, and
detoxify the body simultaneously.
Are
you eating real food or fake food? Food that is
processed and filled with preservatives, chemicals,
additives and dyes is not real food. Fresh organic raw
fruits and vegetables and sprouted living foods are real and
really nutritious. Organic food is the only food that is
grown without chemicals and not sprayed with chemicals. This
is so important because chemical toxicity is a leading cause
of disease.
Heating
food to over 105 degrees destroys the enzymes, vitamins and
minerals that are intended to nourish the body. Every time
you eat cooked food you are filling your body with
denatured, dead food.
This produces disease and ultimately death of the
cells, organs, tissues and glands.
When
I was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer in 1999 the
doctors wanted me to do surgery, chemotherapy and radiation,
but I refused. Instead I turned to the Living Foods
Lifestyle and in less than six months I was completely
cancer free and never had any symptoms of allergies,
migraine headaches, arthritis, depression, chronic fatigue,
eczema, acid reflux, indigestion, hot flashes or heartburn
again. My doctor was amazed and all this came from eating
real organic raw and living food!
You
don’t have to be a gourmet chef to prepare quick, easy
complete salads or smoothies. If you’ve put on extra pounds
eating fried foods, milk, cheese, eggs, fatty meats, bread,
pasta, candy, cookies, and cakes, you can easily take off
those extra pounds by eating organic raw and living foods.
You can accomplish several things at once. Think of it as
“multi-tasking health”. You can detoxify, lose weight, gain
more energy, heal disease, clear up your skin, add luster to
your hair, grow stronger nails and energize yourself.
Here’s
a recipe that can be eaten as a salad or blended in the
Vita-Mix to a nutritious smoothie. Either way, you’ll get
plenty of real nutrition and all the benefits that go with
it!
