What is Live Food? Live foods are fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds that have not been altered from their natural state. Cooking foods destroys the enzymes (life force) in food along with the vitamins, and changes the food chemically making it harder for your body to digest. Even as a vegan, the average person who consumes mostly cooked foods uses more energy to digest their food than they get back from what they eat. Over time ANY diet consisting primarily of cooked food will lead to enzyme deficiencies causing disease and premature aging. There are many alternative ways to prepare the foods we love that will not destroy all of their valuable nutrients. The Live Foodist can show you how to make all the dishes you love using the most nutritious Live Food ingredients. It is a very exciting experience to learn new innovative preparation methods that will give you the tastes you crave and the fuel your body needs to be healthy and vibrant well into old age.
What Can Live Food Do For You?
Weight Control
When we nourish ourselves with only pure natural foods we maintain our ideal natural weight. If we use live ingredients in our meals we can make decadent delicious hearty meals that will actually make us lose excess body mass. The abundance of enzymes present in Live Food allows your body to break down and eliminate the fat cells stored in your body. You are essentially losing weight by eating delicious satisfying Live Food meals.
Health and Well-Being
The human body is in a constant state of repair from all the stress of daily activity. The more time the body spends on digestion, the less time it can devote to healing tissues and eliminating the accumulation of toxins. If we eat food that is rich in digestive enzymes we can let our body devote the majority of its own enzymes to building new tissues and flushing out toxins. When the body is free of toxicity it is not susceptable to any sickness or disease.
Environmental Benefits
When we consume Live Food we are doing as much for the planet as we are for our body. Almost all of the ingredients in Live Food preparation require no packaging. They are either available in the produce section or are available in bulk. The few items such as honey, raw cacao, raw agave nectar, and any other specialty Live Food items are available in reusable glass containers. This drastically cuts down the amount of waste per household. Also the amount of energy spent on processing and packaging conventional food ingredients is staggering. When one uses natural unprocessed ingredients we are saving an incredible amount of non renewable energy. The amount of energy required for live food preparation is far less than the amount of energy we use to power our ovens and stoves.
