Raw food temptations

Now I know: I am definitely craving for raw food! That's it! My decision for good. I'll juice twice a day along raw food temptations. I can't help it. :)

I have a big transitional period to face since I will still have detox symptoms (just less worst than doing a juice feasting). I also want to get rid of my caffeine addiction.

So let's talk about raw food. What is really raw food?

I would rather talk about "living foods" which makes more sense since we do dehydrate the food to make it a bit warm. According to Living and Raw food community, living foods are foods that contain enzymes. Enzymes begin to be destroyed at 102° F and are completely destroyed by 126° F. All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.

What are enzymes?
On a basic definition in the dictionary, enzymes are any of the various complex organic substances, as pepsin originating from living cells and capable of producing certain chemical changes in organic substances by catalytic action, as in digestion.

Why enzymes are so important?
Enzymes are important to assist you in the digestion and absorption process. If you eat food that have less enzymes, you will not get maximum utilization of the food and it seems that reason why our body get so much toxicity, which can explain the problem of obesity.

When you know that before the invention of fire, we use to eat this way, it all makes senses. Some peoples will argue that modern way of eating makes us living longer, I will answer that it's not necessary true. Without fibromyalgia, I wouldn't say anything but now, I can honestly say that quality of life is by far more important than anything else. Moreover, if our modern society is technologically more advanced, why are we so much sick? Quality of foods is very important for a healthy body (and mind!).

Why would you want to eat this way?
- For the energy to nag your friends (or to do anything else);
- Better health (didn't get a cold since 3 years just by eating 50% raw food)
- Weight loss (let's say your body reach the weight it should be naturally;
- Detoxification (from toxins in your body that comes from food and environment);
- A stronger immune system that better resists and recovers from just about any kind of disease.

The list can grow more and more. Eating mostly raw and living food is also good for energy efficiency; since you no longer have to cook, you don't waste electricity, and save the environment. No animal products are used, nature appreciates that. ;)
Also, eating organic helps to save the planet (and it's proved you get more nutrients with organic foods).

Have a good day sexy!
