Nutritionists advise plenty of fresh, raw, fruit and vegetables as essential to well-being but we only obtain the maximum benefits from them when the goodness is released from the fibre.

Healing with Living Foods

Today after decades of declining health and rapid ageing, the promise of living foods is once again gaining international attention simply for their natural properties and energy source.

Living foods are an effective way of helping our bodies heal themselves.

What are Living Foods?

A diet of living foods is not a new idea. Many ancient cultures knew the value of eating uncooked vegetables and fruits and of germinating and sprouting grains, seeds, legumes and nuts. Only a few generations ago, a vegetable garden in the backyard supplied families with organic produce, straight from the earth to the table. However, by the 1950s, the population had become enamored with the supermarket and its canned and processed foods, the promise of chemical preservatives and pesticides, and the lure of fast foods.

These foods do not provide your body with living enzymes and nutrients. A healthy body is a body with healthy enzymes. Enzymes play a decisive role in the digestion of food as they are responsible for the chemical changes which the food undergoes during digestion. These chemical changes comprise the breaking up of the large molecules of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into smaller ones or the conversion of complex substances into simple ones which can be absorbed by the intestines.

The major benefits of a living food diet are that vital enzymes and nutrients remain intact and are able to be utilized by your body.

Living foods are the foundation of any healthy eating program.

Living Foods:

• Improve immunity
• Increase energy
• Cleanse blood
• Promote vitality
• Manage weight
• Nourish the organs
• Detoxify and maintain cellular structure

Although lots of food on the dinner table contain the nutrients needed for good health, our habit of cooking these foods destroys their potential. When food is heated above 118 degrees, enzymes and nutrients are destroyed.

Many people come to a living food from a diet full of meat, dairy, poultry and fish and processed foods. If you are not in a life threatening situation, you can make a steady, unhurried transfer to a living food diet.
