Need More Energy? Get It With Living Food!
With living food losing weight is no longer boring. All you have to do is make sure your plate it full of different vibrant colors.
The more you do this the more you will naturally create healthy and balanced meals.
So what exactly is living food? This is food that is alive, raw and fresh like salads, vegetables and fruits.
Here are some positives of eating this way:
1. There are no preservatives or add colors.
2. Provide a lot of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and trace elements.
3. There is a very high water content so you keep very well hydrated.
4. Very appetizing to look at.
5. Because of the firm textures you have to chew them very well so we eat more slowly and feel more full.
6. The body can easily and quickly process and absorb living food. Much less work for your digestive system.
7. These foods are much safer and have less man made chemicals in them
8. Are just what nature had intended
9. Are a pure energy
For Using Cooked Foods
1. Heat will destroy the nutrients in living food. Sometimes it takes out so much that you might as well be chewing on cardboard as the cardboard has just about as much nutrients as what your eating.
2. When you cook vegetables you tend to turn them soft so that it doesn’t require as much chewing and that means you eat quicker and are less satisfied.
3. If you do cook your veggies, steam them lightly so that they will still keep their crunch.
4. Heat will also destroy the enzymes in living food, and these are essential for your digestion. If you don’t get these enzymes then your body has to get it from it’s own supply and this isn’t good for your body.
5. When you cook food the effectiveness of the fiber is reduced. Veggies that flop and are overcooked will pass right through your body with a much reduced “cleaning” action.
A living food diet along with exercise is also a great way to lose weight. Maybe you have been feeling a little off or you just really need a pick me up and some more energy. If this is you then you need to start eating this way. You will see a huge difference in how you look and feel.
