Essential Nutrients:
Live
foods (raw fresh fruits and vegetables) have the highest
nutritional value and are the most easily assumable therefore we need less
to satisfy our nutritional needs to maintain and restore our bodies which
results in a loss of excess calories and weight.
Easily Digested:
Live foods are easily
digested. (24-36 hours compared to 40-100 hours for cooked foods)
Enzymes: Live foods contain live enzymes which
are necessary for every body process including digestion. Heating our
foods above 118-120 degrees while cooking destroys these enzymes turning
live food into dead food.
Easier to Prepare:
Live foods are much easier
to prepare which results in less time spent in the kitchen. With all
life's demands, this leaves more available time to be spent with our
families and living for the Lord.
More Energy: A live food diet will not leave
you with a tired feeling after a meal. Most people have a tendency towards
becoming sleepy and drowsy after a cooked meal. A more restful sleep is
achieved on live foods resulting in less sleep required.
Easy clean up:
With live foods it is much
easier to clean up after each meal: no sticky, greasy pans or messy
stoves.
Normal Weight:
On a live food diet the body is
able to achieve a normal weight and will obtain a consistent weight
year-in and year-out.
Does Not Support Degenerative Diseases:
Live
foods don’t cause or support degenerative diseases.
Lower Pulse Rate:
On live foods, the pulse rate
will drop up to 10 beats per minute or more , saving the heart over 14,000
beats each day.
Eliminate Body Odor:
On a live food diet you
will experience the elimination of body odor and halitosis.
Clean Teeth: On live foods one will have clean
teeth. The teeth will not have the collection of tartar that accumulates
with cooked foods.
Clearer Mind:
On live foods, the mind (memory,
concentration, discerning the Holy Spirit) will be clearer.
Helps Eliminate Over-Eating:
It is much easier
not to overeat on live foods. Cooked foods are concentrated (one would
usually eat 3 cooked carrots compared to every one raw carrot). Live foods
give more nourishment so one doesn’t need to consume as much.
No Need for Spices:
Spices are not necessary to
make live foods tastier. Cooking causes a loss of nutrients as well as
flavor.
Less Drinking Water Required:
Less drinking
water is required on a live food diet, because the natural distilled water
in the fruits and vegetables has not been lost while cooking.
No Phlegm: Eating live foods does not cause a
mucous laden throat or head. Public speakers and singers will especially
appreciate not having to frequently clear phlegm from their throats.
Eliminates Being a Slave to Appetite:
Cooked
foods bind us in its shackles. As long as we habitually eat cooked foods,
our tendencies for unhealthy foods are continually aroused. Eating live
foods long enough will eventually break this hold and will free us from
being slaves to appetite.
