You Are What You Eat.

You are what you eat. I’ve heard that from countless health professionals and even my own mother. Do you believe that or not? These words exist in every culture but what do they mean?

As I trained to be a raw chef I came to understand that food either supports you or takes away your life. In ancient texts food was referred to as one path to enlightenment. Depending on what you ate, you were either supported energetically or not. When we arrive on the planet we have a very high vibration. We are innocent in the fact that we haven’t been exposed to environmental or emotional toxins yet. Think about a baby and you’ll see what I mean. As time passes, our environment lowers that vibration.

There are high vibration foods and low vibration foods. Foods with lots of toxins and foods with less toxins. One supports us and the other will kill us.  Read more...

Raw Food Is A Powerful Way To Detoxify

Eating a raw food diet is a powerful way to detoxify and cleanse your body of all the waste that you have accumulated from years of eating processed foods. A diet rich in raw foods can put you on the path toward greater energy, clearer skin, a slimmer figure, and health. But making the transition too quickly can have negative effects on the body. This is a great way to detox but it doesn’t happen all at once but it is a very effective way to detox over time.

Raw food provides maximum nutrition with minimum calories. Raw foodists do not cook using a traditional stove or oven. They use food dehydrators that give vegetables and cookies a good crunch.

Raw foods include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts, grains and legumes in sprouted form, seaweed, spirulina, chlorella, and fresh juices. These live foods contain a wide range of vital life force nutrients. Eating raw doesn’t have to be boring. A wealth of delicious recipes are now available.  Read more...
