The Importance Of Eating Raw

Eating raw will deliver many of the same benefits as going alkaline, such as a higher energy level and improved health conditions. Eating raw also delivers another jolt of life force to your food. The dominant thought behind raw foods is that they are living foods, as opposed to dead foods, which have had the nutrition cooked out of them. Cooked foods can lose up to 85% of the nutrients you otherwise would have received.

The Importance Of Eating Alkaline-Based Foods

According to the Science of Dr. Robert Young author of "The pH Miracle”, the pH level of the body must be higher alkaline to ensure optimal health. Studies show that an alkaline body can help to prevent serious health problems, such as: Obesity, Diabetes, Asthma, High-Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Heart Disease and more.

Chef Sal shares his philosophy of staying energized and keeping young through a lifestyle of healthy living through exercise, diet and a positive outlook.

Exactly who am I, and what's in this book for you?

I am a chef. It is my passion...it is what I love. I am not a doctor, a dietician, a nutritionist, or a scientist. I am a human being that has experienced the results on my body of a variety of different foods and diets over my lifetime. Through the different phases of my life, I have come to appreciate the feeling of extreme well being when I ingest a diet of raw, alkaline forming foods. I combine my diet regimen with an exercise routine that works best for me; I am happy to be in this space and time.
In undertaking a raw alkaline food regimen, I have found a new, healthy awakening in myself. I am revitalized; I feel younger than I did many years ago. My understanding of-and partaking in-raw alkaline fitness foods has provided me with the insight to draw on my 50 years of creating fine dining cuisine into conceiving the most delicious raw, alkaline based meals through which everyone may enjoy and live well.
