Raw Nutrition: Restore Your Health by Eating Raw and Eating Right

People who consume only processed foods and fail to eat raw fruits and vegetables may be starving themselves and overeating. While this might seem like a contradiction, it's true. More people die in the United States from overeating than from under eating. If you are not eating an enzyme-rich, plant-based diet, your body may be stealing enzymes from your pancreas and heart just to digest the food you are eating. This activity of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" can cause diabetes and heart disease. Eating a green salad daily can make a healthy difference in how you look and how you feel every day. Research confirms that raw plant enzymes reverse aging. In Raw Nutrition readers will learn: o How food addictions are industry inspired and emotionally created o How to overcome these food addictions by reclaiming the power within and recognizing how blocked emotions can lead to weight issues o How, by following a raw vegan diet, most people lose at least 10 pounds (4.5 kg) a month eating all they want No one teaches us what we need to eat every day to achieve optimal health and prevent disease. Eating organic, raw fruits and vegetables eliminates many of the antigens that cause allergic reactions and subsequent disease. This book gives readers an easy-to-remember formula to live healthfully and make the most out of life.
