Eating Live Foods

Being a lady, I occasionally associated being slim with fashion and being the in-thing. I would therefore take action to aim at being slim but not necessary healthy. For example, I took some herbal supplements in an attempt to cut down weight. I indeed lost about 3 kilos in two weeks but my! OOOOh my! When I got a good reason to discontinue taking the supplements, my weight was back plus 5 kilos.I also enrolled with gyms.

I would exercise, lost a bit of weight at quite a slow rate I was eating during the exercise period, was aging my body in the process. At times during the exercise I would feel totally exhausted instead of re-energized. I also did a body wrap where I lost a couple of kilos within 2 weeks but it came back plus within a month.

My effort to cut down weight was a yoo - yoo (on and off) dependent on what would awaken my weight consciousness. Heck, Today I watch as men and women on the same struggle and the reason to share my experience.

I started to eat live food. The difference between live foods and dead foods is like light and darkness. When we cook food above 180C, the most of the enzymes and medicinal value dies. In vegetable 80% of the nutritional values may die drastically affecting the minerals and vitamins.The food is then compromised in that instead of giving you energy, it instead steals energy from you.Thus, when I serve food I put at least 50% being vegetable salads dressed with salad seasoning and cold pressed sunflower oil.

The meal would be 25% shallow cooked vegetables and the other 25% being whole grain meals like brown rice or tubers like arrowroots. Live foods give energy to the body to cleanse, rebuild and rejuvenate itself. You therefore loose weight and rejuvenate the cells making you look younger by the day.
