Simplicity can be
easily be found in food, however complex our
grocery stores, restaurants, food
advertisements, and kitchens have become.
All we need to do is look back to nature. We
remind ourselves where we and our food came
from, and it wasn't a brightly colored,
shrink-wrapped container.
Nature has
provided humans and animals life as long as
we've been here: before fire, farms, and
factories. In it's raw form, food is more
nutritious and life-giving than, obviously,
its processed and cooked counterpart.
Why eat Live Food? Because
of the laws of nature that say:
*
Things produce after their own kind;
*
From Life only can Life be created;
* We
are what we eat
The concept
is simple.
Live food creates
a live body, dead food creates a dead body.
Our bodies were designed to be fueled by
live, organic foods. They are rich in
nutrients, enzymes and life energy. When
cooked, processed or altered in other ways,
food nutrients, enzymes and constituents
become damaged and our bodies no longer can
utilized the life force food has to offer;
instead, our bodies have to work harder to
digest them. Void of digestive enzymes, our
bodies steal metabolic enzymes just to get
the food through. And a lot of it never
makes it's way out. There it sits heavy,
toxic, and begins to degenerate our life
vitality.
Today's World
In essence, there is nothing more simple
than going out in nature and picking a
nutrient-rich, edible plant, consuming it,
and being vitally nourished by it. However,
in our current civilization, our simple
pursuits may not be so quick to actualize.
Concrete pastures; forests of buildings;
toxic land, air, and water; little land or
time to garden and prepare food leaves us
with our simple hungry mouths wide open for
a box of whatever-it-is we eat. And then, of
course, there is the issue of what we are
used to and what is 'normal'.
To Start
If you are
remotely interested in health, nutrition
and/or eating Live Food, please visit some
of the resources on my website to learn
more. I encourage you to start simple, even
if it is adding a salad a day to your diet.
(This is one of the BEST ways to transition
to Raw/Live Food). Understand the facts
(which is much too involved for the
simplicity sake of my site). Educate
yourself. David Wolfe's "SunFood
Diet Success System"
is an excellent book on how to successfully
enter a Live Food lifestyle. In addition,
buy a good recipe book, like "Raw
Food, Real World".
These two books were my first experiences
with this new diet.
Preparing and
eating live food can be as fun and complex
as you make it. You can still have your
ice-cream, pizza, burgers, chocolate, chips
and more. I've found it is fun and delicious
to make these treats. In fact, I am loving
the taste of my food more now than I ever
have. Honestly. However, in the pursuit of
simplicity, when I feel overwhelmed with the
process, I simplify (again), and grab a
piece of fruit, kale, or nuts. Yeah, I
learned to like that which I thought would
never enter my mouth - kale.
