3:42 AM - Did you know eating raw foods increases your energy?
The more
raw foods you consume equals to more energy
you will receive on a daily basis. There are a few reasons for
gaining more energy and stamina with
organic food; one is that your body
doesn`t have to spend as much energy digesting your food.
Raw foods contain enzymes, and these enzymes
help your body break down food. One advantage to eating raw is that
it brings nature's intentions into focus. When speaking of eating
raw, we are referring to fruit, nuts, and vegetables, which taste
good to the majority of humankind in their basic simplicity direct
from tree, bush or vine. Raw foods are also better quality
therefore you eat less to satisfy your nutritional needs.
Cardiovascular endurance improved for 67 percent of
respondents. A dramatic increase in energy levels were reported
since transitioning to
organic food
, specifically 31 percent to 88 percent of the respondents
who said they had "good" or "excellent" energy levels.
Cooked foods act malignantly by exhausting your bodily
energies, inhibiting your healing, and decreasing your alertness,
efficiency and productivity. The heat of cooking depletes vitamins,
damages proteins and fats and destroys enzymes which benefit
digestion. As your percentage of raw food increases you feel
satisfied and have more energy on smaller meals because raw food
has the best balance of water, nutrients and fiber to meet your
body's needs.
Raw foods are easily digested, requiring only 24-36 hours for
transit time through the digestive tract, as compared to 40-100
hours for cooked foods. This unnatural transit time increases the
threat of putrefaction and disease. When you eat cooked
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, you are eating numerous
mutagenic (carcinogenic) products causes by the cooking process.
Dr. Karl Elmer experimented with top athletes in Germany, producing
improvement in their performance by changing to a purely raw food
diet. Dr Douglas Graham, achieved similar results with athletes he
trained.
Raw foods provide you with more strength,
energy and stamina.
On raw foods, the mind (memory and power of concentration)
will be clear. You will be more alert, think sharper and more
logically. Raw foods are light and will not leave you with a tired
feeling after the meal. There is a tendency toward sleepiness after
a cooked meal. Raw foods require less total sleep, and achieve a
more restful sleep. Therefore, don't waste your food, yourself, and
our planet by cooking what you eat. Fruits, nuts, vegetables, and
whole wheat are fresh, raw and giving you the natural energy and a
healthier diet.
