Everyone knows fruits and vegetables are healthy for your body, but do you know why? Fruits and vegetables are considered a live whole food when they are uncooked, and live whole foods are an important part of our diets that we may be missing. This article has some information on live whole foods and why they are important.
Live whole foods are uncooked or unheated - raw and living plant-based foods. Which may include beans, fresh juices, nuts, seeds, sprouts, fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes, etc. These raw live whole foods contain a broad range of live enzymes and crucial life force nutrients - vitamins, amino acids, minerals, etc.
Many who have been on a raw live food diet have seen great health improvements from eating this way. They have said to have superior mental alertness, energy levels, superior digestion and skin appearance. Weight loss has also been said could result in eating live whole foods.
By this time you may be a little more curious as to what eating live whole foods can do for you, and how safe it would be to go on an all raw food diet.
As with any diet you should consult your doctor first. However in my opinion it just wouldn't seem healthy to eat all raw foods all the time. It seems that by eating all live foods you'd be missing some vitamins and minerals you may only get from other foods like dairy. Although, a diet composed mostly of live whole foods is one of the healthiest approaches to eating because of how rich in nutrients the foods are!
By far one of the best ways to approach any diet is balancing. A healthy well balanced diet with raw foods as your main source of nourishment with plenty of variety seems like your best bet. Try to stay away from processed foods, and go for organic if at all possible.
For most of us, it isn't feasible to be eating a diet composed of all organic live whole foods due to our busy schedules, budget, and fast paced lifestyle. However I do believe that if we include more living foods into our diets, we will feel healthier, more energized, and ready to take on the world! Cutting back on processed foods and replacing them with more fruits and vegetables will greatly increase our general health and nutrition.
To me there is nothing wrong with eating live whole foods, just as long as you are eating a well balanced diet. Organic is always the best way to eat anything because you aren't putting a bunch of chemicals into your body that don't nourish it, but if you eat as much organic as possible then that's also good too.
Find out more on this subject and do plenty of research, then decide what is best for you and your family. The decision is up to you.
