Raw, Living Food Is More Than Nuts and Seeds!

Raw, living food is not about eating tons of nuts and seeds. Actually, I prefer eating freshly grown green sprouts and vegetables. Ask yourself how much greens and sprouts you consume daily compared to processed foods. I am not talking about eating a bowl of iceberg lettuce with some shredded carrots or sliced cucumbers. Our western way of eating relies heavily on processed food and unfortunately, they are unhealthy.  They do not contain any live enzymes that our bodies require. Our bodies are living machines; therefore, we need live foods. People discount living food based on the notion of eating heavy dose of nuts and seeds. Yes, we do eat nuts and seeds, but I eat them differently and only 5 % to 10 % of my diet consist of eating them.
Instead of focusing on greens or nuts and seeds, one must find a personalized balance between each food type. When one finds the true balance by incorporating sprouted greens, vegetables, nuts and seeds in a proper methods, one finds the success to maintain body and mind.

Benefits Of Eating Raw, Living Food

Fresh fruits and vegetables

When you cook food above 115 degrees, the food enzymes which are protein compounds that we need to perform nearly every bodily function, including digestion, is destroyed. The reserved enzymes in your body need to come to aid in the digestive process; therefore, causing your body to work harder to digest and absorb nutrients. When you eat raw or living food, you are helping your body to work less to digest and allowing the enzymes to do other important activities, like repairing and cleansing. Remember, the older we get, the less enzymes there are in our body.
Also, when you eat raw, you are consuming the full nutritional value the food has to offer, whereas cooked foods lose some of its nutritional value.

A raw food diet rejuvenates the body both physically and mentally. You feel and look younger and healthier. You also become happier and have a more positive outlook on life. Eating raw has so many benefits, ranging from clearing the digestive tract to helping people shed some unwanted pounds.

Mighty Sprouts!!

Sprouts! They are so small and tiny, but they are a mighty super food.  Why are they a mighty super food? 
A dormant seed stores its nutrients inside its coat (inhibitor). Given right temperature, water, and air, the seed lets go of the coat and starts to release its own nutrients and energy to grow.  When you consume sprouts, you are consuming nutrients at the highest peak it can provide for you.  You can sprout any type of unprocessed seeds, nuts, beans, and grains.
Sprouting at home is economical and affortable.  Buying 4oz. of alfalfa costs $4.99 at the store.  You can grow 16oz. of jar full of alfalfa with 2 tablespoons of seeds.
I teach how to sprout in the Level 1 Part 1 Living Food class.  Come and learn how to sprout.  The Living Food classes will help you to incorporate living food in your life step by step.

To Find that "PERFECT" Pair of Jeans......

I don't know about you, but I don't enjoy clothes shopping very much. It is a huge, time consuming activity, and my nose and eyes get itchy due to the dust and perfume in the stores. Usually, when I need new apparel, I make the shopping experience as quick as possible. However, when I need a pair of jeans, I am at the store for a long time. A pair of jeans can make you look "good" or "bad". Of course, the clothing companies do not make choosing a pair of jeans easy; so many different cuts, bottoms, colors, sparkles, pockets, length, or desiger names get me all confused. So, I do spend extra time to look for that perfect pair of jeans that would make me look like I have longer legs, up-lifted rear-end, and flatter tummy.

Now, you might be asking yourself why is Na talking about a pair of jeans? My question to you is; "Do you take the time to find that "nutritious food" for your body?" When we buy our clothes, we look at the size, color, decoration, length, and even consider to find the matching shoes and jewerly. We should apply the clothing shopping process to shopping for food. Food is more than just filling your stomach. Food is your energy and life source. Dr. Oz said, "Food is not just something you pull off a shelf - it has a life force to it."
To find that "nutritious food" for your body, it will take some time to research and learn, but once you know where and what your body needs you won't have to take as much time.
