Energy Tip - Why Eat More Raw Foods?

Image via WikipediaYeah. So Why Should I Eat More Raw Foods?

Because cooking takes so many nutrients and vitamins OUT of food, you automatically start feeding your body what it needs when you reduce the cooked foods and start eating more uncooked, nutrient-rich foods. A raw carrot has exponentially more nutrition than a cooked carrot. Therefore more “ENERGY” to you.

Cooking also alters the chemistry of foods, often making them harder to digest. Why do we have so many digestive problems in this country? Because we’re putting foods into our bodies in a form that we weren’t designed to absorb.

High fiber, high water content, fresh produce abolishes constipation of the bowels, cells and circulatory system. Obstructions are cleared and blood flow increases to each and every cell in the body.

Enhanced blood flow is significant for two reasons: as mentioned above, 1 - blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to living cells, and 2 - carries away their toxic metabolites. (the residues of metabolism)

Obesity is endemic in this country. The diet industry is more profitable than the oil companies. Why? Because the way we eat and prepare our food practically guarantees that we’ll overeat.

Psychologists tell us that we overeat because our souls are hungry. But in reality, our bodies are hungry, even though we may feel full. When you start giving your body the nutrients it craves, overeating will cease, and watch your energy soar.

Eating raw foods is a boost to your metabolism as well. It takes little energy to digest raw foods, and it’s a healthy process.

Rather than spending energy to rid itself of toxins produced by cooking food, the body uses its energy to feed every cell, sending vitamins, fluids, enzymes and oxygen to make your body the efficient machine it was intended to be.

Hence abundant energy reserves are saved for you to use in other ways . . . like living fully and passionately every day!

You’ll naturally stop overeating, because your body and brain will no longer be starving for the nutrients they need. A starving brain will trigger the thoughts that make you overeat. The brain and the rest of your body don’t need quantity; they need quality.

So, the moral of this story is this, increase your intake of living, water and nutrient rich foods and your energy abundance will amaze you!
