Raw juices and health . some recipes.
Fruit and vegetables contain all the essential minerals and vitamins in easily digestible forms and in forms that our body can easily absorb and use. They act as medicines and help in curing many disorders in a natural way.A diet containing 80 % alkaline and only 20 % acidic food is an ideal one. Unfortunately, most of our foods are acidic in nature. flour, cheese, dairy, meat... Acidic foods increase the pH of the body and, over time, provide an environment that promotes nutritional disorders, lowered immunity and general degradation of healthy tissue. In order to correct this imbalance , it is necessary to consume adequate quantities of ripe fruits and raw vegetables.
Cooking destroys all the nutritive properties in natural foods and turns them into dead and sometimes, poisonous substances. All the useful enzymes in the food are destroyed by heating.
A diet of raw foods gives us vital energy. The human system has been designed to digest raw food and so raw food passes throught he system quickly and efficiently, without fermentation.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices require no work from the body but are directly absorbed and are therefore tolerated by the weakest stomach. They are also quicker to neutralise acidity in bodies. A pound of carrots for example may be difficult to eat and digest but juice of these pound of carrots would definitely be easier to consume.
If we can aid tissues in repairing themselves by correcting nutritional deficiencies, we can postpone old age. In under 15 minutes of consumption of juices on an empty stomach, raw juices begin to enter the blood stream through the digestive processes. Every gland and organ is able to derive the benefit of this nutrition, through quick absorption. Vegetable juices do not contain more than 3 % protein , but these proteins are of a high biologic value.
