No one can argue with the fact that fruits and vegetables are the most nourishing foods available for the body. They provide the most amount of vitamins and minerals per calorie. When we start to eat a diet higher in raw foods we naturally start to eat a diet higher in fruits and vegetables, providing a much higher quantity of essential nutrients.
Eating a raw food diet does not have to mean you will now have to live on apples and lettuce leaves, which is what alot of people would think! There is a whole culinary world out there creating the most amazing raw foods. From the simple combinations of fruits and vegetables to make delicious juices, smoothies and salads to the most extravagant gourmet raw foods to tempt even the most unadventurous palet.
When we start to eat a diet predominently in living foods, we start to feel alive. Our body starts to let go of all the toxic matter stored in our cells and we start to radiate with a level of health and happiness we never knew was possible. We start to experience a higher level of energy, strength and vitality and a sense of peace and joy we only dreamt about. We start to live more intune with the laws of nature and nature starts to reward us.
Start incuding more and more raw foods in your diet from today and see for yourself how good you will feel. You will naturally start to crave foods which are good for your body and slowly you will let go of the desire fo processed, dead, devitalised cooked food which you have been puting in your body.
Start creating a space in your kitchen for yourself that supports your intentions for a higher level of health and happiness. This will allow you to make exciting and delicious raw foods which will nourish every cell of your body. Enjoy the wonderful journey and rewards of creating a healthy body and mind (-:

Transcribed from the Dead Sea Scrolls. These scrolls contained Books of the bible that were not included in the format we generally received. The Essenes are well known to be the community that Jesus was born into.
This is a quote from part of that translated text.
“Kill neither men nor beast, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also.
For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything, which kills your bodies, kills your souls also. And your bodies become what you are. Even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are.
Therefore, eat not anything, which fire or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will eventually burn, freeze and rot your body also.
Be not like the foolish husbandman who sowed in his ground cooked, and frozen, and rotted seeds. And the autumn came, and his fields bore nothing. And great was his distress.
But be like that husbandman who sowed in his field living seed, and whose fields bore living ears of wheat, paying a hundredfold for the seeds that he has planted.
For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your soul’s also”.

The natural foods that are designed for our biological needs are fruit, vegetables and some nuts and seeds. If however, you still choose to incorporate grains and legumes in your diet, the healthiest and most nutritious way to eat them is by sprouting them.
Sprouting is a very easy and cheap way of transforming dried grains and beans into life giving foods and multiply their nutritional benefits by huge amounts.
Grains and Legumes are indigestible to the body in their dried, uncooked state because of the enzyme inhibitors (that all grains, beans, nuts and seeds have) and a chemical in legumes that is actually poisonous to the body, but by sprouting them you can make the vitamins and minerals easily available to the body without cooking them.
Using a sprouter is a simple way to make a lovely variety of different sprouts at the same time. Experiment with different grains, beans and seeds to get a variety of nutrients, tastes and textures. It is always best to soak them first for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight before rinsing them thoroughly, draining off all excess water and then placing them on the sprouting racks/in the jars. If you are in a more humid environment you will need to rinse them once to twice a day to prevent mould. In a drier environment sometimes once a day or even not at all. Sprouts take about 2 days in a warm climate and 3-5days in a colder climate.
Sprouting is a wonderful way to have live, highly nutritious protein food on hand at all times! They can be sprinkled over salads, enjoyed on their own as a snack, chucked in soups, casseroles or stirfrys at the last minute or made into raw hummus or pates.
Some favourite things to try are alfafa seeds, mung beans, buckwheat, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, chickpeas, sunflower seeds! Get creative and have fun growing your own food
It is always best to eat your food in its whole, fresh, ripe, raw and preferably organic state but occasionally as a treat we like to mimic our favourite cooked foods or need some help with the transition from a standard cooked food diet to a diet higher in raw plant foods. The Dehydrator is a great way to create our favourite cooked foods without destroying the food of its vital nutrients and enzymes. On most of the dehydrators the temperature can be set. If it is set at no higher than 47′C it is still considered raw!
You are able to make yummy things like sprouted wheat crackers, the ‘raw food favourite’ flax seed crackers, sweet treats, vegetable chips and dried fruit as well as the more gourmet treats like pizza, falaffals and pastas and still enjoy the benefits of eating a raw food die.
Soya is NOT health food and was not grown for human consumption but as cattle feed.
Yes, soya is a high source of protein but very far from a good one.
It is basically indigestible to the body and almost all soya is Genetically modified.
It contains high levels of oestrogen which has proved to be a cause in breast cancer in woman. it contains a chemical that mimics oestrogen and can cause havoc with hormones. The wide use of soya in infant milk formulas has been linked to premature onset of puberty and males developing female characteristics.
The worse forms of soya are isolate soya protein found in shakes and weight gain powder and TVC(textured vegetable protein).
If you really want to eat soya it is best eaten fermented in the form of miso, tempeh and Nakto.
Occasional some tofu is OK.
Rice, Oat or nut milks are a much healthier option to milk.
Personally there are many alternative ways of getting protein that are alot more beneficial to your health and easier to utilise by the body. But please do consider that our body actually needs very little protein to thrive and DO NOT need the high levels of protein that the meat and dairy industry have convinced us we need. There is no medical term for lack of protein, but lists of disease caused by excess protein. Eat loads of Green leafy vegetables and fruit and some nuts and seeds and you will be getting all the amino acids your body needs in an easily absorbable form.

This seed bread is super quick and easy to prepare and it is way more delicious than any bread I’ve tasted. Since it is made with seeds, it doesn’t fit into the category of eat all you want, but rather the category of eat as an occasional treat, as it is high in fat.
Ingredients:
2 cups of sunflower seeds
1 cup of sundried tomatoes
1-2 limes squeezed
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until a dough is formed. If the mixture is not sticky enough, add more sundried tomatoes (if it is too moist, add more seeds).
Using your hands, flatten chunks of dough into a bread shape, or use a cookie cutter to shape it.
You can eat the seed bread right away if you want, but for best results, refrigerate for at least an hour as it will set further and become closer to the consistency of toast.
Serve with avocado, tomato, lettuce and a slice of ginger.
Stir all ingredients together until evenly mixed. As easy as this is, it has a sustaining power to it. For a second version, add the above ingredients to the ingredients below. This is one of those recipes you can use in many creative ways. It’s a salad in itself or can be put on top of greens. It can also be used as a dip for chips.
2 cups tomatoes – diced
1-2 cups avocados – diced
1 cup almonds chopped – 1/4 “ size
1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon salt – celtic or himalayan
Added to version
1 cups celery – finely diced
4-5 tablespoons green onions – diced, 3-4 T. if dried which intensifies the flavor
4-5 tablespoons cilantro – minced, 3-4 T. if dried which intensifies the flavor
2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced into “noodles” (approximately 4 cups)
Pesto sauce:
2 cups fresh basil, firmly packed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoon pine nuts
1 medium/large clove garlic
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
¾ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast*, optional
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast*, optional
Garnish:
12 cherry tomatoes, quartered
8 Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
4 teaspoons pine nuts, optional
Directions
To make the “noodles,” cut the zucchini into ¼-inch-thick slices, and then lay each slice on its side and cut into ¼-inch thick julienne strips. Place in a mixing bowl. Alternatively, use a mandoline on the small julienne setting.
To make the pesto, in a blender or food processor, combine the basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast (if using) and jalapeño (if using) and blend until smooth. Be careful not to over blend. Depending upon the strength of the blender motor, you may need to add a little more olive oil to process smoothly.
Add the pesto to the zucchini “noodles” and toss gently but thoroughly. Let sit for 10 minutes so the zucchini softens.
To serve, divide the mixture into four bowls and top each serving with 6 cherry tomato quarters, 2 olive halves and 1 teaspoon of pine nuts, if desired.
*Nutritional yeast is a pure strain of yeast that adds a cheesy and nutty flavor to vegan dishes. It’s also a source of protein, providing essential amino acids and B-vitamins. (The fortified Red Star brand contains vitamin B-12.) It’s available in the condiment section and/or the bulk section of natural foods stores. Stored in a cool dry place or the refrigerator or freezer, it will last for months.
**Wear rubber gloves when handling chile peppers and be careful not to rub your eyes.
Remembering that food combining does not apply with juicing as no digestion is required. Spices like ginger are also a great addition to your juice. Start your day with a juice or make one to sip on at the office during meals or to drink during your work out to keep up your energy and keep you hydrated.
