Losing weight doesn't have to be boring when you focus on
living foods. What does this mean? Simply by making sure
your plate reflects a range of colours, you'll naturally
create more balanced and healthful menus.
What are living foods? They are re live, colourful, fresh
and raw - fruits, vegetables and salads!
Let's Look at the Positives
Consuming Cooked
Foods
Colourful foods have no preservatives and no added colour!
Heat destroys the vitalising nutrients in colourful foods. So much so that
sometimes, you may as well be eating cardboard for all the good it does your
body!
Provide an abundance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre, water and trace
elements.
Have a high water content - an excellent source of hydration for the body.
Are visually appetising.
The effectiveness of fibre
in cooked fresh foods is
reduced - vegetables that
are floppy and overcooked
pass through the body with a
reduced 'cleansing' action.
If you cook vegetables,
always steam them lightly
and aim to retain their
'crunch'!
Their firm textures demand a
good chew, so we eat them
more slowly and feel full
afterwards.
Are quickly and easily
processed and assimilated by
the body - less work for the
digestive system.
Cooked vegetables tend to
turn out soft and therefore
require less chewing, which
means they are usually eaten
more quickly, so are less
satisfying.
Are safer - contain less
undesirable man-made
chemicals.
Are as nature intended
(unlike processed,
pre-packaged modern fast
foods!)
Heat also destroys the
enzymes in fresh foods,
which are essential for
digestion. This means the
body has to tap into its own
precious supply of enzymes
to support the digestive
process.
Are pure energy - living
food.
