| Cooking food
destroys almost all (up to 83%) of the nutrients in it. In some cases it
changes the molecular structure of the proteins, minerals and other nutrients
into inorganic materials the body cannot assimilate.
After a meal of a cooked
meat, cooked potato, cooked vegetable, a piece of cooked bread, followed
by a cooked sugar dessert you push yourself away from the table, stomach
full and satisfied, you head to your easy chair.
In reality, you have given
your body no practical nourishment and you're slowly starving your body's
living cells. The body needs nutrition. When it doesn't get it, it starts
to feed on itself. But it knows it can get no nourishment from the fat
so it begins to feed on the muscle. It's better to eat live raw food rather
than cooked dead food.
Of course you'll want to
bake a potato, but if you do cook or steam your vegetables, wait until
the water is rapidly boiling to help lock in the nutrients. Use only stainless
steel or iron cookware. Do not use aluminum! The aluminum will come off
in the food. Also, do not store food in aluminum containers and don't buy
food in aluminum containers. Try to buy only fresh food.
Of course we all like the
taste of a steak or hamburger. Let's try to make them a treat. Not an everyday
occurrence. Your body will thank you. |
