HOW TO EAT RAW FOOD IN A SMART WAY

Eating raw food is said to be highly nutritious. Raw foods are loaded with enzymes and other biologically active compounds which heat destroys during cooking. However, raw food may be toxic to your body because of parasites and harmful microscopic organisms that may have invaded the food during farming or storage.

Additionally some foods contain chemicals like lectins which are not friendly at all with your digestive system. 

Taking extra care during the preparation can eliminate or reduce the risk of contamination. To get rid of parasites, microorganisms and even clinging farm chemicals, it is advised to follow the following steps:

1. Wash your raw food thoroughly with clean water.

2. Sock the food in white vinegar for five minutes.

3. Again wash thoroughly with clean water

The food can now be served.

If the food is one containing lectins it is advised to sock it in a strong sodium bicarbonate solution for at least half an hour. Then wash thoroughly with clean water before serving

CARBS & PROTEINS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE!

Normally we like both carbs and proteins. Because of this most dishes contain a combination of the two foods. While the taste is great, a mix of the two foods is not compatible for our digestive systems. The food is highly stressful to the digestive system because a lot of gas is created in the stomach.

How does this happen?

It happens because proteins and carbs require diametrically opposite digestive environments! Since they can not be digested together, the digestive systems normally goes after the food which requires more energy to digest. It happens to be the protein in a protein - carb mixture. Unfortunately the stomach has a lot of acid and the acid will start acting on the carbs - fermenting them!

A byproduct of fermentation is GAS!

The rule is: Eat your proteins with veggies and also eat your carbs with veggies

WHY SUPPLEMENTATION IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Nutritional supplements are important because they help us to correct deficiencies in our bodies. These deficiencies involve minerals, vitamins, enzymes and anti oxidants. Most of the time deficiencies in our bodies occur because of living on an imbalanced diet. Most of the time living on an imbalanced diet is not intentional. Mostly it occurs because of decreased food quality. The quality of food is becoming increasingly poor due to poor soils. The number of nutrients in farmed plants have been decreasing continuously. Furthermore additional nutrients are lost during transportation and storage.

There are many industrial supplements in pharmacies. However these are expensive and may be out of reach of  many common folk. Not to worry. A great supplement that is not only natural but is also commonly available is moringa leaf powder. The powder contains not only a variety of minerals, vitamins, and anti oxidants, it also contain many amino acids, including essential amino acids. If the leaf was dried under the shade, there is also a possibility that it also contains live enzymes! 

Try supplementing with Moringa leaf Powder.

The Mighty Moringa! Could Easily be the Best Superfood on the Planet

  Introduction Superfoods are those foods which are endowed with a plethora of varied nutrients that are highly beneficial to health. These nutrients may include high levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other beneficial substances. One of the primary causes of illness, especially non communicable illnesses, is homeostatic imbalance. A disruption or disturbance in the normal equilibrium or balance within the body's internal environment is what is known as homeostatic imbalance. Homeostatic balance is maintained by the ingestion of both macro and micronutrients in their appropriate proportions, and the ability of the body to process and absorb those nutrients. A diet that is capable of maintaining homeostatic balance must:       Provide a source of ingredients needed for protein synthesis in the body;        Provide a source of ingredients needed for energy production in the body;      Provide a source of ingredients needed for strengthening the immune system;

This Unseen Poison is Probably the Biggest Killer Around. It is Called Stress!

  Introduction: Imagine you are on the road. There is a big queue, and the traffic is hardly moving. You have an important appointment, and the way things are, you are likely to miss it! What is the state of your mind at that particular moment? What is the dominant emotion you are experiencing? I think such an emotion is called FRUSTRATION. That is our lives. On a daily basis, we encounter many situations that produce frustration. For example, you are overwhelmed by bills that need to be paid, but you are short of cash. While this is eating you slowly, you remember that an instalment on your mortgage is due! Then your wife humbly approaches you and reports that her ultrasound exams have revealed that she has a huge ovarian cyst, and that is why she has been experiencing pain on the right side of her lower abdomen. A costly operation is needed, but since she does not have medical insurance, the family must somehow raise the required operation fees! So, frustration piles upon frust

Pain, discomfort, and itching associated with hemorrhoids can make it difficult to focus on work tasks.   Introduction You have heard of hemorrhoids, right? If not, hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are a condition characterized by inflammation in the tissues surrounding the anal canal; and the opening of the rectum. These tissues, called hemorrhoids, consist of numerous blood vessels, muscles, and elastic fibers. Essentially, everyone has hemorrhoidal tissues, but they become a problem when they become swollen and inflamed. Hemorrhoids can vary in size and can be located internally or externally around the anal opening. Generally, the chances that you will ever suffer from inflamed hemorrhoids are only about 4%. However, for adults above 50 years old the odds increase to 50%. Internally, hemorrhoids typically occur about 2 to 4 centimeters above the anal opening, while external hemorrhoids develop on the outer edges of the anal opening. Internal hemorrhoids are generally mo
