When we're too young to make a choice, cooked food is introduced into our lives. From that point on, we take it for granted that food should be cooked, that it will nourish us and will produce good health. Our bodies struggle for years to stay healthy, despite the fact we keep putting devitalized food into our mouths. Gradually our bodies lose this struggle and we begin to develop disease. Most of our childhood illnesses were not necessary and could have been avoided if our parents had only known the importance of eating vital food, rich in natural enzymes.
Enzymes are essential in building and maintaining health.
These living microscopic structures are in all fresh food, and are necessary to help digest food when we eat it. Enzymes break the food down into its component parts so that our body can sort out the nutrients and utilize them throughout the body for repair and maintenance. Unfortunately, heating food to temperatures in excess of 118 degrees disables those living enzymes so they're unable to function. Cooking converts digestible food into a substance that is difficult to digest. No matter how hard our bodies try to break it down, we get very little value from cooked food.
