The Importance Of Eating Raw Eating raw will deliver many of the same benefits as going alkaline, such as a higher energy level and improved health conditions. Eating raw also delivers another jolt of life force to your food. The dominant thought behind raw foods is that they are living foods, as opposed to dead foods, which have had the nutrition cooked out of them. Cooked foods can lose up to 85% of the nutrients you otherwise would have received. The Importance Of Eating Alkaline-Based Foods According to the Science of Dr. Robert Young author of “The pH Miracle”, the pH level of the body must be higher alkaline to ensure optimal health. Studies show that an alkaline body can help to prevent serious health problems, such as: Obesity, Diabetes, Asthma, High-Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Heart Disease and more. Chef Sal shares his philosophy of staying energized and keeping young through a lifestyle of healthy living through exercise, diet and a positive outlook.

I was like most people when finding out about alkalinity, I wanted to know, what could I eat and how do I prepare and cook it? Being a Chef and herbalist for over 25 years, made it a lot easier for me than most to prepare, alter and come up with new cooking ideas. Some are under the impression that once you cook something that's alkaline you can destroy its alkalinity. This is far from the truth. For an example, tomatoes contain lycopene, a form of antioxidant. Raw tomatoes have a total antioxidant potential of about 80, but if you cook the tomatoes the antioxidant potential increases six-fold. This is because the raw tomato has been transformed to trans-lycopene in the cooked version do to the heat infusion, and trans-lycopene is much more readily absorbed by the body. This is the same with most foods. Finally a book that gives you the alkaline food list and how to prepare and cook them, so you can n:main healthy, energized, and vitalized. Peace and Blessings.
