Include living foods in your diet to #lose weight
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 complete with a range of living foods.
What are living foods? They are re-live, colourful, fresh and raw – fruits, vegetables and salads!
Let’s see the advantages of eating live foods
1. Colourful foods have no preservatives and no added colour!
2. Provide an abundance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, water and trace elements.
3. Have a high water content – an excellent source of hydration for the body.
4. Are visually appetising.
5. Their firm textures demand a good chew, so we eat them more slowly and feel full afterwards.
6. Are quickly and easily processed and assimilated by the body – less work for the digestive system.
7. Are safer – contain less undesirable man-made chemicals.
8. Are as nature intended (unlike processed, pre-packaged modern fast foods!)
9. Are pure energy – living #food.
Reasons why the Consuming of Cooked Foods is worse than eating living foods
1. Heat destroys the vitalizing nutrients in colourful foods. So much so that sometimes, you may as well be eating cardboard for all the good it does your body!
2. 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.
3. If you cook vegetables, always steam them lightly and aim to retain their ‘crunch’!
4. Cooked vegetables tend to turn out soft and therefore require less chewing, which means they are usually eaten more quickly, so are less satisfying.
5. 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.

In summary, we see clearly the benefits of diet based on living food in front of the consumption of cooking foods them and especially the consumption of processed foods
So now you know, to have better health and lose those kilos we can spare, simple and effective advice is to include in our diet living foods
