Why RAW Food?

“ The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you." – I kings 19:7

The human body does not understand food in the way we view food. For the human body, nutrients are like fuel required for powering the body in order for it to carry out basic functions.
Such functions include but not restricted to i) Repair of damaged cells or tissues ii) Prevention of diseases and infections iii) Growth and general body development.

The body places demand asking for materials known as nutrients for it to carry out the above functions and this demand is interpreted as hunger. In most cases, the demand are inadequately supplied in quantity or quality and sometimes completely ignored as we try to satisfy the hunger quest.

A typical demand interpreted as hunger could be a demand for carbohydrates as energy are required for some body building activities but when the hunger demand is met, the body is supplied with protein and denatured sugars which cannot be directly used by the body for the required function.

What the body does for survival in such state is to attempt conversion of whatever is supplied to meet the required needs. This could be a long process and can affect the health of the individual when repeated over a long period of time.

This contributes to the disease initiating process in most people. We may not be able to adequately interpret hunger demands hence we must strive to ensure that our foods contain basic nutrients in necessary amounts the body requires for its basic functions.

One way to achieve this is thru eating our food raw and as close to nature as possible with little or no alteration. Most cooked meals are dead on arrival as most nutrients contained in food are thermal-sensitive.

Also, most of our processing methods denature and depletes our foods of necessary nutrients the body may require. The quality of Vitamin C from a bottle of packaged orange juice will be lower when compared with juice from a freshly plucked orange.

This is responsible for the longevity pattern as noticed in older generations where fresh and natural foods are preferred.

We all have a great journey of destiny to fulfill. Our stay in this physical body plays a key role in fulfilling this destiny. Our feeding methods will determine how far we would go with this body.

Raw foods retain most of their nutrients as they have not been damaged via cooking. Most times, we are unable to maximize the nourishment essentials in our foods because of cooking and other preparatory methods engaged.

Most minerals, vitamins and nutrients in our foods are thermal-sensitive. They are destroyed when under high heat. Some of them are denatured and can assume a potentially dangerous form for the body as is the case in some oils when they are over heated can turn to trans-fat.

PARENTS ALERT: FOOD & DIET AFFECTS YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOR AND LEARNING

By
This topic is a response to several demands and enquiry as regards the role food plays in behaviors, moods, addictions, etc. Special attention will be given to what parents should watch out for especially as children are returning to school. Our food has changed so drastically in the last few decades it is no wonder that food-related behavior and learning problems in children are increasing. What is clear is that children not only behave better but concentrate better, follow instructions better, and remember more when they eat healthier food. It should be noted that concentration, following instructions, and memory are fundamental building blocks of the learning process and vital for success at school. Moms and Dads certainly intend to do the best for their children, and part of this can mean feeding them “regular food” that won’t set their children apart from their friends. But in doing so, our children are being sabotaged in ways that make it difficult for them to ...

Ebola, Colloidal Silver & Nano Silver

By
A colloid is a substance in which particles of one kind (nano-micros in measure, so tiny) are dispersed throughout a medium of some other kind. “Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver particles in a colloidal base” – Food & Drug Administration (FDA) It is important to note that Nano-silver is a type of colloidal mineral which due to its anti-microbial activities, have been incorporated into many consumer products. These products include dietary supplements, laundry detergents, body soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, disinfectant sprays, kitchen utensils, clothing and children’s toys. The use of colloidal silver dates back to 1938. Before the invention of antibacterial soap, colloidal silver was used as a disinfectant. It is still most commonly used to kill bacteria. Silver is effective at both preventing and combating bacterial illnesses and infections because it does not corrode making it an effective choice of cookware though expensive. Ancient Greeks realised th...
