Raw Energy

fruit and Vegetables provide Raw Energy.......... Why !!!!

Have you ever felt tired after a meal consisting of cooked and processed food ? (Yes)

Have you ever felt tired after eating a bag of oranges/grapes or apples ? (No)

All of Nature's foods have been more or less pre-digested by the plant,and all contains digestive enzymes,leaving the body very little work to do.

One of the most energy-consuming processes the human body undertakes is the digestion,assimilation and elimination of the wrong kinds of food.

Because nature's foods have been pre-digested this is why you can eat as many oranges etc as you like but not feel sleepy, yet a large bowl of pasta can have you in sleepy land before you know it.

As scary as this may sound,what's actually happening when you "doze off" after eating that meal or cake is that the body doesn't have enough energy to keep you alive and awake at the same time.

In order for the body to try and turn this semi-dead 'food' into some sort of usable body fuel and extract the waste it creates, it needs energy.

The entire process of digestion, assimilation and elimination can take hours, days, months and even years. In some cases the process never fully happens.

It is really important to give good long periods in-between meals to allow the body to finish the job. Even better idea, replace the cooked meal with a raw one.

Take the processed cereal and milk breakfast away that you have each morning and replace it with a large portion of fruit or a smoothie, and even better than that a juice, even less work for your body to do.

A smoothie still has the bulk/fibre in it, where as with a juice this as been extracted through the juicing machine. I like to vary both. And some days I just want to eat it plain and simple the way nature provided it.

Why smoothie or juice ?

Simple really !!! It is a guaranteed way of getting all the good guys into your body which you probably would not do if you had to prepare it and chew it.

You truly would be eating all day long.......

We all have certain fruits and veg we don't like. By juicing or blending them you get the goodness from them. If mixed with other ingredient you wont even taste it.

Try a week at keeping your food light through the day, Smoothies, juices, chopped fruit and veg, dried fruit and nuts, the list really is endless.

Give your body what it needs to work.

Give it a rest, You truly will have so much more energy.

If you really cant live with out that cooked meal ? Then try leaving it to the end of the day. When you are likely to be chilling out, late evening ect.

My guess though is in time you will start favouring Raw over cooked, simply because of how it makes you feel.

I am in no way suggesting you give up all the things you truly love !!!! If you don't want too.

However, next time you are feeling tired or groggy when you wake up in the morning. Constantly getting a cold or feeling under the weather, Just not your self.

THEN.........Ask your self !

Do you need chocolate, cake, cooked food.

Or is your body crying out for it's much needed fuel.

Let Fruit Be Thy Medicine.

You have no excuse it takes no time to prepare......

Have A Awesome Weekend
