The Roots of Sickness & Disease part 5

[Guest guest]

Live Foods vs. Dead Foods Live foods still have their enzymes, while dead foods do not. Live foods are more healthy, digest much easier, are life giving and are of more benefit to the body that dead foods. It is fine to cook some of our food, but to cook all of our food or even a majority of it robs our bodies of nutrients we need. Man-made vs. God-made Man-made nutrients are isolated substances that man has identified and either made/synthesized in a laboratory or found a way to isolate from a natural source. Either way these nutrients are isolated or separated out as pure substances before becoming part of a supplement. God made nutrients are found in nature along with many other complementary nutrients. These nutrients as they are digested actually help one another be assimilated and used by the body. Much of the complexities of nutrient digestion and

assimilation are still not known. Though they have learned much through the years, there is likely much more that is not know than is known. Fortunately, in a God made food the nutrition is complete and complementary. Unfortunately, in man-made supplements the nutrition is only as complete as the company/laboratory's knowledge in charge of the formulating and extracting. Nutrient Dense vs. Nutrient PoorNutrient dense foods are foods loaded with lots of nutrition. For the calories ingested you get your money’s worth. Nutrient poor foods will give you calories with nothing to show for it. Most of these foods actually have to rob nutrients from your body that are in storage in order to even be digested. Refined sugar and white flour are two examples of nutrient poor food. Foods grown on rich, organism loaded, organic soil or pristine soils where agriculture has not ever been before are more nutrient dense than grocery

store produce. Acid vs. AlkalineAlkaline forming foods are foods that help the body become more alkaline. These foods contain predominately the minerals potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium. Alkaline forming foods are the fruits and veggies, kefir, and a few grains like millet, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and wild rice. Coconuts are alkaline forming.Acid forming foods help the body to become more acidic. These foods contain predominately phosphorous, chlorine, and sulfur. Acid forming foods are the grains, seeds, legumes, meats and dairy products except for kefir. Fruits and veggies should not be canned. The more processed they are the more acidic they become. The healthy alkaline forming minerals will leach into the water as you cook your food. This is why light cooking such as stir frying and, sautéing are fine, but canning and prolonged heating is not recommended. Yes,

oranges, limes and lemons are alkaline forming. Though they contain citric acid, the minerals in these fruits are alkaline forming minerals and they will actually have an alkalinizing effect on the body. However canned and frozen fruit juices are acid forming. Only fresh squeezed juice will help you to become alkaline. One additional thing that can help you to become alkaline is taking minerals. Coral Calcium can help a person to become alkaline, and so will ionic and other types of minerals. Some people believe Calcium citrate and magnesium citrate are preferable to the calcium carbonate etc found in coral calcium. Others believe you should only take ionic minerals. Ionic minerals are minerals not in the salt forms such as carbonate and citrate, but rather as ions in water. They talk about the ions being measured by the angstrom. My personal experience is that products that are man made can be dangerous. Since Calcium citrate, Magnesium citrate and the ionic

minerals are all man made products Probiotic “Super Foods”These foods are actually predigested, loaded with increased minerals and vitamins that are easily digested and assimilated. These cultured foods contain friendly bacteria that will take up residence in your digestive tract and protect you from sickness and disease. If you have healthy normal flora, you will not be a friendly host to pathogens. Probiotic foods actually give you all the enzymes you need to digest them plus they also give you enough enzymes for other components of your meal while giving you more nutrients than you would have received from the non-fermented food. They also help you re-establish a normal “eco-system” inside that is health and pathogen free. Suzi What is a weed?
