Recalling Health to the Body Essentials

Natural, Organic "Super Foods" and Nutrients--such as garlic, lemon, bee pollen, vitamin C and fish oils, to name a few—should be a part of your diet on a regular basis. Our Cancer Preventing Super foods article at (http://www.natural-nutrition.recallinghealth.net/Cancer-Preventing-Superfoods.html) provides a list of good superfood choices.

Fiber: Eat more fiber! Whole vegetables and fruits are composed of a considerable quantity of fibers. “When the food we eat is raw, uncooked and unprocessed, these fibers act as an intestinal broom. When food is cooked, the intense heat destroys its life. Its fibers, having lost their magnetism through the heat, being lifeless, dead, act in the nature of a mop swabbing through the intestines, all too often leaving a coating of slime on the walls of the intestines. In the course of time this slime accumulates, putrefies and causes Toxemia. The colon then becomes sluggish and distorted and constipation, colitis, diverticulosis and other disturbances result.” – Norman Walker. So do you want the mop or the broom effect? If you are using a traditional juicer or blender to process your fruits and vegetables, then you should know that this actually removes a lot of the fiber from your whole foods. You can overcome this by switching to the VitaMix machine, which is far simpler and much less time consuming to use for your juicing needs.

Reduce meat consumption and move as close as possible to a vegetarian lifestyle. There is a reason why the spiritual teachers have forewarned that fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts will be the food of the future. Read some of the Master’s comments on why meat is not needed in the diet here. This article approaches the subject from an ecological and physiological perspective.

Juicing: the juices extracted from fresh raw fruits and vegetables furnish the body with what it needs in a manner that is most readily assimilated. Fruit juices are the cleansers of the human body, but the fruit should be ripe. Fresh, raw vegetable juices, without preservatives, are the builders and regenerators of the body, containing all the amino acids, mineral salts, enzymes and vitamins needed by the human body. So juicing becomes very important, especially if the body’s immune system is weak or you are ill; this liquid food form allows the body to focus on healing instead of it using excessive energy in the digestive process. The hot soup you take when you are ill should be soup made with your VitaMix machine, where the enzymes are not destroyed in the heating process. Juicing is also very useful for meat eaters and those who like cooked foods because it allows you to get the nutrients you do not get from devitalized heat processed foods you take in daily. Using a VitaMix to do your juicing is better than using a traditional juicer because you retain all the fiber of the food, which greatly aids in the elimination process.
