WHY Eat RAW, Organic Plant-Based Food? 

When you eat Foods that the Body does not recognize, the Body and Organs have to work extra hard to deal with these foreign Toxins.  When the Body can’t deal with the Toxic residue, meaning it can’t Digest, Clean, or Filter the Food properly, the Body eventually just stores these in the  Body.  Ever heard of Toxic Buildup?  That’s when the Body and Organs can no longer work properly.  The Body either does nothing with the Toxins but store them somewhere in the Body, or just recycles them over and over again which leads to Fermentation and Putrefies – decaying and rotting undigested Foods, causing Gas, Bloating, Constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and all kinds of other uncomfortableness. 

When you eat RAW Plant-Based Foods, the Body recognizes Mother Nature and works together with these Plants to Nourish, Cleanse and Heal the Body. RAW Plant-Based Foods are more easily and readily absorbed by the Body and therefore help with Digestion and Elimination, which are the Engines in the Body.  And because of the effectiveness of distributing these RAW Plant-Based Nutrients and Vital Enzymes, along with Vitamins, Minerals and Amino Acids, the transit time of waste matter shortens, avoiding the buildup of Toxemia from the recycling of Toxins from the Colon.

What are some Benefits of a 

RAW, Organic Plant-Based Foodstyle?

We were meant to eat like Mother Nature intended … RAW, Fresh, Organic Fruits, Vegetables, Superfoods, Sea Vegetables (Algae), Nuts and Seeds. Simple and Basic rather than overload the Organs and Systems in the Body with Unnatural, Synthetic and Fake Foods.  In its most RAW state, Plant-Based Food is what the Body assimilates Best, Easiest and Desires because the Body recognizes RAW Plant-Based Foods as  part of Nature because it is in its Natural state.

  • Essential Vitamins, Minerals and other Nutrients are bio-available to the Body, simply put, Food Nutrients are easier to break down and therefore, more Nutrients are absorbed in the Body. 
  • When Food is Cooked over 118 Degrees Fahrenheit such as in conventional cooking, Valuable Nutrients are destroyed by the extreme heat.  When you eat Plant-Based Food RAW, or heat it in a Dehydrator under 118 degrees F, it keeps the Food in its Raw state and it keeps all of these Beneficial Nutrients in tact, and so, these Nutrients go directly into the Cells for an Uber Boost of Nutrition and ultimately Energy. 
  • Important Enzymes are kept intact which keeps the Body staying Healthy and functioning at its Peak Performance. 
  • Through these RAW Plant-Based Nutrients, the Body works to build up the Immunity System so that it can protect you against Colds; Flus etc.
  • By consuming RAW Plant-Based Foods, advancing Diseases such as Heart Disease, Cancer, Alzheimer’s to name a few, can help to be prevented and can even stop these Diseases because Cooking Food creates Free Radicals that wreak havoc in the Body. Free Radicals Bombard, Attack, Destroy and Mutilate the Body’s Cells.  By eating RAW Plant-Based Foods, you decrease the amount of Free Radicals in the Body, thereby lowering the risk of Diseases.
  • RAW Plant-Based Foods are more Flavourful and so there’s less need to ‘disguise’ food with Condiments, which can be taxing on the Digestive System and hard to digest.
  • Digestion will work at its optimal best, and therefore the Elimination Systems will improve, and Gas, Bloating, Constipation etc. will be a thing of the past.
  • You will Eat less because you get more Nutrition from eating RAW Plant-Based Foods.  The Body will be satisfied faster and longer with these Cleaner Foods, rather than filling the Body up with empty Calories and Content from Filler Foods (Cooked, Junk, Processed and Fast Foods).
  • Organic, RAW Plant-Based Food have no GMO’s, MSG’s, Toxins, Pesticides, Chemicals, Antibiotics, Preservatives or Growth Hormones. Organic is actually how Food was before these Poisons were introduced into the Conventional Mainstream.
  • You will Lose Weight and become Leaner as the Body becomes more efficient in using the RAW Plant-Food Nutrients.
  • Plant-Based RAW Foods are full of Proteins, Vitamins and Minerals that the Body needs to function properly.
  • The Sun’s Energy is what gives us Life and that Life goes directly into all Plants.
  • RAW Plant-Based Food is Alive, and Living Food which matches our Live and Living Body, making us more ‘Alive’.

Here are some Reasons to eat

RAW Plant-Based Foods …. 

FUN

  • Faster and Easier to prepare Meals because there’s No Cooking or Baking time involved.
  • Less Pots & Pans to Wash because you mostly use Machines like a High Speed Blender, Food Processor, Spiralizer etc. which can be easily rinsed.
  • You will have more room in your Kitchen because you won’t be using all those Small Appliances like Toasters and Microwaves, Pots and Pans, and you’ll have space in your Pantry as they won’t be filled with Pre-made, Packaged and Canned Foods.
  • You can be as Creative as you want. Eat anything you make in any combination, and you can’t even botch your Dinner. 
  • You can add as many RAW Plant-Based ingredients or, as little as you want to any Dish.
  • You no longer have to weigh your Food, Count Calories, Read Labels (none to read), or Portion Control, as you can eat as much RAW Plant-Based Foods as you want!

HEALTH 

  • It helps Reverse the signs of Aging – who wouldn’t want that?
  • Your Hair and Nails become Stronger, your Teeth become Whiter.
  • Your Eye Colour may even change to blue.  
  • You will stop getting Colds, Sinus Issues and No more Flus!
  • Your Allergies, Asthma and other Mucus Building Systems will disappear as you stop eating Dairy, which is full of Hormones and is Mucus causing.
  • Your Largest Organ – your Skin, becomes Softer, Clearer, free of Rashes and Skin Disorders.
  • You will probably no longer even need pharmaceutical Drugs.
  • Because the Body absorbs the Vitamins, Minerals and Various Nutrients better from RAW Plant-Based Foods, you will no longer have any Body Odor and will notice you don’t need Deodorant (which is another Money-Grabbing Scam from Big Companies).
  • You will lose Weight and You Will Feel Great!

ENVIRONMENTAL  

  • It is Friendlier to our Planet, our only Home, and our Mother Earth.
  • Organic Farmers use less power, which causes less Carbon Dioxide, and Precious Nutrients are maintained in the Soil. These Organic Farmers do not use any Pesticides, GMO seeds or Chemicals of any kind and therefore, Organic Food is Clean and Free of Toxins.
  • More Oxygen is produced from Plants.
  • Methane Gases are not caused by Plants but are caused by the Meat-Based Industry, and is one of the main Gases that instigates emissions that cause Global Warming.
  • Rain Forests and Trees would be saved. For Meat Production, Trees are cut and the land is converted into pastures for the Meat-Based Industry.
  • Factory Farmed Animals would no longer be chained to a life that’s not a life at all.  This Cruelty Farming is the largest contributor of Pollution and Toxins through Airborne and Underground Chemical Leaching, and which ultimately, contaminates our Air, Water and Soils.
  • Plant-Based Diets do not require a lot of water, and therefore Plants are more Sustainable and have a lower impact on the Environment than a Meat-based Diet.

HUMANE 

  • We don’t Eat our Pets, so why are we Eating other Animals?  What really is the difference between a Dog and a Pig?  Did you know that Pigs are even smarter than Dogs?
  • When you eat RAW Plant-Based Foods you are choosing Kindness over Cruelty. 
  • It just doesn’t make sense to eat the Flesh of a purposefully raised-for-kill Creature. 
  • All Creatures have Feelings and carry their Stress and Fears in their cells, which ultimately are transferred to You if you consume their Meat.  Ever wonder why there are so many Angry people around?  Just ask if they eat Meat and almost all of them will say yes.
  • When you give up Meat and Dairy for a RAW Plant-Based Lifestyle, you are Saving Lives by those choices.  Demand influences Supply, and when the demand of Plant-Based Foods overrides the demand for Animal Products, it affects Factory Farmers and Meat and Dairy Companies and their bottom dollar. A great example of this is just how many companies are now switching to Organic ingredients and eliminating GMO’s from their products due to the high public demand, and Mainstream Grocery Stores are expanding their Organic aisles.
  • The more people change to this RAW Plant-Based Lifestyle, the more chance for these unfortunate Creatures to be released from a life of Misery and Slavery. 
  • When you eat RAW Plant-Based Foods you are not taking away a Mother’s Milk for her Baby, or taking away her Baby, or a taking away a Mother’s need to Nest and Nurture her Babies. Who do we think we are to do these things?  We need to really open our eyes and see just where our Food is coming from and how we get it.
  • Choosing Kindness over Cruelty regarding Animals, is better for them and it’s better for all of us. A few great Documentaries to watch are “What The Health” or “Meet Your Meat”.
  • This Lifestyle changes you, as well as, your perspective of the Meat, Poultry, Fish and Dairy Industry.  You will want to Live more Harmoniously with Everything and all Creatures on this Planet.
  • Treating Anyone or any Creature Inhumane is just not being Humane or Human.
  • If everyone ate Plants, no one would be, or go Hungry! Think about that!
  • Everything is connected, and we are responsible to be the Caretakers of this Planet, and our Future depends on US changing our Diets and Foodstyles to a Plant-Based Diet.

. . . All of these things and More!

  • Once you start eating RAW Plant-Based Foods, you will Feel Healthier, Better and more Alive! 
  • You will crave these non-Toxic Foods as the Body clears out all of the Junk and Toxins that have been building up since your Birth.  All of this ‘Junk’ became Toxins which also came from Plastics; Household Cleaners; New Cars (yes); Cigarettes and Smoke; Alcohol; Drugs (recreational and pharmaceutical); Conventional and Processed Foods laden with Chemicals and Poisons. 
  • Your Body will continue to want the Nourishment it so Desperately Needs and Wants!
  • You will Eat Less, Lose Weight and Have More Energy!
  • Chances are high that you will not ever get Sick or Tired again.
  • Your Mind will become Clearer, which will open the channels of Creativity to flow to you.

RAW Plant-Based vs. Cooked Food

VeRAWonica 1 Comment

So what is the Difference between RAW Plant-Based Food and Cooking your Food? 

Why should I not cook my Food and instead, eat Fresh, Organic, RAW Plant-Based Foods?  By the Way, when someone eats Plant-Based Foods, they are eating ‘Vegan’ Food, so there is still a difference between eating Cooked Vegan Food and RAW Vegan Food.  Read on to find out Why ….

Although Humans have been Cooking Food for Thousand of Years, NO other Animal on the Planet Cooks its Food.  NO other Animal on the Planet experiences Disease (other than if Humans have fed Animals).  NO other Animal on this Planet drinks another Animal’s Milk – only Humans do that.  All Animals on this Planet eat RAW Food.  Humans are the only ones that do not, unless you are a RAW Foodist.

Why do Humans Cook their Food?

Cooking Food creates Sensations and Emotions that trigger Memories.  The Smell(s) of Cooking or Cooked Food, can stimulate strong Emotions and can either Entice or Repulse you.  Cooking Food often brings Family and Friends together, and Socially, Cooked Food creates Gatherings.

BUT, there is a Disconnect between Eating Cooked Food and understanding of just what Cooked Food does to the Food, and to the Human Body.

What does Cooking do to Food?

Whether you Steam, Fry, Cook, Broil, Bake, Heat over 118 degrees Farhenheit changes and radically alters the Molecules and Chemical Structures of Food:

  • Proteins are Altered, Modified and Changed
  • Nutrients are Damaged and are then rendered unusable to the Body
  • Fats are Oxidized and become potentially Dangerous Compounds such as Trans-Fatty Acids, Free Radicals and other Toxins
  • Sugars and Starches are progressively Caramelized which creates Erratic and Excessive Body Sugar Metabolism Reactions
  • Enzymes Get Destroyed because they are extremely Heat Sensitive 
  • Minerals return to their Inorganic Ash State making them Unusable and Toxic to the Body
  • Vitamins are Inactivated and turn into Toxic or Useless Chemical Structures that no longer add to the Capable Function of the Body
  • Poisonous, Highly-Reactive Free Radicals are produced adding to the Body’s Burden and Accelerates Aging

Note: RAW Plant-Based Food does NONE of the Above to the Body

What does Cooking do to Your Body?

Anything that is consumed by the Body that cannot be Digested or Stored, must be Eliminated as Waste. Eating Cooked Food produces a lot of Waste in the Body, so much so, that our Eliminative Organs cannot keep up, and Waste continues to Accumulate. This Accumulation leads to an overall Toxic State in the Body and ends up resulting in Disease.

Eating Cooked Food is like piling so much Trash into the Garbage Bin that it overflows and the Garbage Men (your Eliminative Organs) can’t keep up. Eventually the Trash is going to overflow and you’re going to have a Problem.  

Just by Eating Cooked Food, the Body’s White Blood Cells must Triple or Quadruple in order to Expel and Counteract the offending substances.  Just like when the body has been given any Poison or Drug – it creates the same Defensive Response. A lifetime of Eating Cooked Food causes the Body to become Saturated in Waste and Organs can become over-taxed and lose their Functionality.

Cooked, Unnatural and Processed Food (which includes Chemicals; GMO’s; Hormones; Additives etc.), is less Digestible which can cause Digestive Issues such as Bloating, Gas, Irritable Bowel Syndrome to name a few.

Your Body’s Cells die at an Accelerated Rate and Tissues that are in constant contact with these Toxins become Irritated; Inflamed; Ulcerated; Hardened and often leads to Degeneration.

The Body ultimately develops Chronic Illnesses and Diseases.

Note: RAW Plant-Based Food does NONE of the Above to the Body

Benefits of Eating RAW Plant-Based Foods:

Foods that we eat are our Fuel, just like the gas you put into your car – I’m sure you’ve heard that before.  When you put High Octane Gas into your Car, the overall performance is much better than if you put in Cut-Rate Fuel.  Same thing with our Bodies.  When you put in Dense Nutrient-Rich Raw Plant-Based Foods into the Body, the overall performance of the Body excels. Our Bodies recognize Mother Nature and works with our Food within our Bodies.  Free-Radicals are killed, Cells Repair, Organs Detox and everything starts to Clean and Clear out the ‘junk’ that has been, well, killing us. 

When you cook Food, 80% of the Body’s available Energy is used in the Processing of that Food. When you Eat Raw Plant-Based Foods, the Body only uses 20%!  What does that mean?  It means the less Energy the Body expends on Digestion, the more Energy it has left for Living!  This ‘extra’ Energy increases your potential in so many ways!  

Spiritually, you connect more to all Living Things in the World; Mentally, your Focus is Increased and you become more Clear. Physically, you will Lose Weight and your Endurance is Enhanced and you become Healthier.  Emotionally, you become more Loving, Peaceful and Moods become more Balanced. 

We are Live, Living Beings so we should not be eating Dead Foods meaning, they have no Substance; Nutrients; Vitamins; Minerals or Enzymes.  Dead Foods are: Breads; Cookies; Crackers; Snacks; Pasta; Pizza; Processed; Packaged and Cooked Foods etc.

We are also made up of mostly of water – almost 60% and all RAW Plant-Based Foods are Water Dense. 

When you eat RAW Vegan Plant-Based Foods, old Aches and Pains; Cold and Flus; Inflammation and other Health issues just seem to Disappear. You begin to look Youthful again, have more Energy and become Healthier.  You will also want to Eat Less, as your Body is being fed what it needs, “High Octane Fuel” and will be satisfied with the Powerhouse of Foods its getting.  Whereas, when the Body gets Dead or Garbage Food, it wants more ‘Real’ Food as it’s not being Satisfied, so your Body keeps telling you its ‘Hungry’ and, if you pile in more and more Garbage, more and more Garbage gets accumulated in your Body and will not be ‘used’ by your Body for Energy or Function.

The bottom line is, our Bodies run Smoother and more Efficiently with RAW, Organic Plant-Based Foods.  We become Healthier, more Alive, Compassionate, Energetic and Younger!  At the end of the Day, without your Health, Money means nothing…

And as I like to say, Your Health is Your Wealth!
