We have to aim for more toxins coming out then going in so diet is crucial to health & vitality & happiness.
All cooked food of toxic to some extent because the heat changes the
structure of the food. So if we can aim for 50% raw & 50% cooked will pay dividents.
Whenever you cook food, whether it’s on a stove
top, in an oven, on a grill, in a microwave, or in a fryer, not only does the
molecular structure of the food become denatured, deranged, and/ or degraded,
but those molecules are changed into new chemical configurations (this is a bad
thing) and carcinogenic and mutagenic byproducts are formed.
Grilling, barbecuing, smoking and frying are the worst offenders; they
are literally the fires of death, but steaming also affects the food. You know
that old saying that there are more nutrients in the water of steamed veggies
than are actually left in the veggies when they are done steaming? That’s
because heat destroys nutrients, especially the water soluble vitamins like
vitamin C and all the B vitamins. The heating of food also destroys the food’s
enzymes. In fact, 100% of the food’s enzymes are destroyed at temperatures as
low as 118 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the oxygen and water content of the
food is drastically decreased, fats are carcinogenized, crabs are caramelized
and proteins are coagulated and become virtually unusable by the body. Even the
fiber in food loses that sweeping-like action in the colon.
The heating of food also creates toxic byproducts.
WARNING:- This is particularly true of heated oils. All refined oils change structure when heated. The only oils that be used for cooking are coconut oil or ghee.
Digestive
leukocytosis:
The term leukocytosis refers to an increase in white blood cells,
indicating the body is in attack mode. This commonly occurs when you are sick;
your white blood cells come out to protect you. It may surprise you to know
this immune response also occurs when you consume cooked food. lt is referred
to as digestive leukocytes, but it’s interesting to note, this reaction does
not occur after eating raw/uncooked food.
Accelerated
aging, lowered pH and free radical formation: Also
called, lipofuscin, a build-up of toxic, acidic waste material often referred
to as “free radicals” accumulates in the skin (and reveals itself as age
spots), liver, nervous sys· tem and brain when consuming large amounts of
cooked food. Your pH becomes acidic and you are literally rusting from the
inside out.
Weakened
immune system, disease production and overworked and enlarged pancreas and
other organs: When you are not getting the proper
nutrients, your white blood cells are always out in attack mode and toxic
wastes are in full circulation, your weak and overworked body breeds common
ailments such as allergies, head· aches, sinusitis, diabetes, heart disease,
erectile dysfunction, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, and various cancers
thrive.
Intestinal
toxemia, unfriendly flora build-up and more difficult digestion: Colonies of unfriendly bacteria take over the colon as they feed on the
thick tarlike, undigested and uneliminated cooked food putrefying in the
intestines. There is also a significant decrease in the quantity of healthy
intestinal flora in the colon, often leading to digestion difficulties. A
plant-based uncooked diet decreases the toxic load in the colon and de· creases
the unfriendly bacteria and other dangerous byproducts that contribute to colon
cancer.
Toxic
waste accumulation and mucoid plaque build-up in the blood and colon: A congested bowel full of putrefied cooked food can lead to backup and
reabsorption of toxins back into the bloodstream. This accumulation of wastes
in the blood vessels can contribute to many of to» day’s common circulatory
problems such as heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and even
erectile dysfunction, and may also contribute to many other common health
challenges such as gout, arthritis and various cancers. In addition, common
ailments such as runny noses, headaches, asthma and even diarrhea can be signs
of a “healing crisis” where the body is overwhelmed and is trying to rid
itself of unwanted mucus and toxins.
Malnutrition
& deficiency of important nutrients: Many of
those who regularly cat cooked food find themselves always hungry and always
eating but totally malnourished, for the nutrient make- up of cooked food is
diminished significantly, so the body is always craving more and more.
Depletion
of the food’s life force: As shown in kirlian
photography, cooking literally kills food; its bioelectrical energy is
destroyed. After cooking, the food is considered “dead.”
Increased
risk of diseases of all types: The cooking of food,
especially at high temperatures, literally burns away the anti-disease and
anti-cancer properties of food. A diet lacking in raw veggies has been
implicated in everything from breast and colon cancer to heart disease,
diabetes and even arthritis.
At the very least we can eat 50% raw salads etc before we eat cooked
food. This will go a long way in ensuring good health.
