Eating raw foods is a way to give your body some of the
nutrition it desperately needs. Many of us are at least slightly overweight,
and even the morbidly obese are starving for essential proteins and amino
acids. All the processed, cooked foods we eat give us only a small percentage
of what we need. Consequently, we eat and eat and yet we’re still not
nourished. Psychologists try to tell us we’re eating to make up for an
emptiness in our souls. Wrong! Our bodies our empty and trying to tell us so.
Eating raw foods is good for us on so many levels. It’s
satisfying to eat them. They take more time to chew and swallow, so we don’t
eat as fast. And we’re getting so much more in the way of nutrition by
consuming fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouts.
It can take time to prepare raw foods, however. Which is why
a juicer is an important addition to your kitchen once your start to be serious
about raw foods. A good juicer can process an entire apple – seeds, stems,
peel, pulp and all – and turn all that into a healthy, nutritious juice.
Buying apple juice is NOT the same thing!!! Don’t even look
at apple juices or even ciders in the grocery store. Put that $2 or $3 aside
and save up for a juicer. Buy bags of apples, orange, bananas, carrots and make
your own juices to get everything from the fruit that you’d get by eating it
raw. Now you’re getting juice that’s as fresh as the fruit or vegetable you
made it from. No preservatives, no processing that strips most of the energy
from the fruit. And think of all the delicious combinations you can make with
the many tropical fruits that are available now in most grocery stores. You can
customize your fruits and add non-typical ingredients like pumpkin to an orange
juice. Now that’s a powerhouse of a juice!
