Food matters- You are what you eat

Food matters, you are what you eat. It is wise that vegetarians combine cooked and raw diet, especially if you experience low energy level because the nutrient in raw food is still intact not tampered with heat while cooked food has been heated, making food enzymes and some nutrient unavailable or not sufficient. Heat changes the makeup of food. It is said that approximately 85% of nutrients and beneficial enzymes in food are lost when cooked.

A person can prevent the body’s healthy cells from turning into malignant cancerous cells by eating mostly raw whole foods.  When cooking food, be selective of what you cook and how you prepare it (what kind of cookware you use and how much heat you apply affects nutrient and flavor). For example, you can eat beets raw and bake potatoes because raw potatoes will be hard on the mouth; you can eat oat meal raw or boil for 1mins to soften- use cooking methods like baking that helps to seal in food nutrient/compounds. Other tips:  You can add sprouts in your salad; it is good source of nutrient, protein and it’s easy to digest. Nutrients and Enzymes in raw food is still intact.
