Raw, Living Food Is More Than Nuts and Seeds!

Raw, living food is not about eating tons of nuts and seeds. Actually, I prefer eating freshly grown green sprouts and vegetables. Ask yourself how much greens and sprouts you consume daily compared to processed foods. I am not talking about eating a bowl of iceberg lettuce with some shredded carrots or sliced cucumbers. Our western way of eating relies heavily on processed food and unfortunately, they are unhealthy.  They do not contain any live enzymes that our bodies require. Our bodies are living machines; therefore, we need live foods. People discount living food based on the notion of eating heavy dose of nuts and seeds. Yes, we do eat nuts and seeds, but I eat them differently and only 5 % to 10 % of my diet consist of eating them.
Instead of focusing on greens or nuts and seeds, one must find a personalized balance between each food type. When one finds the true balance by incorporating sprouted greens, vegetables, nuts and seeds in a proper methods, one finds the success to maintain body and mind.
