Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 When people talk about raw food, they usually talk about enzymes. Enzymes are energy. Enzymes are life! " (when we eat cooked food...) " ...Inside your body your own enzymes have to leave their work, maybe cleaning the liver, protecting you from tumors and evacuating toxins here and there, to come digest the cooked apple that does not have any enzymes of its own. When this apple finally leaves your body, into the toilet, it is filled with your own enzymes. These enzymes are gone forever. Cooked food does not contain live enzymes and so takes enzymes from your body to digest the food. These enzymes then leave your body, leaving you with fewer enzymes than you started with. Dr. Edward Howell, a leading nutritionist, suggested that the average American at the age of 40, has only 30% of their enzymes left. We can still walk, talk, and think at this point, but when we have only 30% of our enzymes left, plus they have to give about 75% of their energy to detoxify the body, we become less sensitive to other people, and to ourselves. We may survive physically but not spiritually. The good news is that even if we have only 30% of our enzymes left, we still can live our portion of life if we go on a raw diet and let the body purify itself.
