Poor Nutrition Can Make You Fat

   Cooking food destroys many more nutrients than just enzymes. Many vitamins can be destroyed. Proteins can become caramelized, making then indigestible. Carbohydrates can be broken down into simple sugars that are not good for overall health in excess. Fats can become oxidized. Many nutrients can actually brake down, recombine chemically and turn into toxins like free radicals, carcinogens and mutagens. So you are not only getting less nutrition when you cook food, you are potentially making yourself sick. Less nutrition means you body could be starving while you are stuffing your face, making you want to eat more.
   When that happens, your body receives a signal that it needs to store fat to prevent starvation and will hold on to even more fat. This results in a vicious cycle of eating more and more and still feeling hungry. Combine the physical effects with the mental effects of poor digestion and insufficient enzymes with your natural reaction to all of this emotionally and it can lead to eating disorders, depression and anxiety as well.
   On the other hand, when you eat mostly fresh raw, whole foods, then you get dense nutrition and enough enzymes to digest your foods properly. If you eat cooked foods, youll be eating dead foods that have no enzymes. That means your body must scavenge enzymes for digestion from other metabolic processes in your body, wasting energy and resources. However, living food enzymes will over time restore energy and stamina and rebuild your healthy metabolism of all nutrients, including fats. When you feel better physically, youll feel better emotionally, too - and eat even less!
   Todays modern lifestyle kills enzymes in more ways than just cooking food. Stress can damage enzymes. Food additives can kill them. Frequent air travel, work outs, coffee breaks, air pollution, food irradiation and poor sleep - all kill enzymes. No wonder we are enzyme deficient! So eating raw, live, enzyme-rich foods is more than just a weight loss or digestion issue - it affects your whole life, your whole being. In fact, youll even be happier - and have more fun!
