Benefits
and Recipes for Raw Food Eating
"Let
food be thy medicine"
High
acidity can affect all major body systems, especially
the digestive, intestinal, circulatory, respiratory
and immune systems. A pH-balanced environment maintains
proper metabolic function and
allows the body to function optimally.
ACID
PRODUCING FOODS to stay away from:
(especially during cleansing )
Chocolate
Drinks (alcohol, beer, wine, coffee, sugar sweetened
fruit juice, black tea,
Water which is carbonated or not filtered
Milk (and Dairy products)
Fruits (glazed or sulfured)
Processed grains (wheat products, corn and cornstarch,
cereals, cakes and
pastries, bread and crackers, dried beans, pasta,popcorn,
Meats (those contaminated with chemicals, hormones
etc.) Eat good meat sparingly.
Oils that are hydrogenated (flax seed or extra
virgin cold presses olive oil are the best)
Pepper (black)
Processed Foods (canned or, micro waved)
Salt (iodized)
Sweeteners (white sugar, artificial sweeteners,
fructose which is a
concentrated corn syrup, refined beet and cane sugar,
saccharin, aspartame)
Tobacco
Vinegar (distilled)
ALKALINE
FOODS that balance your pH level
Apple cider vinegar
Beans, fresh
Dried fruit, non-sulfured (dates, figs, raisins, etc.)
Fruit juice, fresh squeezed
Green foods (algae, spirulina, chlorella, barley grass,
kale, spinach, romain lettuce, etc.)
Herbs (fresh or dried), Herbal teas
Garlic
Maple syrup, pure and grade B or C
Millet (grain)
Nuts, especially almonds (enzymes become present when
soaked in water 3 hours,
which helps the system to digest and assimilate better.
Drain and refrigerate)
Oil (flax seed, grape seed oil, or cold pressed extra
virgin olive oil)
Potatoes and yams (in moderation)
Vegetables, fresh (raw or steamed slightly)
Vegetable juice, fresh squeezed
Vegetable soup or broth
Seeds (flax, pumpkin, squash, sunflower soaked in water)
Seasonings (natural, salt-free, chemical-free- see the
Amazing Wheat Book for 130
blends)
Sea vegetables (dulse, kelp, seaweed, etc.)
Sprouts (all types)
Stevia (natural herbal sweetener)
Water (purified, non-carbonated, mineral, or distilled)
Wheat grass juice
Whey (goat only, not cow)
A
basic rule to follow in acquiring an alkaline diet:
80% of the food you eat should be raw, or steamed
slightly, using as many dark green
vegetables as you can; sprouts are excellent; Nuts are
good, soak them to bring back the
enzymes (3 hours or less, depending on the type of nut);
use a variety of vegetables.
You may need some basic recipes to get started and then
you can create your own blends for soups, salads etc.

in this CD)

HEALTHY
SUBSTITUTES FOR COMMON AMERICAN MEALS
using Whole and/or Raw foods for Alkaline
eating
There
are many places on the internet to find free recipes
and information on how to prepare tasty foods that are
not cooked. One in particular is www.rawfoods.com
I have included a few basic recipes that I have created
to help you make an easier transition from a Meat, Potatoes
and Gravy menu, to life giving tasty raw foods; (i.e.
a Pine Nut dressing that can take the place of mayo
and ranch dressing; satisfying rice, cauliflower etc.
to replace meat and potatoes; a sweet nut cream that
replaces half and half and used to make cream pies;
crackers and tortillas in place of bread;etc.)
Testimonials:
"I
like everything I have tasted of yours! I especially
love your banana cream pie! It was very creamy and in
the Raw Food world so close to the real thing. Your
sweet nut cream is better than any dairy cream I have
tasted. Another favorite of mine is your raspberry chocolate
drink.Your candies and fruit bars are delicious, my
children would eat them all day. I look forward to trying
all your recipes" - Rachel Talley
"Your
wraps are addicting, and I have made them continually
since you showed me how to make them. They are filling
and really satisfy. It is a quick healthy way to eat.
Thank you for sharing this with me. " - Maile Roberts
"Your
mincemeat pie has the traditional flavor we love. You
have taken out the ingredients that are not good for
you and left the good! We look forward to making it
often." - Deborah Andrus
