Making Your Food Count and Making What You Eat Work For You
'Making it count' is what is important when it comes to consuming food for nutrition, perhaps even more so than making the taste appeal to the palette.
In the modern age, when most people understand the benefits of eating raw food, we still cling to our old habits of consuming quantities of nutrition free guk in the form of mashed potatoes; boiled greens; roasted root vegetables; baked apples and the kids' all time favourite - French fries.
Despite our knowledge as a society that the nutritional value of food is drastically reduced in the cooking process, we continue to serve school lunches hot and less than hearty and fool ourselves that we are providing our kids with some kind of weird 'internal central heating system'.
Firstly, children do not need to be heated internally: they have an efficient and natural system of retaining their desired body temperature without cooked foods being consumed.
In fact, the natural nutrition found in raw foods is more likely to enable a child's metabolism to work more efficiently, thus producing a perfectly balanced internal environment.
Secondly, children have a natural preference for raw food; that is until adults convert them to believing that only cooked vegetables are fit for humans.
The majority of adults believe that cooked food is the preferred method of cuisine for every civilised person and this prejudice has been encouraged over many years by the persistence of Michelin star restaurants.
Nowadays, however, prominent World class chefs are beginning to experiment with uncooked foods, producing spectacular dishes for starters, main courses and desserts.
Uncooked food is pioneering a new wave of health for those who have an interest in promoting a better eating plan for their families and also for those who have lived on cooked food for years and have found themselves battling with a number of life threatening illnesses now thought to be caused by lack of nutrition.
The raw food option is easy to adopt and requires minimal skill, unlike conventional cooked food preparation.
The outset requires investment in an efficient juicer (nobody can manage to eat the amount of raw food required daily to make a difference in their diet), a source of good quality, organic vegetables and fruits and a supply of healthy 'superfoods' and supplements.
The rest is a question of fitting a juiced raw food option into your daily routine and making what you eat work for you by producing higher energy levels and better general health.
As the natural nutrients found in raw food begin to produce better health, most people experiment with raw food recipes and eventually become expert at producing delicious raw food meals, letting go of their 'cooked in' prejudices.
Using a juicer efficiently can make the difference to the taste and texture of raw foods and transform simple menus into delicious and irresistible dishes that completely change cooked food habits forever, for children and adults.
