Enzymes are the biological catalysts that trigger off millions of chemical
changes that occur in the human body, every second of our lives.
However, cooking destroys enzymes in all vegetable and animal food,
starting with a temperature of 48 degrees for more than half an hour.
The food enzymes assist our own digestive enzymes, easing the load
on the organs that produce our enzymes, particularly the pancreas.
Eating cooked food enlarge the pancreas due to overwork.
The enzyme content of organically grown food, allowed to ripen naturally,
is much higher than from conventionally grown foods.
When raw-food enzymes reach the bowel, the friendly gut bacteria are
binding any oxygen that is present, thus eliminating the aerobic conditions
in which harmful bacteria grow and causing putrefaction, toxaemia and
ultimately degenerative diseases, including cancer.
When the harmful bacteria are gone, the beneficial bacteria like
acidophilus and bifido bacteria can flourish and carry out their vital
functions, including the manufacture of B vitamins, digestion of fiber
and production of natural ‘antibiotics’ against pathogenic bacteria.
When our diet is based on meat, the dominant gut bacteria are
putefactive and toxins, such as ammonium compounds are produced.
These toxins irritate the bowel wall, setting the stage for cancer.
When they enter the bloodstream, they add significantly to the total
body load of toxins, which leads to toxaemia.
Also, the natural synthesis of vitamin B12 in the gut is inhibited and we
can become dependent on B12 from animal sources.
Animal fat deposits on the gut wall may interfere with the digestion and
absorption of calcium and other water-soluble minerals.
WE will be better of getting our nutrients from fresh vegetables & fruits,
nuts and seeds. There is little doubt that our bodies are designed for
diets that are basically vegetarian.
There are many advantages for people on a vegetarian diet.
According to statistics, people on a vegetarian diet are healthier and
live longer than meat eating people. They also have 40% less change
of dying from cancer and reduce the incidence of breast cancer by 80%,
according to the British Medical Journal.
