how do lipases enzymes work
Healing Disease, Diabetes, Cancer, and Fighting Obesity « Eye Of Raw
To forewarn, this post is quite long, but i suggest reading it in entirety. Most of your raw food questions will be answered, especially those on ailments.
In today's world we are dealing with many diseases and epidemics that we never once had to deal with. We seem to be downgrading as a society, with cancer, diabetes, and heart "disease" running rapid. We need to find the source of these problems. All of these issues can be traced back to the same dysfunction: Diet. Diet causes these issues, and diet can cure it. A diet high in vitamins and enzymes, as the Raw Food Diet, will tend to these issues. A diet that consists mostly of raw foods allows an individual to not only obtain optimal health, but gives the body everything it needs to fight off the sickness and disease our society faces today.
Raw Foods, by definition, are foods that have not been heated or processed in any manner and consist solely of whole foods such as nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. Temperatures of these foods should not exceed 118 degrees Fahrenheit, and dehydration temperatures should be kept below 104. The point of this is to keep all enzymes and nutrients intact so your body may receive all they have to offer. By processing and cooking foods, many important enzymes are destroyed and nutrients deteriorate that your body needs to defend itself and keep itself in good health.
Hippocrates once said, "Let thy food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be thy food". This is a statement that no one really lives by and many truly do not understand its meaning. Our food contains natural medicine, something we should all be consuming on a daily basis. When we are consuming our medicines, our bodies have what they need to heal what is wrong and fight off what is trying to take us down. For instance, wild lettuce (lettuce that has not been domesticated, you cannot find this in the grocery store) contains a milky white sap in the veins of the leaf that is considered a natural opiate. This sap does not actually contain any chemical compounds known as opiates, but it works in the body as one, activating the opiate receptors in your brain. Native Americans used the sap as pain relief. If we are consuming these foods, they will be present in our body and therefore we will be able to use them when our body needs it. By domesticating food, we have taken most of the wild and medicinal properties out of it. We have altered food in a manner so that it will produce different mutations of the same vegetables so we think we are eating a variety. When's the last time you've seen wild cabbage? While we are consuming foods that have no natural medicines in them, we must rely on other properties that can aid in our healing; the natural living enzymes and nutrients found in the food now available.
