Raw Living Foods – What Are They?

Raw Living Food Gives Us The Power To Change…

• Only sprouted raw foods are 100% alive. These are biogenic foods and therefore the most powerful foods, having life force of the germ still intact.
• Un-sprouted raw foods are in the process of deterioration, due to enzymatic actions.  These are bioactive foods, they are ripe, mature foods, but they do not have the power of the biogenic foods
• Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F or 41C).
• Heating food over 118 degrees F or 48 C destroys the vast majority of the enzymes in raw foods
• 120 degrees F or 49 C enzymes are non-existent in the food and therefore it is cooked food.
