Raw, Organic, Green and Good!

Eating a diet of over fifty percent raw and organic can greatly alkalize our bodies and give us the cutting edge over cancer and many other diseases.  David Wolfe, one of the specialists who speaks on Food Matters, an excellent introductory movie into changing your mind concerning nutrition, food and overall health and well-being, speaks of working towards a raw diet by making 51% of your food intake raw.  That is every meal should be at least 51% raw.

I've been doing that, going all raw until noon and having a 51% raw lunch and dinner, with raw snacks and plenty of water in between meals.

Here is an example of lunch:

The raw aspect consists of a tossed organic greens salad, topped with avacado and strawberry slices.  The dressing is cold-pressed olive oil, fresh squeezed lime juice and a dash of liquid non-gmo aminoes.

Included as cooked, but not at high temp, is a "gently" stir-fried mix of brocolli, seasoned with aminos, cooked in coconut oil with freshly pressed garlic and onion and a small amount of freshly grated ginger. Hint: not quite browning the garlic and onion add the garbanzos for one minute and remove, retaining the oil.  After cooking the brocolli for two minutes I remove these from heat and add the garbanzos back to the pan. A mixture of curry powder, nutritional yeast and cayenne are added to the garbanzos and after warming slightly, these are added to the brocolli.  A spicey taste complemented by the gently seasoned salad. 

Even the cooked portion of this meal is "gently" cooked and not for a lengthy time.  This is vegan, organic and includes Indian spices that are helpful to digestion and overall health.
