RAW FOOD DIET – WHY ELIMINATE DAIRY

Dairy is one of the most mucus forming food we can consume – mucus is the body’s way to protect itself from unwanted toxins. 

Cow’s milk is meant to grow a 2.5 ton calf!  One of the elements in cow’s milk is casein, a major ingredient in one of the strongest wood glues on the market!  ………..and THIS is meant to make us ‘healthy’?!

The surface of the digestive tract that is designed to absorb the nutrients from the food we eat becomes covered with a mucoid plaque (film) that protects our blood from toxins that would make us severely sick if absorbed.  Our body tries to rid itself of these toxins through whatever outlet it can.  It uses the nose (allergies and sneezing), the lungs (asthma and other bronchial conditions), and the skin (rashes, outbreaks, soreness) as outlets for these toxins. 

Unfortunately this same film doesn’t allow us to absorb any nutrients.   Over the years the mucoid plaque gets thicker and harder and we become under-nourished.  Do you ever question why you feel more tired as you age, and why the need for more vitamin/mineral supplementation escalates?

By eliminating dairy, numerous health conditions (e.g. asthma, allergies, rashes etc.) clear up quickly and completely. 

If we stay on a raw food diet this plaque can dissolve completely and our assimilation of nutrients, minerals and amino acids increases substantially!

Some people do not want to eliminate dairy all together and for those people who fall in this category, exchanging cow’s dairy for raw goat dairy is a healthier choice as goat’s milk is easier to digest and doesn’t have the same make-up as cows dairy – the make-up that makes us toxic.  Unpasteurized, raw goat cheddar style cheese is an excellent exchange for normal cow’s milk cheddar cheese……and a HEALTHIER choice.

HOW IMPORTANT IS COMBINING YOUR FOOD PROPERLY?

I often get questions from my students, friends, and other researchers of healthy diets about proper food combining.  They have heard, as I am sure you have, that it is not good to miss-combine foods.

It takes longer to digest starches, fats and proteins – if you consume fruit (a fast digesting food) while you’re still digesting the heavier fats, starches and proteins, the fruit will start to ferment (fruit uses different stomach acids to digest, and your internal body temperature is typically 98.6 degrees) causing gas, putrification, and toxins which is harmful to your body, to your health.

Properly combined raw foods will ease digestive processes and create the environment for perfect:

Absorption

Assimilation

Digestion

Elimination

The proper way to combine foods is clearly charted on the Food Combination Chart I provide you free to download from my website http://www.sensationalrawfooddiet.com/food-combining-chart.html

Post it on your refrigerator for easy reference.

It is always best to consume fruits on an empty stomach and/or by themselves PRIOR to eating fats, proteins, or starches.  If you wish to slow digestion or maintain a longer balance of energy level, mixing fruit with a fat will achieve this.  Example: a trail mix of dried fruit and nuts will leave you feeling satisfied and you’ll maintain your energy level longer.  Consuming some greens with the trail mix will improve its digestibility as greens have the enzymes to help break down the fat in the nuts.

An exception to this food combining guideline is when you’re blending or juicing drinks. 

The secret to incredible energy, beauty, health and fitness is through efficient digestion and a clean colon.  When you properly combine raw foods you get efficient digestion and a clean colon……..AND……all the benefits described above!

Most people do not know the proper way to combine foods or truly WHY they should be concerned about it.  I hope you found this information helpful.
