Raw Food Video
A video of Paul Nison giving a presentation on raw foods. The video quality is kind of blurry/spotty, but the content is great.
Take-aways from Paul's presentation
1.) Strive to eat a majority of "high quality foods." High quality foods possess these 4 characteristics…
Raw - Uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Ripe - Fully ripened fruits and vegetables contain more vitamins and minerals than unripe or partially ripened produce.
Fresh - Produce that is eaten close to the time it has been harvested is more beneficial than produce that has been sitting on a grocery shelf for 1-2 weeks before being sold. This is why local produce and local agriculture is highly favored. Local produce is fresher because it hasn't been shipped from halfway around the country/world, before making its way to your grocery/health food store.
Organic - Free of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and synthetic poisons.
2.) Sleep is another word for "healing." The blood goes through dialysis at night; the cleaner your blood, the less sleep you need (usually).
