Israel Gone Raw

What are Raw/Living Foods? 

Raw/Living Foods are those foods that have been not heated over 115 degrees F. Therefore, they contain enzymes.  In cooking food, the action of the heat destroys precious enzymes and the food can then become toxic to the body.  Raw/Living foods have a greater nutrient density than foods that have been cooked. 

What are Enzymes? 

These are energies which assist in the digestion of foods.  Besides digestion, they also assist in the absorption of food.  Those who are overweight have a problem in the absorption and assimilation of food. 

What Foods  are Consumed on a Raw/Living Foods Plan?

All of our G_d given foods which include a full spectrum of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Is this kind of regime boring?

Not on your life!  This is NOT a diet of carrot and celery sticks.  Nor is this a "diet."  A diet connotes one of sacrifice and this is certainly not a plan of sacrificing anything.  It is a re-education of food which teaches you how you can incorporate new techniques of food preparation into your daily routine.  Having your cake and eating it too is not unrealistic.  We teach you how to prepare many of your favorite foods in just a different way. 

What Results have been gained from this kind of food design plan?

Weight loss, migraines, drop in blood pressure, ankle swelling, clearer skin, relief from asthma, lower cholesterol, relief from allergies, ceasing of depression and mood swings, greater energy, ease in joints, acid reflux gone, opening of energy channels and length of stamina in exercise.  The above are just a few examples of results that folks have experienced on Raw/Living Food Design Plans. 

 So, How Do I Start? 

It can be as simple as incorporating eating more fruits and veggies into your daily eating food design.  To receive professional guidance from the Israel Gone Raw Staff, please email or call the numbers below.  A staff member can guide you through an eating design that is not only beneficial to you and your family in many ways, but will enhance your lifestyle for years to come.

          Asian Cucumber Salad*

4 Cucumbers

1 Red Bell Pepper

handful Wakame(soak)

Asparagus (if in season)

2 dried Shiitakes--soak

Spiralize the cukes and then julienne the red pepper. 

Slice the shiitakes into small bits

Sauce--  1 1/2 Tsp. Sesame Oil

            1 Tsp  Tamari or shoyu

            Juice from 1/2 Lemon

            Mix or blend dressing ingredients to your taste add water

or if you desire a thicker dressing, add tahini. 

Mix into Pasta salad.  This is very impressive to bring to potlucks and other events and would compliment a "Sauteed" or Un Stir Fry Vegetable dish.
