8 minute clip from FOOD MATTERS DVD

FOOD THAT MATTERS 8 MIN CLIP

"Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food" - Hippocrates. 

That is the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film Food Matters from Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.

With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and our tendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what's wrong with our malnourished bodies, it's no wonder that modern society is getting sicker. Food Matters sets about uncovering the trillion dollar worldwide 'sickness industry' and gives people some scientifically verifiable solutions for overcoming illness naturally.

"With access to better information people invariably
make better choices for their health..."

In what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the filmmakers have interviewed several leading experts in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer.

The focus of the film is in helping us rethink the belief systems fed to us by our modern medical and health care establishments. The interviewees point out that not every problem requires costly, major medical attention and reveal many alternative therapies that can be more effective, more economical, less harmful and less invasive than conventional medical treatments.

Travelling Raw - The adventures of travelling raw foodies!: Benefits of Juicing

Travelling Raw - The adventures of travelling raw foodies!: Where do you get your calcium?

Travelling Raw - The adventures of travelling raw foodies!: Where do you get your calcium?

Where do you get your calcium?

I was just asked an interesting question!! Where do I get my calcium!

Well here are just a few foods:

Calcium can be found in raw foods such as carrots, carob flour, green leafy vegetables such as kale, mustard greens, collards, parsley, turnip greens, beet greens, and dandelion greens, for the adventurous. Legumes such as sprouted lentils are also a good raw food source, and fresh string beans give an ample supply of calcium . Nuts such as almonds, filberts, and brazil nuts are an excellent raw food source of calcium . Blackstrap molasses is very high in this important nutrient. One way to consume this is to simply put a tablespoon in a half cup of warm water, and enjoy. Sea vegetables such as arame, dulse, hijiki, kelp, and wakame are also good sources, and add an many other trace minerals as well. Sesame and sunflower seeds are another raw food source of calcium .

For those who enjoy fruits, (and who doesn't?) persimmons, currants, figs, and blackberries, to name a few, also provide a most enjoyable way of getting your calcium .

The benefits of Green Smoothies:

Another reason green smoothies are such a great option is that if you are using a high power blender to make them, the fruits and veggies will be broken down to a size that is easily assimilable by the body. For recipes, read Victoria Boutenko's book Green for Life or Google "green smoothie recipes". The basic idea is to start with 40% dark greens like kale, arugula, spinach, etc... and then mix in 60% fruit of your choice. Then work up to 60% green and 40% fruit.

The health benefits of green smoothies are:

1. According to Vitoria Boutenko in her book, 12 Steps to Raw Foods, "when blended well, most of the cell walls in the greens and fruits are ruptured, making the valuable nutrients easy for the body to assimilate. Green smoothies literally start to get absorbed in your mouth."
2. They are full of fiber which is very important for good colon ecology and elimination of waste.
3. They are chlorophyll rich. Chlorophyll is the blood of the plant and it is the molecule that most closely resembles human blood. It purifies our blood. It fights bad breath and bad body odor. It is an immune enhancer. It can help to correct anemia. It will rejuvenate your body.
4. They give you much more than the minimal requirements of fruits and veggies recommended by the American Cancer Society.
5. They are high in antioxidants and phytochemicals.
6. They will help to bring down the acidity in your pH and make you more alkaline. Cancer does not grow in an alkaline body. In fact, most disease grows in an acid environment.

Green Smothie Recipe

2-4 bananas
2.5 cups pure water
5 leafs of kale or spinach or leafy green
Directions

   1.      Put all ingredients in a high speed blender.
   2.      Add enough water so that all ingredients are covered.
   3.      Blend well.
   4.      You may want to add a little more water if you like your smoothie thinner.

Eating Raw Food in the Winter, episode #590

Benefits of Juicing

We just purchased a new juicer! And we cant wait to get it!

And we got the daddy of all juicers theOscar 930 Pro Cold-Press Juicer

You can find some great deals on juicers at this site we just discovered;

Sprout.net.au

 

Benefits of Juicing

The regular consumption of fresh vegetable juice is one of the very best gifts that you can give to your body.

Freshly juiced vegetables (also referred to as fresh green drinks containing ingredients such as cucumber, celery, spinach, lettuce, sprouts, kale, pak choi, broccoli, cabbage, parsley etc.) give your body an instant boost of nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals in a form that the body can easily assimilate, absorb and digest – in fact, studies have shown that the nutrients from juiced vegetables are within our bloodstream within 30 minutes of consumption!

At the most basic level, juicing allows us to add so many more vegetables to our daily diet, and to up the amount of raw food we consume giving the body energy and boosting the immune system and the body’s cleansing process.

Green juices contain lots of chlorophyll which is incredibly effective in detoxifying our bodies. Chlorophyll can help make our bodies strong, detoxify the liver, can purify and help to rebuild our blood cells (as the molecular structure is very similar to haemoglobin which moves oxygen through our blood), remove mold, parasites and myco/exotoxins from the body and (as many, many studies show) can help prevent and remove cancer cells.

Since the juice are extracted at a low temperature it holds at least double the nutrients and living enzymes when compared with centrifugal juice extractor. 

Fresh juices are a very liquid food.Vegetables,fruits and particularly the juices are source of vital organic water.This “organic water” has great value.Enzymes are destroyed and the atoms are then converted into inorganic or dead atoms when juices have been cooked, processed, canned or pasteurized.

It is the plant that coverts inorganic water of rain and stream into life-containing atoms of vital organic water through vegetables and fruits. Most of the Pre-packed juices are processed  through Centrifugal system, so it losses nutritional value. 

Since Cold Press Juicer operate at speeds between 80 to 200 RPMs juice remains cold whereas in Centrifugal juicer it gets heated up as it operates at very high speed, 1000 RPMs. Because of this heat, oxidation takes place and enzymes gets broken down and lots of valuable nutrients escape from the juice.

Oxidation also occurs when juice is exposed to air,So it is advisable to drink the the juice as soon as it is prepared. 

The concept of drinking living juice was first introduced by Dr. Norman Walker (1874-1983). Walker declared that the enzymes in fruit and vegetables die at temperatures which exceed 42 degrees Celsius.

REVVELLATIONS ~ Celebrating Your Potential.

Revvell Revati will introduce you to many ideas and ways of being often not generally known and/or accepted by the mainstream. It is about living in freedom; choosing to be happy and joy-filled and possibly sharing new ideas not often encountered in our day-to-day lives. I will be interviewing authors and speakers on various topics and raw foodists on what that means to them. One thing I do with each person is find out where they came from; how did they get to where they are? Were they supported on their journey? What was their childhood like? These and other things will be asked to assist listeners in finding their potential. As I have done these interviews over the last months I have gotten emails from people telling me that because of one thing someone said, they have changed their lives and even created new livelihoods. It is amazing what will touch and inspire someone.

MOVIES / DOCOs

We have discovered so many amazing documentaries and movies on the Raw Food and Sustainable lifestyle!

Food Inc - Movie
Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

Fresh the Movie 

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.

The End of the Line

The End of the Line, the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans, In the film we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food.

No Impact Man

Colin Beavan decides to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for the next year.
It means eating vegetarian, buying only local food, and turning off the refrigerator. It also means no elevators, no television, no cars, buses, or airplanes, no toxic cleaning products, no electricity, no material consumption, and no garbage.

Go Further

GO FURTHER explores the idea that the single individual is the key to large-scale transformational change.
The film follows actor Woody Harrelson as he takes a small group of friends on a bio-fuelled bus-ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. Their goal? To show the people they encounter that there are viable alternatives to our habitual, environmentally-destructive behaviors.

Food Matters.
Includes interviews with David Wolfe. From the site: "After travelling the globe interviewing the world's leaders in Nutrition and Natural Healing we have acquired a mass of footage explaining the finer details of nutrition and treating disease naturally.

Blue Gold - World Water Wars

Blue Gold:World Water Wars examines environmental and political implications of the planet's dwindling water supply, and posits that wars in the future will be fought over water.
