The "Vitality" diet to regain energy

Over the centuries, and with the advent of technology, the methods of preparing our meals have increased considerably. While our ancestors mainly ate raw foodToday, we are in an era that advocates overcooking with temperatures that can reach over 250 degrees.

High temperature ovens, horizontal barbecues, microwave ovens, or the classic saucepan that will boil your food or the eternal frying pan that will brown at very high temperatures, our utensils are constantly evolving. This evolution is certainly practical, and manufacturers are constantly seeking to make life easier for consumers.

We, the loyal customers, who buy these everyday products to make things go faster, so that our stressful days are not disturbed any further. In short, we make life easier, of course, but do we take care of our plate?

Absolutely not!

We lack energy. And the proof is there: in our daily lives, seeing people tired from the moment they wake up, people completely exhausted by a day's work and reclusive children who no longer run around in nature as they used to... Nature provides us with everything we need to live with vitality and energy and yet we waste it all.

What a waste don't you think?

By eating raw fruits and vegetables, we also absorb the energy from these consumables. Every food that grows in the earth is alive, it is full of such energy that we have our own too. By savoring a raw carrot, a freshly picked apple or a cauliflower still wrapped in its green leaves, we also get the vitality we need. And believe me, it is with pleasure that nature offers us this positive warmth.

 

What happens when we cook our food?

The longer we cook our food at high temperatures, the more we destroy it:

  • From 50 degrees, some essential enzymes are destroyed
  • From 60 degrees, the vitamin C is totally destroyed
  • From 80-90 degrees, vitamins B and E are destroyed
  • From 100 degrees, precipitation of mineral salts, made non assimilable
  • Above 120 degrees, destruction of almost all vitamins

Which method should be adapted then?

The raw food diet is a diet that can be used as a cure but that remains problematic in the long term. Many people will say the opposite, but I remain convinced that everyone must find a way of eating that is adapted to his or her body. There should not be a single rule, a single ideal mode. This would be utopian and each person reacts differently to this or that diet anyway.

Let's stop believing that there is a perfect way to eat. NOT, these ways we eat have all their advantages but also the disadvantages that follow them.

In order to set up a vitalizing type of "diet", it is advisable to alternate raw and cooked foods and to vary the cooking methods. By alternating raw and cooked foods, we can enjoy the benefits of fruits and vegetables without disturbing the body.

 

Energy in our plate, it is quite possible

Recommended cooking to preserve a maximum of nutrients and therefore vitality and energy

  • Low temperature cooking
  • Soft steam cooking
  • Steaming

Forget the microwave which destroys all the energy and nutritional content of the food, pressure cooking which kills all the vitamins in a few seconds, cooking in large amounts of water which also eliminates the nutrients and vitamins and of course we do not recommend frying, barbecuing or grilling which generate toxic fumes that are harmful to health

Finally, don't forget that to benefit from a healthy plate rich in energy, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, it is recommended to add sprouted seeds. The germination process increases the energy potential of the plant
