Cooked Food vs. Living Food

When food is cooked, which is what we have learned to do over thousands of years, cook our food (now we even "zap" it in the microwave, but we'll cover that another day); we are destroying the enzymatic activity of the food. The enzymatic activity of the food is where the life is in the food. Do this experiment if you never have before. Get some carrots, five to be exact.

Place the first carrot and cut about one and one half inches off the top of the carrot and place it in a dish/jar of water. Take a second carrot and boil it in water. The third take and cook in a steamer. The fourth carrot, place in an oven at say 250 degrees and cook it. Now take your fifth carrot and microwave it. You have cooked these last four carrots but I want you to take and cut off the top at about one and a half inches and place them in some water. Watch for a few days to see which of the five carrots grow.

Do the cooked carrots grow? No, they do not. You will find that only the carrot that has not been cooked remains alive and a living food.

The point for us is to change the fuel, which we are injecting into our bodies. When we change the fuel from our basic Standard American Diet of basically dead food to living and life-giving foods we are also bringing life into our physical bodies. God designed it this way in the very beginning if you will recall. He designed it this way because we are a living being. No dead food will ever be of help to a miraculous self-healing body that was designed by God. We need to be eating living food.

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." - Genesis 2:7

"And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food." - Genesis 1:29
