How can you begin implementing live foods into your lifestyle?

First, Mark recommends drinking one to two ounces of wheatgrass juice daily (freshly juiced is the ultimate, as the enzymes dissipate within 20 minutes) One ounce of wheatgrass juice contains the same amount of vitamins and minerals as 2 1/2 lbs of vegetables. "In the future, man will use the sunshine elements of plants to regenerate and heal the human body." -George Crile, M.D. Wheatgrass is believed to be a drink from the fountain of youth. Mark recommends fruits, seed/nut milks, and smoothies for breakfast, green salads with avocado for lunch, and seed pates, fermented foods (veggie kraut), and salad for dinner. As director of the Ann Wigmore Institute in Puerto Rico, Mark witnessed many profound transformations of people with lupus, candida, cancer, food allergies, colitis, arthritis, diabetes, AIDS and many other dis-eases. Mark is available for personal consultations to customize a nutritional lifestyle program for your body's needs and constitution. Namaste.

What is live food?

Live food is food that is rich in enzymes, vitamins, and life force (i.e., Prana, Chi, Light, Consciousness, Pure Energy, Ki, Free Energy, Cosmic Energy). Foods containing the most life force are organically grown without the use of pesticides and herbicides. Living foods are sprouted seeds, nuts, and legumes, fruits, vegetables, seaweeds and fermented veggie krauts. A very important aspect of these foods is they must stay under 118 degrees F. or 40 degress C to maintain their life force. Foods heated above these temperatures lose their enzymes, vitamins and life force. Some benefits one receives in eating living foods are tapping into higher vibration, and self-healing on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. The healing and spiritual energies in the universe lie within.

Live foods enhance and open channels of energy (meridians) to flow freely within the bodies. Other benefits include feeling more energy, needing less sleep, strengthening the immune system, oxygenating the body and its blood, more flexibility, increased libido, feelings of great inner peace, self-love and compassion. Live foods are vegetarian and vegan. Choosing to include Live Foods in your lifestyle will create a very transformational space with the potential to change your life in a very powerful and positive way. Feel your feelings, acknowledge your emotions, breathe slowly and deeply, trust, remember, and know it’s all perfect. Be gentle and love self. Listen and trust intuition. Be open to magic and miracles.
