Dead Food VS Alive Food
‘Dead food’ is the latest title given to food that has had the life packaged, preserved, or cooked out of it to the point where it has become void of virtually all nutritional value. The term essentially refers to processed food or food without nutrients. It is called dead because it has been refined to the point that it is bereft of minerals, vitamins, and fibres.
Examples of dead food include:
Processed food: Prepared items top this list: frozen meals, snacks and desserts. It also includes weird stuff like ketchup.
Fast food: this is the real sin bin and includes most people’s favourites such as french fries, cheeseburgers, milkshakes, hash browns and most fried foods.
Filler: This is everything we’re taught to love such as bread, white rice, pasta, sugar, chips and soft drinks.
All synthetic snack foods: This list includes cereals, chips and even some meat snacks which are considered dead energy and dead food.

These types of foods are not foods!!! They are a concoction of synthetically derived ingredients that have been mixed to make something that has flavour and a long shelf life. However, they actually do more harm than good to our health.
In recent times, these health depriving ‘foods’ have become so popular that they could be viewed as a staple in the typical western diets. As a result, we have seen an incredible rise in modern diseases like diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases, infertility, cancer and many more.
If we are eating dead food, we are not getting the energy our bodies need to make us vibrant. However, with a small change to our habits, we can switch to eating foods which are ‘alive’ and will provide us with vital fuel.
Live foods occur naturally in nature and include fruits and vegetables, which top the list of energy-filled foods.

Live foods are foods that are consumed fresh, raw and/or in a condition that is as close as possible to their original, vibrant, living state. The basic idea behind all live foods is to retain the very best that natural foods have to offer, including live enzymes, antioxidants and other nutrients.
Consider the difference between crisp red apples and beige, jarred applesauce; between green, ripe avocados and greyish reconstituted guacamole dip; between a piece of salmon sashimi and a frozen fish sticks; between sweet corn on the cob and a box of cornflakes.
Proper nourishment is one of the cornerstones to optimal health, and live foods provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally. These types of food not only contribute to your overall health but also your longevity.
When you consume foods that deliver the nutrients your body needs in an easy to digest form that your body can efficiently utilize, your health will thrive and you’ll feel amazing!
It’s important to take a common-sense approach when shifting your diet toward living foods. To avoid a massive, sudden detox and potential withdrawal symptoms (which could lead to an unhealthy junk-food binge), be sure to wean yourself from your regular diet gradually, as you incorporate more live foods into each meal.
