Live Food—The Life is in the whole real live foods   Each one of us is given one mortal body to live in. We must take full responsibility to nourish our body and keep it healthy for as long as possible. Taking care of our health should be our #1 hobby…yes that’s it, a hobby, not a chore or an after thought but a true top priority. When we begin from a position of super health, everything and everybody around us benefits. We all know that without health, all the money and materiality we have accumulated is empty.   The nutritious foods found in the MIXX are natural, whole, pure and real/fresh. The closer food is to nature, the higher its nutritional value. There is a universal lifeforce within these holistic nutritious qualities of fruits, vegetables and herbs-spices, and it is that energy that gives life to your body. NOTE: Always choose pure, natural and whole foods over refined, bleached, polished, and processed foods with preservatives, artificial colors/flavors, or chemical additives of any kind. When you’re in the MIXX you can meet this challenge head on.   An unhealthy intestinal ecology is a potential vector for food allergies and sensitivities. The ecological balance of intestinal bacteria is primary for maintaining a healthy immune response in the gut and for the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier that is crucial for keeping toxins and antigens from “leaking” through. In my experience, individuals that suffer form food allergies and sensitivities, always have some measure of compromised intestinal ecology (dysbiosis & candida), a weakened gut immune system, and some leaky gut. Once we are able to restore a healthy ecology, build gut immunity, and repair a leaky gut, food allergies and sensitivities are minimized or disappear completely. One of the best ways to restore a proper ecology to the gut is by implementing fermented foods that are rich in cultures. VMIXX is one of the best sources of the beneficial organisms that improve the intestinal milieu. Now a recent study documents that microflora found in VMIXX could be a promising food in the prevention of allergies. Fermented fruit and vegetable-herb drink made from live bacteria cultures which are credited with having a ng history of health benefits. Research proves fermented produce contains bacteria which could help reduce allergic responses. The research indicated that drinking  flora-fauna  found in VMIXX may help to protect against some food allergies. According to the research, the microflora inhibits the allergen specific antibody Immunoglobulin E (IgE). IgE is involved in immune responses to inactivate organisms that might cause disease. Tests found that the amount of Ovalbumin specific IgE was reduced by a third.  Ovalbumin is allergenic protein found in egg whites which cause most allergies in young children. However, in the presence of allergens, it can also activate cells responsible for the release of histamine, a chemical which stimulates allergic responses, such as inflammation and constriction of airways.   Many chemicals added to commercially produced foods were never meant for human consumption.   The Wonders of Fruits, Vegetables-Herbs Holistic fruits, vegetables-herbs are natures provision, the best sources of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that our bodies require. Most have very high concentrations of one type or another vitamin or mineral that the body inherently needs.  When we consistently consume a variety of fruits, it provides the vitamins, minerals and enzymes our body requires to maintain its optimal form. Our body is designed to be self-regenerating.  When we fail to nourish it, when we are stressed, and when we abuse it by addiction or even because of the polluted air we breath, the cells in the body start to deteriorate, allowing degenerative disease. A diet that is rich in nutrition, coupled with a healthy lifestyle, can prevent many diseases, or even may reverse a condition.   The National Cancer Institute of the US has in recent years, been recommending five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. This recommendation was made based on their years of cancer research study on the abundance of nutrients found in fruits and vegetables, herbs-spices, that may not only prevent, but also cure many ailments. Researchers are continually searching and researching for chemicals in plants that can prevent and cure cancer. These plant chemicals, known as phytochemicals, have been found to prevent or cure some of the most deadly diseases, as well as some of the more common diseases, like cold, allergies, asthma, arthritis, etc. Most of these phytochemicals are known to be destroyed or removed by modern food processing techniques, including cooking. Thus, processed foods contain very little or almost none of the beneficial nutrients.   Why Fermentation There are many good reasons why you should get in the habit of consuming fermented produce on top of your intake of other fruits and vegetables. Here are some reasons you can benefit from predigested fruit and vegetable matter. As a result of our poor food choices over the years, most of us have bodies which have become weak in absorbing the nutrients that we need. VMIXX predigested the fruits and vegetables, herbs-spices so that they are readily bio-available and biodynamic allowing for easy assimilation before elimination from our body.   You will need 3-5 pounds of fresh live fruits and vegetables daily to obtain the optimal levels of nutrients needed for your body even more for healing and recovery. fermentation allows, you to accomplish this easily.   Fermentation releases sterols from indigestible fiber The nutrients we are after, are trapped in indigestible fiber. For example, when you eat a carrot, you are only able to assimilate 1% of the beta-carotene. But wonderfully, when your in the MIXX you are able to assimilate nearly 100% of the beta-carotene!   Easy digestion and assimilation Solid foods require many hours of digestion before any nutrient is made available to the cells. Juices are assimilated within 15 minutes of consumption, with very little effort on the part of the digestive system. Because it is in liquid form, the enzymes are not wasted to fuel its own digestion. As a result, the body can quickly distribute the much needed enzymes to other parts of the body to heal, build, restore and repair.   Cleansing Only with sufficient amounts of nutrients from fruits and vegetables, can the body cleanse the blood. Blood is life. By keeping our blood clean and loaded with nutrients, we can expect to live better and longer.   Alkali-genic foods Real live foods of alkaline nature extract toxic substances accumulated in the cells of the body and help in their elimination. Alkali-genic foods are considered cleansing, purifying, and healing. A diet rich in alkali-genic foods is much more necessary in illness. Illness is generally the result of acids accumulated in the body. An abundance of alkali foods neutralize and deactivate these acids. A diet including plentiful holistic nutrients, enzymes and microflora diminishes the resistance to the healing powers of the body.   A real live foods diet provides a plentiful supply of alkalis to the body. Real live foods therapy is a way of achieving optimal health and treating disease with mass quantities of raw vegetables and fruits and herbs. It not only can be a cure for disease but also can rejuvenate the body. When real food therapy is consumed in massive amounts, the organs such as liver, lungs, skin and kidneys can increase the capacity of their elimination healing and recovery powers. It gives rest to the gastro-intestinal tract. In other words you eliminate toxins. You heal and regenerate the body and functions but yet even increase its future ability to remain at optimal health.   Real live foods with fasting can make health restoration occur sooner by cleansing the bodily systems, while simultaneously rejuvenating. Instead of only drinking water, it is better and safer to go for alkali-genic holistic produce, in order to increase the possible healing effects. Mass quantities of whole real raw fruits and vegetables have rejuvenating effects on all organs and glands.   Whole raw fermented-delicious pulps - juices of real fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins minerals, trace elements, microflora and enzymes. They need no digestion and are instantaneously absorbed. Some vegetables stimulate insulin in the body to maintain good blood sugar levels, including-cabbage, cucumber, garlic, tomatoes and radish; which also contain antibiotic substances. Only Real whole fresh fruits and vegetables for the purest nutritional virtues. Never Canned or frozen vegetables and fruits, which can detrimental to health, so they must not be used.
