Why Juicing And Raw Foods Make Sense
Food Matters – You Are What You Eat If you have yet to see this documentary, released October 2009 it is worth seeing and probably worth watching twice.
“Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food” – Hippocrates. This message from Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician and founding father of modern medicine is the theme in this controversial new documentary from Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.
Food Matters examines the trillion dollar ‘sickness industry’ and provides some scientifically verifiable solutions for preventing illness and for overcoming illness naturally with vitamins, superfood, and raw food.
Modern farming leads to nutritionally depleted soil, which leads to nutritionally, depleted foods. Fertilizers replace only three of the fifty-two minerals and nutrients that the human body needs and then we add chemical additives to preserve the food. Unless you are eating organic fruits and vegetables of course. The majority of Americans rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat the ills of our malnourished bodies. Is it any wonder that a lot of people don’t feel good?
In this film, several leading experts in nutrition and natural healing are interviewed and claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but with the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification, chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer can be treated successfully.
The experts interviewed make the point that not all health problems require costly, major medical attention. They suggest that many alternative therapies can be more effective, more economical, and less harmful. One startling fact is that less than 6% of graduating physicians in the USA receive any formal training in nutrition, maybe this is the reason that “boosting health with nutrition” has not been focused on within the medical community, instead the main focus has been on fighting disease with medicine. This has lead to medical consumerism, “a pill for every ill thinking” and a really big pharmaceutical industry.
The film makers present a lot of factual information that prove the power and importance of the enzymes found in raw food or fresh juices– for us, juicing is an awesome solution to getting our diet and nutrition on track and then staying on track. Eating raw fruits and vegetables does not have to be distasteful, difficult or inconvenient.
This film resets the focus, it asks us to rethink the belief system that was fed to us by the modern medical and health care establishments and consider the concept that if you nourish the body, the body fixes it’ self. As Hippocrates pointed out thousands of years ago, the body heals itself.
This documentary presents a clear message – Food Matters, maybe more than we ever considered. The hope is that with better information, people will make better choices.
