Living Foods and Why!!

Wheatgrass, buckwheat and sunflower greens!! Healthy and delicious!

I originally got involved in the living food community in 1998 through a book by Viktoras Kulvinskas, and shortly thereafter (‘99) took a series of courses being given by the Boutenko family on becoming a Living Food Gourmet Chef.  I have been a certified Living Food Chef  and have personally maintained around a 75% living food diet since 1999.  I personally have not tried to adhere to 100% living foods only because I feel the mental stress that can result is possibly more toxic then eating foods that are cooked.  I have found in life that moderation and flexibility are extremely important in all things, diet and exercise are no exception.  In an ideal world, and an ideal environment I would have to say that a 100% living food diet would be the ultimate way of existing, but with the environmental toxins that exist in today’s world the extreme sensitivity that results from a 100% living foods diet can be overwhelming.  I have found that eating mostly living foods coupled with proper exercise and right meditation/prayer leads to a life that is balanced, full of joy and energy, is self and earth sustaining, and is abundantly rich in smiles.  There is nothing complicated about living a life that is symbiotic with the environment and the people whom we share our world with.
