What will we choose? “Forks over Knives:”  “Pills over Foods,” 
We are not deficient in surgeries, we are deficient in a number of nutrients.

”Can a pill (vitamin C and beta-carotene or a supplement) create health?”
“No. Health is not in the individual nutrients, but in the whole foods that
contain those nutrients: plant-based foods."

"The message could not be simpler: eat as many whole fruits, vegetables and           whole grains as you can, and you will derive all of the benefits."

Why choose “Food for Life”?
“Plant-based diets meet or exceed recommended intakes of most nutrients, and         have the advantage of being lower in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol than      typical American diets, with measurable health benefits.”

Why choose “Living Foods”?                                                                                  “Through years of research Dr. Ann Wigmore discovered that all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals that the body needs are found within the foods we eat –    If these foods area prepared in such a way as to maintain or unlock their life-giving nutrients.”

Why Green for Life?
Victoria Boutenko researched the diet of chimpanzees and learned that they eat a variety of fruit & greens plus seeds and don’t have diabetes or Western diseases. Western diets of animal foods, oils and starches contain too little fruit or greens.

Why Living Food for Life?
The Living Foods Lifestyle believes food enzymes are essential for life.                          This means going beyond a leaf of iceberg lettuce on your sandwich or                choosing a side dish of coleslaw smothered in mayonnaise.

Chimpanzees with 99% shared genes with humans in the wild consume                            a diet with up to 50% fruit and 40% greens, plus seeds and pith (fiber). 
                     
What living food suggests is increase the quality and quantity of greens.
The Living Foods Lifestyle avoids preservatives, pesticides, and processed                 food with growth hormones, antibiotics and other unnatural additives.

 How can we eat more greens?
Victoria Boutenko in Green for Life suggests blending fruit and greens with                water or juice and an optional avocado. The Green Smoothie revolution started              by Victoria became #1 in cafés, juice bars, vegan restaurants and health retreats.

Videos by chefs and ordinary people offer endless varieties of green smoothies.              A physician in Oregon placed 25 volunteers on green smoothies for 30 days with           no change in daily diet. 16 patients overcame previously diagnosed conditions.
