Alive and Well is a 3-hour lecture and demonstration session offered to groups, companies and community organizations showing how employees and members can easily and dramatically improve their health, creativity, performance, and energy by incorporating living foods in their diet, without the need to buy expensive products or supplements. Through a simple lifestyle change, and by choosing certain foods easily available in food markets and even restaurants, we have experienced the following benefits of eating “live:”
- Increased energy, vitality and creativity;
- Healthy weight loss – each of us has lost 30 lbs;
- Fewer colds, aches and pains;
- Dramatic decrease in the number of sick days
- In one month, Leigh’s thyroid became naturally active after 15 years of slow functioning, and she was able to eliminate her thyroid medication;
- We have consistently kept all health indicators (blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, etc) in an optimal state.
In this demonstration, we’ll discuss the benefits of eating living foods and will teach you how to quickly integrate this in your life. We will show you one of the simplest ways to incorporate raw foods as part of your diet: green smoothies. You can prepare them in less than 10 minutes every morning and assure that you are taking in all the required daily portions of healthy fruits and vegetables necessary to keep you vibrant and free of disease.
“I was so impressed with the presenters’ information that I came home and immediately found the recipe for the raw ravioli. This morning I had a green smoothie for breakfast. In addition to the insights, the lovely women are the picture of health. Watching them, everyone must have been thinking, “Well, if I could glow just a little bit like that…?” – Jeanne – Arizona, March 2009
“I appreciated hearing about their experiences. They were honest, refreshing, and thought provoking. And the food was delicious!” – Morgana – Arizona, March 2009
“The demo/tasting was a great way to showcase how amazingly diverse cooking, or not, can be. I was impressed by the flavors, and textures achieved sans heat. “Raw” is definitely a new window into food prep that I’ll be exploring, and what a perfect complement to the CSA. Thank you Leigh and Helena for opening my eyes wide.” – Ed – Arizona, March 2009
“I was impressed by Leigh and Helena’s discussion of how this diet cleared up a lot of their health problems. Cooking is so ingrained in us that we don’t often think there is an option not to use heat in preparation of food. I was thinking how simple life could be with a diet like this and how much energy we could save if more people ate this way. In preparation for the demonstration, I had eaten raw foods for breakfast and lunch, too. I’ve been having problems sleeping at night, but that night, I fell asleep right away and slept through the night. Their presentation certainly made me decide to put more raw foods in my diet. Maybe not 80% yet because I’ve got some chicken and fish in my freezer, but it looks like I could wean myself away from those fairly easily. Thanks so much!” – Carolyn – Arizona, March 2009
“I absolutely loved the raw foods demonstration. I thoroughly enjoy piping hot food so I was a bit skeptical of raw foodism. With this demonstration, however, I realized some of the benefits of eating living food…including scrumptious, savory, and incredibly healthy dishes! I am excited to start incorporating a wider variety of raw foods into my diet. Thanks!” – Stephanie – Arizona, March 2009
