During my Acid Reflux distress I had read Natural Cures"They" Don't Want You to Know About. It was a stepping stone to where I am today. In the book he says that we do not eat enough living food or foods with active enzymes. Most of the food we eat today is processed, microwaved, pasteurized or cooked until there is nothing left that is living in the food. In Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life Brendan Brazier touches on the same subject and speaks of sprouting nuts, seeds, beans and grains and eating them in their living raw form. He also talks about the pH of food and our bodies. Our bodies should be more alkaline to operate properly and most of us have bodies that are in an acidic state. This interests me, but I have only begun to investigate and educate myself on the subject.
Lately, I have been adding more raw foods and fermented foods into my diet. Stores like Healthy Living in South Burlington have a whole section dedicated to raw foods. Here are a few of my favorite raw food brand names Lydia's Organics, Lulu's Raw Chocolate, Brad's Raw Chips, Ruth's Hemp Foods and Vega. They all make excellent products that are good for the body. Another website that has the most amazing raw recipes is Raw Amazing. I will let you know how things are as time goes on and who knows? You may be eating some of my "raw" recipes soon!
Hi there! I've been (mostly) vegan for over a year now, and was just recently diagnosed with GERD. My vegan diet was healthy, but full of Indian food, spices, coffee, and wine. I was hoping you could email me what vegan recipes have worked best for your GERD, and what other tips you can provide? I would sure appreciate it! You can reach me at happygoluckyvegan@gmail.com. Thank you!
