Organic Whole Foods Nutrition

The need to eat organic whole foods has become one of the basic tenets of a foundational shift to wellness. One of the very first areas to consider is to change your food intake to include a high percentage of raw whole foods. Why go raw? Raw foods are nutrient dense, digest better and are rich with key enzymes your body needs to be healthy. Cooking not only destroys valuable nutrients, it also kills enzymes that are needed to digest those nutrients properly.
