Why eat mostly raw living foods when you follow The Menopause Fat Loss Approach you ask?

Well let me tell you!

Incorporating lots of raw dark leafy greens & vegetables into each meal is the best way for you to provide your body with a powerhouse of nutrients!

I mean don’t we all know that?

Sure we do, but why exactly is it so important?

Two words:  Chlorophyll and Enzymes.

Chlorophyll

All plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy.  Chlorophyll is the “blood” of plants and is actually very similar to the molecular structure of our own blood.

When we eat and drink chlorophyll filled veggies we add a boost of energy to our own bodies giving ourselves healing & detoxifying properties that ease inflammation and strengthen our immune system.  Chlorophyll works it’s magic every time it’s absorbed into our bloodstream.

Adding greens to your diet is one of the healthiest things we can do for our bodies.  The best way to do this is to include dark leafy greens, veggies, sprouts, green smoothies and green salads into your daily diet.

Eatings these chlorophyll rich foods floods our bodies with chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and oxygen!

A powerhouse of nutrients for your body. Yeah!

Enzymes

And then there are enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that are produced by all plant and animal cells. All cells require enzymes to survive and function.  They support everything from digestion to healing.

All raw fruits & veggies are filled with enzymes.

There are 3 main categories of enzymes: digestive enzymes, food enzymes and metabolic enzymes.  Each category of enzymes plays a key role in keeping us healthy and strong. We simply can’t live without them!

High temperatures destroy enzymes – therefore when we cook foods (heated over 118-120F) the enzymes in the food die. If our bodies can’t find enzymes in our foods, our body tries to find them from within but this can bring stress to our bodies that may results in us feeling tired, sluggish and/or looking more aged.

Also, as we age, we produce fewer enzymes so trying to find them within will be more challenging as we get older.  It’s important to nourish our bodies with lots and lots of enzymes on a daily basis.

Incorporating fresh raw vegetables & fresh fruits in your diet is a way to ensure you get enough enzymes to support your bodies functions.

Eat Lots of Raw Foods

Smoothies, green chlorophyll filled green smoothies and salads with lots of dark leafy greens, menopause fat loss friendly vegetables, sprouts, herbs, microgreens are a great way to flood your body with both enzymes and chlorophyll. This will help our bodies to digest, build and repair, reduce inflammation and strengthen your immune system.

Not to mention you will feel more alive and have more energy than ever before!

Not only that, the anti-inflammatory nature of eating dark leafy greens & vegetables helps your body to heal from the inside out, and following a program like The Menopause Fat Loss Method that is designed specifically for your women over 50 to address the root cause of why the weight is so stubborn - we are focused on decreases inflammation, bringing balance back to your hormones and reviving your metabolism.

Why?

Because that's what brings lasting weight loss results, reduces cravings, improves energy, clears the bloat and aches & pains for women over 50 who have been navigating the perimenopause/menopause rollercoaster.

Does that mean I shouldn’t eat cooked foods?

No, this doesn’t mean you shouldn't eat cooked foods – cooked foods are also essential, however it does mean for optimal health your plate should includes lots of fresh greens and raw menopause friendly dark leafy greens & vegetables.

What's most important is that you find the balance that works best for you and your body!
