How to bring Nuts Alive the Raw Food way!

The RAW Facts

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds contain the genetic potential for starting a new life, and are endowed with sufficient nutrition to sustain their offspring. This, in turn, makes nuts and seeds a powerhouse of nutrition for us, providing beneficial fats, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates.

Nuts have a higher fat content than seeds do, where as seeds tend to be higher in iron. Both contain beta- carotene, B- complex vitamins, vitamins D and E, and calcium, and are excellent sources of vegeterian protein; in fact, by volume, nuts and seeds provide more protein than meat or milk. They contain phytosterols, or plant hormones, that have a structure similar to that of humane hormones and support the endocrine system and all its functions, including reproductive health. Raw nuts and seeds also contain lipase, an enzyme that helps the body digest fats.

Nuts and seeds can help regulate blood sugar levels, and also help clean and strengthen teeth and gums. They relieve constipation, have a "grounding effect, calm nervousness, and strengthen weakness. Nuts and seeds are excellent for bodybuilders, for those who work with their muscles, and for increasing sexual desire in both men and women.

Here are some tips and rules of the Raw food diet to follow:

Nuts help control fat and cholesterol levels in the body.
Eaten in small amounts 1/4 cup or 1 oz
No more than 6 ounces a day total
Soak for 8-12 hours
H20 double the amount of water
Soaking Helps with digestibility
Nuts can be soaked in or out of the refrigerator
Use them for recipes, snacks, in trail mixes, and baking.
