Nutrition is Physical Therapy on a Cellular Level - Radical Health

Raw fruits and vegetables support healing on a cellular level. They are rich in water, fiber, antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, and they provide a complete amino acid profile.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.

Enzymes support the chemical reactions in our body. Enzymes are destroyed when food is cooked.

Vitamins and minerals contribute to organ function.

Insoluble fiber is the “broom” of the digestive system, helping push digestive waste through the intestines.

Fruits and vegetables create alkaline conditions in the body, which is needed to offset an acidic system. The Standard American Diet (and even your average vegan diet high in processed food) creates a highly acidic terrain in those who eat it.

It’s easy to get bogged down in making sure we get enough micro and macronutrients in our diet, but it’s much simpler to eat a large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and to reduce our consumption of harmful over-processed, dead, denatured foods.

The highly structured water found in fresh fruits and vegetables is known as the “fourth phase of water,” not H2O but H3O2, also known as living water. It’s more dense and alkaline than regular water, has a negative charge, and can hold and deliver energy like a battery. Proper hydration promotes clean lymph and clean blood.

Here are some fruits and vegetables with the highest water content.

Cucumber : 96% water
Lettuce : 95.6% water
Young Green Coconut : 95% water
Tomatoes : 94% water
Watermelon : 92% water
Grapefruit: 91% water

Help your injuries heal by supporting your body from the inside. You are what you eat.
