    Recipes for Life Introduction

    Discover two specific diet plans that could be beneficial in the way you feel. The Raw Food Diet and the Wheat-Free Diet are both contained in this special cookbook, giving you double the recipes on a healthier way of life. Designed to introduce you to more natural ways of eating, and how to prepare delicious meals, there are also tips, menus and alternative ingredients, to help pave the way.

    Different pictures may come to mind when hearing the term 'raw food'. Lettuce that rabbits eat, a pink piece of steak, or grain that is growing in a field, are examples of what some people imagine, as being 'raw food'. Raw food can also take on a more sophisticated name, such as living food, or vegan diet. However you wish to classify this diet, its popularity is growing in leaps and bounds, across the country. While Westerners have been conditioned to believe that any food that is uncooked and unprocessed, is also unhealthy, much of the rest of the world knows the real truth.

    Consuming raw foods, as nutrition, is as old as time, itself. It was only after fire was discovered, that a new taste began to form. Over the centuries, different diets have emerged that combine some type of cooking or no cooking at all. The Far East is a good example of how using raw foods, with very little cooking, has stayed alive and beneficial. Exploring the possibilities of healthier diets, using only raw and wild foods, has been an interest of many scientists, with good results.

    A Wheat-Free diet is perfect for those diagnosed with gluten allergies or intolerance. Even if you are suspect to having signs of a negative reaction to gluten, this diet could be just what you have been looking for. Digestive problems, tiredness, depression, erratic menstrual cycles and joint pain are some of the leading indicators of being gluten-intolerant.

    Wheat-free cooking can become part of your lifestyle, in more ways than one. Cholesterol lowering, more energy, improved mood, weight loss or maintenance, clearer skin, and controlling celiac disease, are a few of the assets that can be gained by trying to live your life without gluten. More debilitating conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, and heart disease, have also been noted, as improved, when a better diet that contains fresh foods and gluten-free products are part of your life.

    Ever since chemical preservatives were first introduced in the 1940s, there has been a significant decrease in the enzymes and vitamins, contained in foods. While packaged foods are more convenient and have a longer shelf life, they are far less healthy than unprocessed raw foods.

    While not as simple as opening a can or tossing a frozen dinner in the microwave, several benefits are noticed, almost immediately. Some of these negative symptoms can include, feeling sluggish and tired, being more susceptible to illness, developing allergies, and weight gain. These are just a few of the effects that food that has been filled with preservatives and additives can cause. Although the verdict is still out on more complex medical conditions, such as cancer and digestive diseases, it is a known fact that these two horrific diagnoses have become common place over the past 50 years. Thought to be contributed by a lack of vitamins and too many chemicals, incompatible with the human body, getting back to natural, raw basics seems to be an answer worth pursuing.

    You may notice that there is little sugar, flour or wheat products listed in these cookbooks. That's because these items have been refined and processed for use. However, there are other sources of natural foods that can be used as a replacement for empty calories. More and more people are turning to substitutes of sugar and wheat products due to allergies or diabetes. Leaning how to incorporate items such as flax seed mill, kelp powder, and nutritional yeast will provide the ability to form wholesome, gluten-free meals.

    The hardest part of starting a Raw Food Diet, or a Wheat-Free Diet, is finding all of the necessary ingredients that are needed. Not that most are difficult to locate, but they may be foreign to your conditioned way of shopping for food. Health food stores and the Internet are wonderful sources for finding those products that are not frequently found in grocery stores. Consider this a new adventure in building a new life that provides the freedom of enjoying an active and healthy future.

    The change from old eating habits may be hard to break, at first. Start out slow by changing to a raw food diet by 25%, then 50%. Before you know it, your body will not be craving the sweets and breads, but vegetables and thick fruit smoothies. The recipes contained in this eBook are simple, yet creative. Great ideas for lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks and breakfast will have you looking forward to a new taste, each day. A helpful planner is included to get you off on the right foot in balancing your food needs for the day. After a couple of weeks, you will find it fun to come up with your own menus.

    Find delicious raw food meals that are free of harmful additives and simple to make. Find out why Quinoa is a little known super food for eliminating glucose. The prep work can be a bit more extensive than opening a can, but the results are well worth it. Your body will take no time, at all, in showing positive results when being fed vitamin-rich foods, as were intended. Chapters are categorized for easy reading and will give you choices of unique wheat-free, gluten-free and fresh food suggestions, plus how to prepare.

    Join the growing, health-conscious, crowd that has found a better way of living, using a simple approach. The idea for a raw food diet may not be new, but the time is right and the menu choices huge. Use this cookbook to make your selection of a raw food diet or a wheat free diet, and start your way to a healthier system.

    Section 1: Raw Food Cookbook Introduction

    The raw food diet is rapidly gaining in popularity, both as a short term cleanse and as a lifestyle. In any major city (and quite a few mid-sized cities as well), there are several raw food restaurants to choose from, exposing ever more people to the benefits of raw foods as well as educating the public that a raw food diet doesn’t have to mean being consigned to glumly munching on salad after salad.

    As you’ll learn in this cookbook, you can enjoy a widely varied raw food diet, although it does take some creativity and a willingness to do a little bit of work. You will have to do a lot of your own cooking, but raw food adherents are more than convinced that the extra time spent in the kitchen more than pays for itself in the form of better health.

    One of the scientific concepts underpinning the idea of eating raw is that the process of cooking most foods destroys much of their nutritional content. Even heating most foods to relatively low temperatures of around 120 degrees Fahrenheit is enough to cause the
