Back in the Garden of Eden the food supply was nutrient rich and fruits and vegetables were grown in rich organic soil void of chemicals and environmental toxins. These fresh, raw foods were bursting with nutrition.

People were not subjected to modern day technology, chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides. People enjoyed optimal health with little consideration for the foods that nourished the body.

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." Genesis 1:29

Fast forward 6,000 years later (more or less), we have drive-thru fast food restaurants on every corner, genetically modified organisms that we call food, and products made in laboratories with names that cannot be pronounced.

Sadly, this has produced diseases that were never heard of 50 years ago, as well as exacerbated those that have been around for a long time.

Ten years ago I learned about juicing raw vegetables and fruits and eating a diet full of nutrient rich foods, including sea vegetables, raw seeds and nuts. I feel like I am on a journey back to the garden! My health has improved, my skin has improved, and people tell me that I look great for my age. I also started supplementing with a barley drink full of live enzymes and minerals, as well as other nutritional supplements. The best thing I like about the juicing and the barley drinks is the quick absorption of the nutrients into my body. My body does not have to spend hours digesting food. This quick absorption rate helps speed up the cleansing process and building up of healthy cells.

If juicing is not your thing, then I would recommend eating as much of your diet in raw fruits and vegetables, seed, and nuts as possible. Take charge of your health, take charge of your life, and be the owner of your destiny!
