Within the past two years I had incorporated eating either cold (unheated if leftovers) meals, room temperature, slightly warm (not above Pasteurization temperature) food unless I really have to cook something hard like rice, or eggplant(not recommended to eat raw), etc.
The rationale behind is once you cook the food materials above a certain temperature you pretty kill most if not all the enzymes, nutrients (life force) etc, and end up eating “dead calories”.
So what I have been doing within that time period has been eating fresh and as raw as possible, non-gmo, organic food, absolutely NO preservatives and processed food unless the packaging explicitly states NO preservatives, etc. which is when I buy dehydrated fruits and canned fish if I don’t see anything fresh.
It doesn’t taste as good compared to eating “warmer” or even hot food, but oh well something’s gotta give.
I used to eat 3 meals a day that have to have rice in it, now I’m down to two meals a day with one meal cold (cereal/fruit bowl) and the other meal either cooked (better half) or uncooked with or without rice (quinoa substituted for rice), and I don’t even feel that hungry by the time I eat incorporating an 18 hour fasting (6 pm to 12 noon) and 6 hours eating the rest of the remaining time.
The down to two meals wasn’t even planned/intentioned. It just happened and feel great with lots of energy💪💪💪
I use an air fryer, they work fantastic and can cook or heat anything. I cook steak, chicken, vegetables, etc. in it. I think most of the nutrients are preserved with this method.
I didn’t want to purchase one but better half got one because it went on sale.
I was sold on it initially until, I came across information (links/articles NOT saved) that high dry heat can have a potentially carcinogenic effect especially proteins/meat which at that time made sense to me. Same effect as “grilling” over an open fire.
So far the air fryer iis still in the box unopened, like brand new, not even tested for close to 3 years now.😆😜😝
