Your Tissue Quality

Your Tissue Quality

Check out Your Tissue Quality

 

Take a look at your largest organ – your skin. The quality of your skin will give you an idea of the quality of your organ tissues.

 

When you put something unnatural into your body, imagine it going straight into your tissues and organs. How can your skin and eyes glow if your tissue quality is laden with junk?

 

When you put only natural, fresh foods into your body, your tissue quality will reflect that and you will glow with the radiance nature intended.

 

When your skin is getting oxygenated from within due to excellent blood flow and unobstructed pathways, the signs of aging and cellulite can be reduced dramatically without any expensive creams or plastic surgery.

HIGH-VIBRATION FOODS (Rich in Life Force Energy)

 

In the modern age, with so much conflicting information, it can be misleading to categorize foods as either healthy or unhealthy. What truly determines whether a food has a high health quotient is how much natural vitality that food has, combined with how it reacts once it enters the body.

 

A food’s vitality is equal to its life force energy quotient, measured by how harmoniously and rapidly it vibrates on the subatomic level.

 

Typically, the more water-containing the food, and the more directly it derived its energy from the sun, the more life force energy it contains.

 

So what are the most high-vibration foods that work in harmony with the human body? For the committed detox dieter who is no longer acidic, yeasted, or intestinally impacted, organically raised fruits grown in full sun are extremely high on the life force scale and the ideal high-vibration food.

 

For the rest of you, whose acidity and yeast levels are high, the ideal foods are organic leafy greens and other organic raw vegetables. Organic raw vegetables are our greatest catalysts to healing.

 

Notice that I say catalysts, because foods in and of themselves are not healers; rather, it’s the body that does the healing. All we can do is cultivate the right environment—that is, a healthy internal ecosystem—with high-vibration alkaline foods to help continually remove blockages and infuse our blood, cells, tissues, and organs with life force energy.

 

When we give the body the chance to rebalance and heal itself, it begins the work of cellular renewal, and it will continue to do so for as long as we let it.

 

That’s why a detox diet, for Chef Doris and me, is not merely a stopgap for short-term weight loss. Rather, it is a way of life that continually heals and reenergizes the body, as the body has been designed to do all along.

 

Never forget that all life is an energetic system. That’s why the body responds so well to living foods with harmonious high vibrations. So the next time you eat a scrumptious raw salad, savor the sensation of supercharging every cell in your body.
