WHY RAW FOR MANA?
When sourcing our ingredients for MANA Blend, we make sure to utilise the very best, highest quality foods on the planet, grown in the most pristine conditions all over the world. It makes perfect sense to keep these foods as close to their natural state as possible in order to maintain and preserve their precious life-giving nutrients. Each ingredient is carefully processed without the use of heat and every step of production has been carefully planned and orchestrated to ensure maximum freshness and potency.
Raw living foods contain their full range of natural vitamins, minerals and nutrients in their natural form. These living foods are complete with all the enzymes necessary to turn food into energy that our body can readily use. Raw food generally refers to food kept below 42 degrees Celsius, which maintains the highest percentage of natural concentrated nutrients and energy in the food.
Studies have proven that when we heat and cook our food, we destroy many of these valuable enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Furthermore, at these high temperatures, pesticides and fungicides begin to break down and form toxic compounds in the body, which increases free radical production and escalates the possibility of illness and disease.
The human body requires enzymes to digest food. Each whole, raw food contains naturally occurring enzymes designed to help break down that particular food. These enzymes are the living proteins that direct the nutrients into our biochemical and metabolic processes. When we cook food, we destroy many, if not all, of these living enzymes.
Whole raw foods are also rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants. Phytonutrients are what give fruits and vegetables their vibrant color. Phytonutrients protect the body and fight disease; research suggests they help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and type 2 diabetes. Phytonutrients have also been shown to slow the aging process and enhance eyesight and brain function. The Phytonutrients found in fresh living food can be destroyed or significantly lessened when subject to heat.
The human body is innately intelligent and when introduced to a higher intake of living foods, it very rapidly begins to restore the body to a more natural state of equilibrium.
While it may not be easy to eat raw foods 100% of the time, having a daily serve of MANA Blend provides the body with medicinal doses of some of the most potent and powerful foods on the planet, in their natural state. No matter how busy life is, or what your current diet looks like, adding MANA Blend to your day is the easiest way to provide the body with all the essential nutrients and enzymes it needs to thrive.
