Fresh and natural eatables are full of various nutrients. Fresh fruits and vegetables without cooking are good source of nourishing elements. Better if fruits are not peeled off because 70% of nutrients in fruits are contained in their outermost skin (Take care that these MUST be properly washed with lukewarm water before eating to nullify the effects of pesticides and chemicals present on the peel). If you peel apples or peers, you are throwing away vital nutrients and fiber. Same is the case with potatoes. Yes, you can peel orange, but eat it with maximum white skin – it is full of flavonoids.
Juices of fruits and vegetables should be taken fresh. At the maximum you can store juices in the refrigerator for not more than 30 minutes.
The same is true with grains such as wheat, gram and cereals. Best results are expected if sprouted whole grains are taken while cooking them to the minimum.
Processing of food also drastically lowers the nutritive contents. For example, wheat when converted into fine flour, it loses 80% of its protein content. The outer skin of wheat when taken out of the flour, the flour only contains carbohydrates and nothing else. The vitamins contained in wheat (95 % of vitamin B complex and 80% of minerals) are present in outer skin of the wheat.
