Cooking or heating live foods

Cooking your food can kill many of the vitamins that your body needs. That's why eating raw live whole foods can be so much more beneficial to your health.

Let's face it though, not all foods taste so good when their raw. If you absolutely have to heat or cook your food, the best way is by steaming. Briefly boiling can also be another option but it isn't as good as steaming because with boiling you can lose much of the nutrients in the water.

If at all possible, eat the live foods raw to keep in all the nutrients.
