Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 IMO The only good application for blended foods is if a person has digestive problems and can't break down food well. --- " INFO @ Vibrant Life " <VLinfo wrote: > Mike writes: > > Eating blended foods will > save you hours of chewing time each day. > _____ > This advice is quite self defeating.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi Mike, I'm with you, and here are my reasons why: Ann Wigmore wrote a book, " The Blending Book " . Here are some quotes: " Blending is the easiest and most efficient way to provide food that is both nourishings and easy to digest. By blending foods, we can counteract the poor eating habits most of us have developed over the years, and that are the cause of many of the physical problems we have. " page 7 " Blending living foods with Rejuvelac, for example, prevents the loss of vitamins because the vitamin E in the Rejuvelac acts as an antioxidant. Adding shredded carrots, zucchini, or other vegetables to your blending mixture will provide extra fiber, which is very important for digestive health. " Page 8 " The most important key to health is to use blended foods in small amounts frequently throughout the day. I realize that this may seem drastic, but if you are serious about maintaining or restoring your health, I can assure you that this is the most beneficial way. " pages 8-9 She goes on to say, " I have seen so many students come to my centers with all kinds of diseases. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that every one of these people suffer from an inability to assimilate nourishment, which leads to deficiencies and illness. When easy-to-digest, high-energy blended foods are provided, the changes in their health are immediate. " page 9. She also says, " My personal opinion is that a diet should consist of 70 percent blended foods and 30 percent other living foods. But each person has a different system and different needs; one must learn to listen to his or her own body. " Page 11. Dr. Ann said, " I cannot emphasize enough the importance of blended foods in order to give the body a chance to assimilate nourishment to supply the missing elements. " Page 20. " By blending fresh, raw, organically grown foods, we not only relieve our metabolic enzymes of extra job of digestion, but we add to the store of enzymes in our body. Another advantage of blending is that a very satisfying meal can be obtained from a relative small amount of food. This further relieves the enzymes in the digestive tract and avoids the overworking of a longoverburdened system. " Page 25. What blender did Ann Wigmore use? " At the Ann Wigmore Foundation, we use a Vita-Mix blender; I have found that this is the best blender to use in the long run. " Page 35.
