RAINBOW GREEN LIVE FOOD CUISINE
BY DR GABRIEL COUSENS
Medical researchers have found that a high-fat, high-sugar diet, combined with environmental pollutants and stress, can lead to a buildup of toxins in the body collectively known as chronic degenerative disease.
Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine (RGLFC) is the first principle of Dr. Cousens’ Holistic Approach to Whole Person Health. Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine consists of a diet of organic, plant-source-only, live (raw) food, with 25–45 percent moderate-low complex carbohydrates, 25–45 percent plant-based fats, moderate protein, low glycemic index, low insulin index, high minerals, no refined carbohydrates (especially white flour, white sugar, junk or processed foods), high fiber, and individualized moderate caloric intake.
Some people need more protein (plant sourced), and others need a diet higher in complex carbohydrates, depending on one’s constitution. Regardless of your constitution, however, this diet is high in vegetables, leafy greens, sprouts, high-fiber vegetables, and phytonutrients.
A high-phytonutrient diet naturally includes a variety of antioxidants such as carotenes, vitamin E, vitamin C, phenol compounds, and resveratrol in the foods. You know you are getting these when there is a full rainbow of colors in your vegetables, and also fruits, beans, and grains as colors are actually the pigments containing the phytonutrients, which turn on the anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, and anti-inflammatory genes.
Most important, these phytonutrients turn off the diabetes-causing genes and turn on the antidiabetic genes. Insulin also influences the other hormones in the body. A healthy flow of insulin in the body not only helps us control blood sugar but is linked to a healthy balance of many other hormones, including insulin-like growth factor, human growth hormone, cortisol, somatostatin, serotonin, noradrenalin, and leptin. Control of hormones is found through our diet, stress, exercise patterns, and of course the food we take into our body.
Both a guide to natural health and a cookbook, Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine features over 250 revolutionary vegan recipes from chefs at the Tree of Life Cafe, from Buttery Butternut Porridge to Raw-violis to Carob Coconut Cream Eclairs.
