[Guest guest]

Subject: The Raw Truth: Secrets of the Living Foods Approach to Wellness, IIIHere is the class on fat that I told you aboutlast time. And you will not want to miss the next fewclasses: De-mystifying Food Combining, The Wonders ofTahini, and more!. And don't forget to check out thefabulous Spinach Mousse recipe coming up, it is a real winner.And Now, Part 3:-The Skinny on FatIt is best to use a variety of healthy fats includingunrefined, cold pressed nut and seed oils, and fat richfood such as nuts, seeds and avocados to create greattasting, satisfying and nutritious meals.The conventional approach has us fearing fat as though it were poison, and the truth is all refined (heat treated) fats and oils are. Butraw fats and oils are actually good for you! Read on.....Great dressings depend on using

the finest ingredients.Use only unrefined, cold-pressed nut and seed oils, notjust because they taste wonderful and carry the flavor offood, but also because your body needs the essential fattyacids they contain. Eating predominantly refined oils(heat treated), which lack the essential fatty acids,will lead to nutritional deficiencies. In fact all refinedoils are harmful to the body. The refining process createstrans-fatty acids which are the catalysts for allfat-related degenerative diseases. (Think: all fats and oils that havebeen cooked or heated are bad for you.)The essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6, found in thehighest concentration in flaxseed oil, are transformed byyour body to hormone-like substances called prostaglandins.These fatty acids do not store fat in your body like saturatedfat, instead they have been shown to protect against heartdisease, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, stroke

andblood clots; increase your body's resistance to cancertumors; provide relief from arthritis, asthma, pre-menstrual syndrome, allergies, skin conditions; and improve brainfunctioning, immunity and some behavior disorders.Fats and oils, including nuts and seeds, also satisfy yourappetite quickly and actually help to prevent overeatingbecause it takes your body nine times longer to use up thecalories from fat than it does from complex carbohydrates.Fats carry fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D and E.Serve flaxseed oil with your vegetables to help make thevitamins and beta carotenes more bio-available to your body.Hemp oil is now appearing on the market. This easilymetabolized oil is a balanced mix of all the essentialfatty acids, unsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats.On its own, hemp oil has a strong taste, so mix it withflaxseed oil and or extra virgin olive oil for use onsalads

and vegetables.Another source of healthy fat is available in fresh, young Thai coconuts.Available at Asian markets in most big cities, the water and meat fromyoung coconuts are finding their way into more and more raw recipes. They are also delicious as is. The more familiar small brown coconuts seen in many supermarkets are the mature coconut, whose meat is made up of a much more saturated fat than what comes from the young coconuts.Avocados are another excellent source of 'good' fats.Although they do not provide essential fatty acids,avocados are full of vitamins and minerals and quicklysatisfy the appetite.Remember you don't have to be afraid of fats if they are raw.

This dressing will thinout if not served immediately, but it will taste

just as good.4 tablespoons high lignan flaxseed oil(I recommend Barlean's brand)2 tablespoons lemon juice(optional) 1 teaspoon maple syrup (see note)(optional) 1 teaspoon Bragg's Liquid Aminos (see note)or a pinch of sea saltIn a bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, maple syrupand Bragg's. Whisk with a fork or a wire whisk untilthe dressing becomes as thick as heavy syrup. Serves 1.Note: maple syrup and Braggs are not raw products.Instead of Bragg's you can use Nama Shoyu (a type of raw soy sauce, that contains wheat, soy sauce, tamari (a type of cooked soy sauce that doesnot contain wheat), or sea salt.Until next time, hope you have a GREAT day.Yours in Good Health,Nomi http://www.rawgourmet.comnomi@...888-316-4611P.
