E nānā pono kākou i ka mea i hūnā ʻia ma lalo o ka huaʻōlelo i kēia manawa ʻo "raw food".
ʻO ka meaʻai maka he ʻōnaehana meaʻai e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā meaʻai i loaʻa ʻole i ka mālama wela. E like me nā huahana, e like me ke kānāwai, nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu, nā hua, nā ʻano greens āpau, nā cereals, nā nati a me nā ʻanoʻano, a me nā legumes. Ma keʻano laulā, hiki ke ʻai ʻia nā mea āpau me ka ʻole o ka mālama ʻana i ka wela. I ka manawa like, nui nā ʻano meaʻai maka. ʻO ka ʻano mua he meaʻai meaʻai maka (me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i nā protein holoholona), ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā kīʻaha like ʻole mai nā meaʻai maka. Hiki ke lilo i keke maka, sushi / rolls, borscht, salads, hamburgers, a me nā mea hou aku. ʻO ka ʻano ʻelua he meaʻai paleo-raw. He koho koʻikoʻi kēia i ka wā i hoʻokomo ʻia ai ka iʻa maka, paʻakai a maloʻo, a me ka ʻiʻo maka a me ka ʻiʻo maloʻo i loko o ka meaʻai. ʻO ke kolu o ka ʻano ʻoi loa ka koʻikoʻi, kahi i ʻae ʻole ʻia ai ka hui ʻana i nā huahana like ʻole, a ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia nā huahana non-vegetarian mai ka papa kuhikuhi.
Manaʻo kekahi poʻe kākoʻo o kēia ʻōnaehana meaʻai ʻo ka ʻai maka ke ala i ka make ʻole. I ko lākou manaʻo, ʻo ka mālama ʻana i ka meaʻai maka e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau mau i nā maʻi āpau, a ola (ʻaʻole thermally processed) meaʻai e kōkua i ka noho ʻana me ke ʻano. He aha ka pono maoli o ia meaʻai?
ʻIke ʻia i ka poʻe āpau i ka wā o ka mālama ʻana i ka wela (ka wela ma luna o 42-45 degere), nalowale nā huahana i ka nui o nā waiwai pono, a hoʻopuka kekahi i nā carcinogens ʻino. ʻO ia ke kumu e maʻi ʻole ai nā holoholona e ʻai i nā meaʻai "maka" i ko lākou ola a pau a loaʻa ka nui o ka ikehu ola a hiki i ka hopena o ko lākou ola.
ʻO ka fiber, loaʻa i loko o nā mea kanu a me nā huaʻai, he mea koʻikoʻi i loko o nā ʻōnaehana meaʻai āpau. ʻO kona ikaika e hoʻopiha koke i ka ʻōpū a hāʻawi i ka manaʻo o ka māʻona. I ka manawa like, liʻiliʻi nā momona i nā meaʻai mea kanu.
ʻO ka meaʻai maka he meaʻai olakino no ka mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ke kino me nā mea ʻino a me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe i ka manawa pōkole. Aia nā hōʻike ʻepekema ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe ʻai mea kanu i ka maʻi puʻuwai, ka maʻi kanesa, ka maʻi autoimmune, ka maʻi iwi, ka maʻi kīkī, ka maʻi maka, a me ka lolo. Eia kekahi, ʻike hou aʻe ka ʻike ma ka Pūnaewele e pili ana i nā hiʻohiʻona kupanaha o ka ho'ōla ʻana i nā poʻe mai nā maʻi "hiki ʻole" (e like me ka lāʻau lapaʻau kuʻuna).
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i nā huaʻai maka, nā huaʻai, nā hua, hoʻopau mākou i ke kino o nā mea hoʻohui meaʻai, ʻo ia hoʻi, ke kemika. Kōkua ia i ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻōpū o loko, hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā lākou i nā mea ʻino i hōʻiliʻili ʻia. I kēia hihia, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kūloko, ma ke ʻano maoli. ʻO ka hopena o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana he hoʻomaikaʻi maʻamau o nā kino a me nā ʻōnaehana. E hoʻomaikaʻi ka hoʻohui ʻana o ke koko, ʻo ia ka mea e loaʻa i nā kino a me nā ʻōnaehana ka meaʻai kiʻekiʻe. E hoʻomaka ana nā pūnaewele e hoʻohou a hou hou. E pili ana kēia mau mea i kou helehelena. E nānā hou a ʻōpio ʻoe. E ola maikaʻi a pahee kou ʻili, e ʻālohilohi kou mau maka, e hoʻomaikaʻi ke ʻano o kou lauoho. Ma keʻano he hōʻike, e nānā i nā poʻe kaulana, nā hōkū Hollywood a me ko mākou mau hoa pili i kēia ʻōnaehana meaʻai: Demi Moore, Uma Thurman, Mel Gibson, Madonna, Natalie Portman, Ornella Muti, Alexey Voevoda - hiki i kekahi ke lili wale i ko lākou helehelena.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻai meaʻai maka ma ke ʻano he hoʻōla a hoʻomaʻemaʻe. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ia i nā papa, mai 1 a 3 mau mahina, a laila hoʻololi hou i ka meaʻai maʻamau. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka meaʻai maka i hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule. E nānā i ke ʻano o kou kino i ka hoʻololi ʻana i kēia ʻano meaʻai. Inā, ma hope o ka lā i hoʻopau ʻia i nā mea kanu maka a me nā huaʻai, manaʻo nui ʻoe, piha i ka ikehu a me ka māmā, a laila ʻo ia ke kumu e hoʻonui ai i nā wā meaʻai maka. E hoao, e hoao, e lealea.
