I friend who is very nutrition contentious told me to eat as much fresh fruits and vegetables as I can stand - The flood of vitamins and enzymes helps your body heal. It works! My ankles used to feel like they were breaking and it had gotten to the point that I couldn't walk without a bunch of pain. I've been eating all fresh fruits and vegetables during the day until dinner when I allow myself to eat cooked food. Started this June 5, 2009 and have lost 27 1/2 lbs (I weighed today!). My ankles no longer hurt, carpel tunnel has gone away entirely and my knee injury also healed.

This friend explained to me that we lose 80-90% of the vitamins and enzymes in our food when we cook it. He was right! :)
