Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.

Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.

Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢)becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.

The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.

To stop this vicious(恶性的)circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize (使…中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.

I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against aopponent(对手). The score was 20 to 17 in her  . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me and said we had to continue until one of us .

“Look,”I said, “if we, one of two events will take place, either you or I will win.If you win, I will begin tomy skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn’t it better to know that we both played , that we enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even(相等) score?” This was aending for my opponent and for the persons watching this contest. It made  to me to leave with a tie(不分胜负) game, an impasse(僵局): no winner, no.

So, my friends, here is the problem me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to other nations for retaliatory(报复) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there be no winners, only losers. Under these conditions, the only choice toglobal destruction is glogal impasse. This would be a “tie game” where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise(妥协). This is because compromise becomes the only means of. We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to understanding of victory. The victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins, no one loses either.
