Dr. Norman Walker was an English-American pioneer in raw foods, juicing, and vegetarian movements, each which have grown over the years. He advocated the drinking of fresh vegetable and fruit juices, both to regain and maintain one’s health. Based on his design, the Norwalk Hydraulic Press Juicer was developed. He lived to the ripe old age of 99 and had written many books over the years on nutrition and healthy living that we highly recommend in reading such as:
Coconut water is a natural isotonic beverage, with the same electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. In fact during the Pacific War of 1941-45 coconut water was used to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers. Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas- once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins or ferment.
*Coconut water is more nutritious then whole milk-Less fat and no cholesterol! *Coconut water is more healthy then orange juice-much lower in calories. *Coconut water is more nutritious then processed baby milk-It contains lauric acid- which is present in human mother’s milk. *Coconut water is naturally sterile-water permeates through the filtering husk. *Coconut water is a universal donor- Its identical to human blood plasma. *Coconut water is a natural isotonic beverage- the same level we have in our blood. *Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries through Coconut IV.

Food combining is the process of orchestrating our meals in such a way as to keep our stomachs sound and happy. No one likes a grumbling stomach and bad diet choices can absolutely ruin a good day. Gas, indigestion, and acid reflux are all too common in the modern society. Drugs to solve these digestive problems are among the best sellers in pharmacies.
Protein digestion requires an acid medium, starch digestion requires alkaline enzymes, sugars like lactose require specific enzymes like lactase. Digestion is not just getting food in and out. It is the absorption and assimilation of nutrients for the construction and repair of cells and nourishment of the “whole” body. To achieve optimum digestion and good health, we need only to learn our limits and become more conscious of what we eat while we are eating it. Unfortunately, most of us spend so much time working that we forget our bodies and lose touch with what we put in them. Indigestion is a red flag. It tells us to slow down and watch what we are eating.
