<\n\nINTERNATIONAL LIVING FOOD SUMMIT<\/span><\/p>\n

Vibrant Health through Plant-Based Nutrition<\/p>\n

This historic summit was held at the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach Florida on January 14, 2006. The summit convened to unify the leadership in the Living Food Movement, establishing scientifically based common standards for optimum health.<\/p>\n

Leaders from eight countries (with a combined total of 405 years following this lifestyle) agreed on the following standards:<\/p>\n

(Compiled and Organized by Jameth Sheridan, N.D.)<\/p>\n

The Optimum Diet for Health\/Longevity:<\/p>\n

\u2022Vegan (no animal products of any kind, cooked or raw)<\/p>\n

\u2022Organic<\/p>\n

\u2022Whole Foods<\/p>\n

\u2022High in nutrition such as vitamins, antioxidants and phytonutrients<\/p>\n

\u2022Highly mineralized<\/p>\n

\u2022Contains a significant quantity of chlorophyll-rich green foods<\/p>\n

\u2022Contains adequate complete protein from plant sources<\/p>\n

\u2022Contains a large proportion of high-water content foods<\/p>\n

\u2022Provides excellent hydration<\/p>\n

\u2022Includes raw vegetable juices<\/p>\n

\u2022Contains all essential fatty acids, including Omega 3 fatty acids from naturally occurring plant sources<\/p>\n

\u2022Is at least 80% raw (the remaining to be Vegan, whole food, and organic)<\/p>\n

\u2022Has moderate, yet adequate caloric intake<\/p>\n

\u2022Contains only low to moderate sugar and exclusively from whole food sources (fruitarianism is strongly discouraged)<\/p>\n

\u2022Is nutritionally optimal for both detoxification and rebuilding<\/p>\n

We also agree that:<\/p>\n

\u2022Supplementation with Vitamin B-12 is advised.<\/p>\n

\u2022The addition of enzyme active superfoods and whole food supplements is also advised.<\/p>\n

\u2022This way of eating can be further optimized by tailoring it based on individual needs (within the principles stated).<\/p>\n

\u2022Benefits derived by following these principles are proportional to how well they are followed.<\/p>\n

\u2022We will remain open-minded, and this information will be updated and expanded upon, if necessary, as new research becomes available.<\/p>\n

\u2022Diet is a critical piece of a healthy lifestyle, yet not the entire picture. A full spectrum, health supportive lifestyle is encouraged. This includes physical exercise, exposure to sunshine, as well as psychological health. Avoiding environmental toxins and toxic products is essential. Paramount is pure water (for consumption and bathing), the use of natural fiber clothing, and non-toxic personal care products. Also consider healthy options in home furnishings\/building materials and related items.<\/p>\n

All leaders agree that the main objective of eating in the above mentioned fashion is to promote health, and equally to prevent and minimize disease.<\/p>\n
