Science of Raw Food Nutrition Series Announced

Living Light Culinary Institute, a gourmet raw food culinary school attracting students from more than 50 countries around the world, has teamed up with Rick Dina, D.C. and Karin Dina, D.C. to offer a comprehensive series of classes on the science of raw food nutrition . Topics include raw vegan sources of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and essential fatty acids, as well as blood sugar regulation, pH balance, nutrient changes in cooked food, anti-inflammatory nutrition, weight management, anti-aging, longevity, and related topics. The series has grown from an initial offering of a single class in the fall of 2006, to a 15 day, five-part series with 130 hours of course content.

The “buzz” about the health benefits of raw foods is attracting a wide audience, including Hollywood stars Natalie Portman and Woody Harrelson, musicians David Bowie and Beyonce, and Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Many Living Light graduates have found employment as private chefs for celebrities, and at spas and health retreats. With increased awareness of the raw food diet, adding scientific nutritional information has become an important component in the school curriculum.

The Science of Raw Food Nutrition series is geared towards chefs, health educators, public speakers, recipe book authors, and even vegan home chefs who want to answer the perennial question “where do you get your protein?” Classes are designed for both the non-scientific person, and for those with a science or nutrition background who are interested in learning more about the specifics of raw food nutrition. The first class in the series is available to the general public with no prerequisites.

“We feel lucky to have the opportunity to watch the proverbial light bulbs go off over our students’ heads as various pieces of the nutrition puzzle come together,” says Rick Dina. “The courses have been tremendously well-received, and our students keep asking for more in-depth content.”

With everyone from food guru Michael Pollan to New York Times columnist Mark Bittman touting the virtues of sustainability and examining the benefits of vegetarian and vegan diets, it is important to understand the scientific nutritional aspects of the increasingly popular raw food diet. The Science of Raw Food Nutrition series at Living Light Culinary Institute provides progressively complex information on a variety of subjects, including antioxidants and phytonutrients in raw plant foods, nutrient synergy, a comparison of various fasts and cleanses, the ecological impact of food choices, and menu planning for various health concerns like blood sugar issues, cholesterol management, autoimmune disorders, and digestive issues.

Being Healthier » Thrive in 30: Acid vs Alkaline

Lesson 3: Myth Busting

So we have learned that nutrient dense foods can really help reduce stress levels, weight loss, physical performance and overall well-being. We have learned about protein needs for performance and other nutrients of interest to bust nutritional myths. When Brendan started discussing enzymes in the last video , I knew that I would be in for a treat because I love metabolism and enzymatic reactions.  Feel free at any time to make fun of my nerdy science tendencies! Let’s geek out together…

Thrive in 30 Alkaline vs. Acid Main Ideas:

Brendan discusses the difference between acid forming foods and alkaline forming foods and why it impacts our health & performance.

 

Acid forming foods would consist of refined foods like white flour, processed meats, dairy, basically anything that has been manufactured somehow will have more acid forming qualities.

 

Alkaline foods are non-processed foods like dark leafy green vegetables, fruits, etc. Those foods that contain chlorophyll increase your blood’s pH level, which increases alkalinity thus they are alkaline forming.

 

Calcium is an alkalizing mineral (Brendan uses the term “alkaline forming”). If we consume highly processed foods on a frequent basis (okay whenever we do), the calcium in our bones will be pulled out to “balance” the pH levels that have been altered from the processed (acid-forming) foods to maintain a healthier pH.

 

Because we often consume less healthy & more acid forming (refined) foods, more of the calcium is being pulled out of our bones more often, causing our bone density to decrease as a population.Lower bone density is correlated to the ridiculously increased rates of osteoporosis at younger ages.

Okay Brendan, What do you suggest we do?

Swap out a highly acid forming meal (which would be a highly processed meal like ham and cheese, hamburger, frozen dinner, pizza, etc.) for a highly alkaline forming meal (dark leafy green salad… vega smoothie).  It should noticeably reduce inflammation within 48 hours and even your hands will feel a difference.

 

Essentially, it boils down to the concept of eating more leafy, dark green vegetables and produce (like his favorite smoothies!
