There exists a special group of people, who live in a mountainous region of Northern Pakistan. They are special because the majority of them, males and females, live to an extremely old age. How old? Well, according to the reports, over 100! These are real people, even though they are the stuff of legend, and almost totally isolated from the rest of humanity. They are real, and so is the "secret" of their longevity.

They are called Hunza, and this indigenous tribe has been under scientific scrutiny for nearly 70 years from sociologists and others, curious to know the reason for the remarkable power over aging that they seem to possess. Although school is not yet out on this, it looks as though the mystery has been solved, and what many suspected, namely their propensity for consuming mainly raw fruits and vegetables, is the reason for their amazing health and vigor.

The fact that they have been monitored for so many years is proof positive of their resistance to old age, since seeing is believing! In this article, my intention is to whet your appetite -no pun intended -for raw fruit and veggies, and set you on the path to better health.

The Hunza, as stated earlier, eat lots of fruits,vegetables nuts and seeds. And it's mostly uncooked. Why? Nutritional science has shown that heating food at temperatures above 116 degrees Fahrenheit destroys the live organic enzymes. To explain a little about enzymes: Seeds for instance,have dormant within them amazing elements that one could call "life-forces" in suspended animation.

They have been discovered buried in the tombs of Pharaoh's in Egypt,and have actually been planted and sprouted, because the enzymes, 3,000 years old and more,were still living though dormant!

So, bearing in mind that raw fruits veggies nuts and seeds are chock-a-block full of these precious elements, that they can be destroyed beyond the 116 degree threshold, why oh why do we, in the mainly Western World continue to heat-blast our foods?

I think it's probably part ignorance and part tradition and even perhaps part laziness,but we need to change.

In closing, may I challenge you dear reader, to try a diet rich in fresh raw vegetables and fruits for a period of 10 days. Note the difference in your weight, general health and energy levels.

I'm convinced you'll be awestruck with the difference. Please, do me a favour and let me know how you got on, since I am preparing a book and would be delighted to hear your testimony.

His background is fairly diverse: Prior to entering Ministry, he worked as an advertising executive for the magazine division of Associated Newspapers in Fleet Street, London, England, in a middle management capacity.

After about 17 years of this,and seeking a less stressful life, he and his wife moved to the countryside and became more active in their Christian faith,eventuating in Ken seeking and being ordained into the ministry, and eventually pastoring local churches. He continued up to "retirement" 2 years ago.

He and his wife Paula have been students and practitioners of health fitness and nutrition for decades with emphasis on Raw Foods and Jogging (running in 10k /to Marathons) and these are the subjects Ken likes to write upon. They have both experienced massive health benefits over the years not to mention gained lots of knowledge to share with others.

Italy Celebrates Saint Joseph's Day

Italy – The Feast Day of Saint Joseph

Italians love celebrating. Two days after the feast of Saint Patrick, on March 19th, Italians all over the world celebrate Saint Joseph’s Day. Saint Joseph is the father of Jesus and the husband of Mary. He is the Patron Saint of carpenters, house buyers and sellers, fathers, confectioners, wheelwrights, and working people. Numerous countries regard him as their patron saint too, including Austria, Canada, Mexico, Sicily, Turin, and Florence Italy.

According to legend, during the Middle Ages severe drought and famine plagued Sicily. Sicilians prayed passionately to Saint Joseph for

rain. They promised that if he sent rain, they would prepare a large feast in his honour. While they waited, Sicilians survived on fava beans which saved them from starvation. Saint Joseph heard their prayers and sent rain. The Sicilians never forgot their promise to him for answering their desperate prayers. In gratitude, to this very day, they hold dear their promise and pay homage to him.

Every March 19th, Italians open their hearts and pantries. First, three-tiered altars are erected to honour the Holy Trinity. A statue of Saint Joseph, surrounded by flowers and candles, decorates the top tier. On the next two tiers are foods like pasta, olive oil, fava beans, and baked goods.

During the banquet, food is generously offered to the needy. In the town squares of many towns and villages, large banquet tables are erected. All the townsfolk contribute food, flowers, limes, candles, wine, and fava beans. No meats are placed on the altar because the feast day falls during the season of Lent. Foods made with bread crumbs are common because it is symbolic of a carpenter’s sawdust. A special vegetarian minestrone soup including fava beans and bread carefully baked in the shape of a sceptre to represent his walking stick or a wreath representing the Crown of Thorns are lovingly prepared and offered. At the end of the meal, every guest takes home some of the food.

To begin the festival, the local priest blesses the altar and its foods. Children portraying the Holy Family must sample all the food on the altar. As each item is tasted, there is a drum roll and everyone shouts “Viva San Giuseppe” to cast away all of the evil spirits. When the tasting is complete, the blessed loaf of bread is cut into pieces and shared with all. Legend decrees that whoever eats a piece of the bread will receive good fortune throughout the next year.

Saint Joseph's Day is a day for eating and celebrating with friends and family. There are many recipes passed down through the generations for this very special occasion. One of the most common is for “zeppole”, a fried donut-like treat. So on March 19th, I hope you take the time to make and enjoy zeppole. I wish all my Italian family, friends, and readers Buon Giorno di San Giuseppe – Happy St. Joseph’s Day. “Viva San Giuseppe!”
