What is Lifefood? LifeFood is fresh fruit, vegetables, nut and seed prepared at temperatures under 118F to preserve precious enzymes. Enzymes are the life force of food. Nuts and seeds are soaked and sprouted for digestability. LifeFood is vegetarian, prepared with the highest quality ingredients on the planet. Our raw goat cheese is from a local farm where goats live a nice and happy life. About Lifefood Organic We have created healthy grab-and-go prepacked raw living vegetarian cuisine. Our recipes are crafted from the highest integrity ingredients with one special twist; nothing is heated over 118 degrees so all the precious enzymes in the food are preserved. Enzymes are the buzzword for LifeFood Nutrition. Enzymes can be seen as the life force of food, they are critical for digestion, and have a survival temperature of under 118 F. When food is cooked above this temperature enzymes die and heat sensitive vitamins like Vitamin C diminish in potency. Enzymes must be there for digestion to occur. When processed and denatured food is eaten, the body must scavenge for digestive enzymes already on hand, so it costs you something. This slow...

Among the many restaurants in Los Angeles that claim to specialize in healthy, organic fare, Brentwood’s A Votre Sante is one of the few that truly commits itself to salubrious excellence. Nestled on San Vicente right next to the Brentwood Country Mart, the charming, café-style restaurant whose name means “to your health” in French has been offering an extensive variety of feel-good foods since 1987. Every dish is composed with precision and elegance: salads piled high with fresh greens, steamed vegetables, brown rice, avocado, and shredded purple cabbage; homemade Shelton Farms turkey meatloaf; organic chicken tucked in a whole wheat wrap with steamed veggies, tahini, avocado, and brown rice; gluten free brown rice pasta with tofu and fresh veggies in a ginger-tamari sauce; grilled falafel served with whole wheat pita, fresh tabuli, and cool hummus. If you can bear to take your eyes off the food, you might also notice that the place is a celebrity hideaway—it’s a favorite of Dennis Quaid, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, and Dylan...
