What is Saeng Shik?
The idea of Saeng Shik developed from small monk villages spread throughout the rural countryside of the Korean Peninsula. Isolated from the habits of modern life and guided by the simple lifestyles of the monks, the practice of eating a diet of locally grown plants, grains, vegetables, and fruits became the norm. Combined with the spiritual practices of the monks (prayer and meditation), these communities became known as places of healing, both spiritual and physical.
The monks follow a life of Saeng Shik by following these practices. They grow their own food, knowing that it is clean and without toxins. They eat it raw and fresh - food that is alive with nutrients. They do not overeat, and there is no obesity. The enjoyed a joyful life with minimal stress, taking time to witness the beautiful sights and sounds around them. They keep their bodies active through the work required to grow and harvest their own food, and they do so until the day they die.
Testimonials
I began using Saeng Shik about 3 years ago as a food supplement. With a busy lifestyle, I felt that I wasn’t eating enough fruits and vegetables and therefore getting the proper nutrition that a balanced diet would represent. Within a short time period, I began feeling more energetic, alert and was getting a better full nights rest. After having gone through cancer surgery this past year, I believe that my strong and healthy blood has let to a very quick and lasting recovery. Even the doctors and nurses all commented on the quality of my blood, in relation to oxygen levels, red and white cell count and blood pressure. In today’s world with the busy lifestyle that we live, I think that a product like Saeng Shik is very helpful in getting the nutrition and balance that our body needs.
