On my quest to learn more about eating raw and the benefits of organic food I decided to take my research to some movies. I heard about a movie called Food Maters and wanted to give it a shot. So I have to first say that this freaking movie is the most frightening thing I have seen since watching Dawn of The Dead as a child.
It went on to explain how the food and drug industry lied to us and continues to lie to us for the sake of profit. I don’t know if you have had a chance to check out the movie simply raw but Mr. David Wolfe from that movie is one of the people revealing the truth. David explains how one of his students lost an amazing 15lbs in one day just by eating organic and drinking water. This is something that needs to be seriously looked at as a blueprint to recovery from obesity in my personal opinion. I have to admit that when I was 100% raw I felt GREAT!!
I have to be honest that besides the minor adjustments of getting used to the lifestyle of eating raw I never felt as good and fulfilled from simple nutritional food choices.
The one thing I will point out is that when the human body is given proper nutrition it has the ability to heal itself. I have also learned that when we cook our vegetables our body looks at the cook food as toxic and works hard to fix the problem. Now if you was to eat the same vegetables raw the human body would use 100% of all the nutrients and pump life into our bloodstream. This alone is one of the biggest reasons to consider going raw as far as I am concerned.
Did you know that the food and drug industry has kept many of us in the dark about what we are putting into our bodies? I for one don’t like being lied to about the food and over the counter as well as proscribed drugs we are given that is killing us. I am so leaning toward going 100% raw again right now it is not funny. I want you to know that we have the power of choice in life and it is our decisions that will give us positive or negative results. So in my own choice of living my own life I am drinking as much of this information down as fast as I can. I really want to be educated on what I am doing this time around before I commit to this whole raw food thing again.
I will say that the lessons I am learning and absorbing right now is just plain common sense and some of it is just a slap in the face. I can only say that from the information I have learned so far and benefits of eating raw makes me think.
I have eating animals for so long and they are pumped full of growth hormones and junk. I have also played my role in eating the S.A.D diet which as you know kills more Americans than I care to count. I have tried all the diet products and gimmicks that I want to admit right now. So I really think I owe it to my body to eat a balance of fresh organic vegetables, fruits, nuts and berries and see what happens. I am really thinking about my health right now and concerned about what I put into my body. So for now I am going to keep reading and learning but I am also about to conduct my own personal study on what would happen if I just give this raw food thing a real shot. What would happen if I just drink water and eat organic and cut all the BS foods out of my diet for just a week or maybe a month?
What would happen if I gave this diet a full year try? I will let you all know what I decide to do but for now I am going crazy from all that I am learning and just needed to vent.
Today I am thinking about 2010 and what I am planning for 2011 now that we are nearing the end of yet another year. I know around this time of year everyone tends to stick to tradition and set New Years resolutions.
