raw food

been talking alot about raw foods lately...humans are the only animal on the planet that cooks it's food and then wonders why they are sick...we are raised to think we need meat and really we need protein and there are much better sources of protein besides meat....but back to raw food... when u cook your food you break down all the nutrients and enzymes that it contains and your amazing human body is able to reassemble them for use... when you consume raw food your body does not have to spend excess energy getting the nutrients out of your food as you can assimilate them in their natural state...it is funny people's aversion to raw food as if they are going out to the field and biting cows and chickens and slurping raw eggs...fresh fruit and vegetables are consumed raw by almost every one yet they really don't think of it in that regard...eating raw is beneficial in so many ways,your energy level will rise your immune system will be stronger, men can throw out their viagra, your skin will glow and your overall feeling of health will have you wondering why you were cooking your food in the first place...i try to stay at least 80% raw, because sometimes you do just want some "comfort food" but then i like to go weeks at a time being 100% raw and i love it...alot of times people are hard on themselves for not being able to maintain their diet as optimal as they would like, but do what you can when you can and dont make yourself feel bad about it, sometimes i feel bad when i eat something cooked and then i remember that i used to eat dead meat and i laugh(some girl back in high school told me i laugh too much, as if)...and then people think eating raw means salads all the time, but if you invest in a dehydrator and food processor or a blender you can greatly expand the meals you prepare and add endless variety to your diet. love yourself, take care of your body, be in tune with the universe not with worldly propaganda...some recipes oh yeah food is considered raw up to about 105 degrees which is when the nutrients start to break down so you don't have to crunch ice all the time;)

random thoughts on health

bad bacteria cannot survive in oxygen rich environments, the appendix long assumed to be vestigial may house good bacteria for times of need, although not for me, yogurt contains good bacteria...bacteria(viruses) feed on sugar, starch breaks down into sugar....most americans consume too much starch and sugar, even non meat eaters as we tend to eat alot of pasta, rice, cereal etc....been getting some tasty creations from the dehydrator, and not just dried fruits in fact haven't had any dry fruit, gonna have to talk to someone about that...don't limit yourself with labels-vegan, vegetarian, find a balance that works for you, just not a meat based diet...a friend takes cholesterol medication and not once did his doctor tell him that meat is the only source of cholesterol on the planet...hmmm....but doctors want you to be healthy don't they...don't they???
...the air quality has been pretty bad the last few days from the fires...so hold your breath...

well here we are in the information/technology age...means no excuses...everything begins with diet...your energy level, your mood...as the old addage says you are what you eat so stop eating meat...we've been mislead into thinking that meat is a food group, when the food group is protein. Meat based diets are the biggest killer on the planet and the farm animals that are raised to be killed are the biggest source of greenhouse gases on the planet...hmmm...from personal experience i have noticed the benefits of a plant based diet...and men you don't need viagra and such, just change your diet. As i have evolved i got more and more into raw food and i try to consume 85 to 100% raw food on a daily basis...realize that we are the only creature on the planet that doesn't naturally exist on a raw diet and realize that the largest animals on the planet consume nothing but veggies... i could go on but i want to hear what you think. let's discuss
