Last August when a dear friend introduced me to the concept of Raw Foods, I felt so inspired and ready, that nine months later I feel even more alive and radiant. As a result, my body became 15 lbs. lighter, lots of new hair growth, higher energy level daily, lighter digestive system and just amazing overall well-being!
I am still learning and fine tuning a balanced Raw Foods meal planning that is right for me. I have to say that changing to a plant-based diet/ raw foods requires a period of time, maybe a year minimum, for the body's chemistry to adapt, stabilize and for the mind to accept this new natural way of relating to foods. The social pressure, habits and our own beliefs and rules about food/nutrition go deep in our DNA programming.
The many health benefits of being on a Raw Food/Plant-based diet are so rewarding once you go through the adaptation process. I feel healthier, younger, and still have many friends that will comment on how much smaller and healthier I look.
For me, this new way of relating with whole live foods and their preparation has become my way of contributing towards a healthier me and this in turn is a benefit to others that view my example. We can all make this change, if we really want to, become healthier, vibrant and most of all Happy with ourselves!
Educate yourself, make a decision to take responsibility for your own health, have a support group or coach and don't wait another day to start a healthier New YOU!
I may be reached for coaching or support.
To your health,
