Raw Food: You Can Transform Your Body And Your Life!
The Raw Food Movement is showing up everywhere! More and more people are discovering the miracle of it: overcoming life-long diseases like asthma, arthritis, high blood pressure, cancer, obesity and weight issues. They are literally transforming their bodies and their lives by embracing this nutritional approach.
The principle of it is simple: eat only live, raw, foods. There are no stoves in a raw foodist’s kitchen. Nothing is cooked or fried or baked. Instead the appliances in this kitchen are blenders, food processors, food dehydrators, and juicers. Instead of cheese, you make nut pates. Instead of pasta, you use vegetables.
Matt Monarch read a book about raw foods and the effect of processed starches adn refined sugars on his body and instantly changed his diet to a completely raw food diet the very next day. That was over six years ago. The following very inspiring video is Matt telling his story. He discusses some of the issues and high notes of his experiences. Also in the video is Matt’s friend Angela, who weighed 300 pounds and lost much of it using only a raw foods diet. You can see for yourself.
Read about Raw Spirit, a book by Matt Monarch
The Boutenko family, now known as "The Raw Family," is another case in point.
They were seriously ill in 1994 when they embarked on a diet of entirely raw
foods. Victoria had arrhythmia and edema and was obese and depressed.
Igor suffered from painful rheumatoid arthritis and sever hyperthyroid.
Sergei was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and was supposed to go on insulin.
Valya had asthma.
Today they are healthy and have completely overcome their disease. They
did this through a raw foods diet. Their story is chronicled in the book
The Raw Family, available through their website, rawfamily.com, by clicking on
their photo. The site is a storehouse of resources and information on raw foods, preparation, reference material and a whole lot more. Be sure to sign up for their newsletter.
