Let’s talk about food combining today. It isn’t something you need to pay too much attention to at first…your main focus is to eat raw and STAY raw. Once you have been eating raw for awhile and are ready to take this to the next level, proper food combining is the next step.

Basically, different foods digest at different rates of speed. If we eat a food that digests quickly with a food that digests more slowly it can result in gas or bloating and maybe heartburn. To avoid these problems, use proper food combining…

• Fruit digests most quickly…takes an hour or two….it’s best to eat alone because it doesn’t combine well with other foods (different digestion rates) and it’s best to eat it on an empty stomach.
• Melons should always be eaten alone. They digest very quickly.
• Fresh juices and smoothies should be taken on an empty stomach and at least 30 min before any other food. They also digest very quickly.
• It’s best not to eat fruit and veggies together…fruit digests fast and veggies much more slowly.
• Any greens and veggies go well together.
• Avocados combine well with fruit and veggies.

These are basic guidelines. Use it as a basic rule, but you don’t have to go boogie over it :)

Got the taxes filed yesterday… nothing like waiting till the last second :)

I learned something yesterday that I wanted to share with everybody… well, the ladies anyway…

I found out that heavy menstrual cycles, nasty cramps and pain in the ovaries in between cycles is most often simply a Vit K deficiency and a high estrogen level. Did you know that those symptoms are one of the most common reasons doctors give women a hysterectomy?? Guess what that means ladies??? That means MORE GREEN SMOOTHIES! The raw food diet itself is going to bring the estrogen levels into balance. How we end up with an excess is through meat and dairy products. Eliminate those and our hormones will balance out. All we need to do is drink more green smoothies… Vit K is abundant in collard, kale, romaine and other greens.

Here is another example where God gave us exactly what we need to be healthy and strong and keep all of our parts! The recipe section for a couple of days will be some different smoothies.

Up until now I have been saying that eating a raw food diet of fresh fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds will heal… well, to be exact, the food doesn’t actually heal… your body does the healing. God made our bodies to rejuvenate themselves. Think about it, people in the Old Testament lived hundreds of years, having children, and working very hard for most of those years! They were strong and healthy and very very old by our definition. The same way your body heals a cut on your finger will it heal itself of all the horrible diseases we have come to accept as common in our day… including aging! All we need to do is give it the proper building blocks.

Think of it like this: If you hired a master builder and told him to build a magnificent building and gave him nothing to build with, at the end of the time he may have something, but it will not be anywhere near his potential. If you give him the tools and the proper materials, on the other hand, he’ll have a masterpiece to show for it. Our bodies are the same way. God is the Master Builder and He gave us all the tools and materials we need to keep this temple strong.

If we eat the foods He originally intended us to eat as outlined in Genesis when He spoke to Adam and Eve, we will be strong and healthy until we go home to be with Him. I’m not saying we’ll live to be 900 years old, but that’s ok by me! I’ll take 100 strong, healthy and productive years! How about you?

Did you know that eating a raw food diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seed with no cooked or processed food will do this???

• Cure acne
• Relieve arthritis
• Relieve the pain you have no idea what it’s from
• Relieve back pain
• Cause your eye sight to improve

Stay tuned for more!

Did you know??
