As for me, I am going to start incorporating more raw food into my diet. And 30% raw seems doable right now. Who knows where I would be in a year or so. Maybe it’ll stay the same or I might go 50% or 70% or 90%? (I hope.) I just know the thought of giving up charcoal barbecue chicken and my vegetable stew is not an option right at this moment. I can’t trade it in just yet. But perhaps one day, what I am going to reap from a raw diet will convince me to change my way.

Changes are uncomfortable. I mean—all our life we live a certain way and to expect yourself to suddenly jump onto a new bandwagon isn’t easy. New habits take time to build and adjust into. Sometimes we fall off, sometimes we need support to put us right back on the ride. Sometimes we just got to experience the pain and agony to really convince us that feeling better, lighter, healthier, and more energetic is way better than a burger or a pizza. Instant gratification. In my case, vegetable stew and BBQ chicken. Yum!

Honestly, I don’t know. Where this adventure will take me but I am hoping for the best! There’s enough social proof to say there’s something miraculous about this raw diet, and I just can’t let my doubts stop me. I have to go on the ride and test it for myself.

Extraordinary results gain simply by changing our lifestyle to a healthier alternative that takes care and appreciates our given vessel on this earth –our body. The more we take care of our body and nourish it, the better we feel, the more energy we have, the better our life!

We probably take better care of our car than we do of our physical body. For instance, we always check if we are putting lead or unleaded fuel into our vehicle. But do we stop to think –am I putting junk or fuel efficient nourishment for my own engine! See, we all do that at one time or another. It’s easy to be tempted and seduced by the scent of freshly fried or cooked food and them fresh off the grill steaks.

It’s very addictive. I get it. In fact, I am still eating it. I’m not saying go 100% RAW now. Just simply start incorporating more raw food into your diet and check how you feel. Then begin to slowly eliminate the food that has little nutritional value or that actually does more harm than good for our body like sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and eventually diary, meat, and cooked food. Go at your own pace, and continue educating yourself about your body and nutrition. The more we know, the better we can take care of our body, mind, and spirit.

Test drive it yourself. Maybe this raw thing will work for you? If not, then fine. Not all paths are right for every individual. Find your own road and see what feels right to you.

Is going 100% raw the answer to all our problem? The documentary I watched, Raw for Life – The Ultimate Encyclopedia of the Raw Food Lifestyle certainly had enough raw enthusiasts routing for it. Yes, you might be thinking this is totally bias. They are mostly raw lovers and advocates. That’s true. But what about those who weren’t and then went raw and gain tons of health benefits.

For example, in Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days 6 diabetics volunteer to go on an organic raw retreat camp at Tree of Life centre in Arizona. They ate nothing but raw organic greens and fruits for 30 days straight in order to reverse disease without pharmaceutical medication. And what about Angela Stokes’ story; how she overcome her uncontrollable overeating and went from 279 pounds to 138 pounds and gain improvements in her health.

Then there’s Morgan Spurlock. You might remember him from the documentary film Super Size Me where he attempted to demonstrate the negative health effects of McDonald’s food by eating nothing but McDonalds three times a day, every day, for a whole month. After his 30 day McDonald’s diet, Morgan was put on a vegan detox diet by his wife, Alex. All caffeine, sugar, processed food were cut out and he essentially went cold turkey for 8 straight week. He said he went on a massive withdrawal like a drug addict. And was shaking. This lasted 3 days. Until his body finally detoxify the toxinicity levels. His body was able to reverse those created health issues from those fast food consumption.

Don’t these results speak for itself?

I know each individual is different and their body adapts differently, but essentially all human bodies are made to have a healing mechanism, right? Just like some of the experts explained in the documentary, that our body wants to heal itself –and if given the chance and the nutrition our body craves, then it pushes the toxic junk out of our system and replace it with more vital resources that repair and rejuvenate our cells. That’s why out of the six volunteers, those that weren’t seduced by their negative thoughts, discomforts, and temptations made it to the finish line with a new healthier body. They decreased their medication dosages or were no longer on insulin –some even became free from diabetes and fatigue!
