This segment more than any other will probably earn me the most criticism, especially from those in the raw food world who are supporting the same mission that I am on — which is to spread this message of self-healing and get information out there on how people can alkalize their bodies and empower themselves to solve their own health problems.The truth is, regardless of difference of opinions on certain fault lines, we are all on the same team if
The term ‘raw foods’ is mentioned a lot throughout the course of Rapid Regeneration and the scope of different topics which are investigated here. I use this term loosely because this lifestyle is not really about living with strict, unbreakable rules. The exact definitions of what works best for each individual are best sculpted by that individual’s natural intuition and instincts about what works for him or her.You may have one person who is functioning at their best when they
Trust me — you are undoubtedly going to run up on a time (or many times) when your willpower breaks down and you lack the discipline to continue eating the healthiest of foods. While much of this knowledge is mechanical, tactical, and anatomical, the journey of fixing your problems using raw foods is actually probably 80% mental, emotional, and in need of your innate spirit and energy to make this work.Emotionally speaking, you can get ratted out and will reach
We have covered throughout this program about the role of fats and the importance of getting essential fatty acids. We have also highlighted the dynamic whereby you can actually consume excessive amounts of fat and the issues that this can present in terms of overworking your digestive organs as well as slowing down your lymphatic system in its cleansing and detoxification efforts.There is also something else to be considered, which would be — what kind of fatty acids are ideally
As you improve what you are eating, and find yourself eating more of living, raw, electrical foods, just keep in mind that you have been conditioned your whole life eating a certain way. You will probably find yourself leaning heavily onto the types of flavors, textures, and nutrients which are so common in a regular diet — salty, savory, protein-rich, fatty, sumptuous types of foods. This is typical of the Standard American Diet and of many diets around the world.Nuts
We’ve looked at the role of fats, and we will look at the role of nuts and seeds. We have certainly looked at the important central role of fresh, ripe fruits. What about the role of vegetables?“Eat your vegetables,” your mother would always say to you — remember that? “No dessert until you clear your plate.” Vegetables have been touted as the healthiest foods out there and have earned that spot in popular culture, as well as among mainstream diet
This is going to be the chapter that everybody faults me for and I’ll surely be skewered from all sides. People may resent how puritanical and/or radical this sounds, but I can’t just leave this one alone. It’s far too important and my job is to give you the tools to be successful and truly eliminate your health problems. If you’re eating foods that cause toxicity and acidic conditions within the body, then you’re going to be sabotaging your own
Food combining is one of those critical areas that can be the key difference-maker in an individual either achieving optimal, robust health, or somebody falling way short of that and continuing to sabotage their health, and not knowing why.Somebody could really clean up their consumption of food and eat very healthily, or even make a full transition into raw foods — due to the desire to solve their health problems or achieve ideal levels of energy — but still unknowingly
When you start to eat healthier and after you go through a transition phase and really start to get into a lifestyle of healthy food consumption, people might get worried and express genuine concern for your well-being. They might say things like, “Do you get enough protein?” Or, “Aren’t you eating too much sugar?” Or, “Are you eating enough variety?” These are issues which are addressed in other segments in more detail, and these types of things that people tend
It’s important to address some of the commonly held beliefs about certain perceived problems or deficiencies with eating lots of fruit that are held by the general public and of course proliferated by those in mainstream science and media. One concern that is brought up frequently is the phobia of sugar and all things sugar-related. This is an iron law it seems in the culture of: Sugar is Evil.If you recall from the chapter entitled ‘Simple Sugars vs. Complex Sugars:
