Day 10 Raw Food Challenge Update....I love the term SunCooked

 

 It has been a great journey so far. I am learning more and more about my self and my will power. I can accomplish a goal no matter how difficult as long as set my mind to it and use the appropriate tools to help me. I research the ones before me that have accomplished this goal. I see how they do it and I copy. That is how I succeeded in college, succeeded in my dance company and performed all over South Florida and now complete day 10 of this Raw Fast, lol. No matter how large or small the goal is, does not really matter. The same formula applies. Never give up, get the tools and education you need to succeed and take action. So, even if I pick up a stick of cheese tomorrow, (which I hope to stay away from lol) I will learn how to do this better next time. Until I succeed.

Be good to yourself!

More facts of Raw Food Diet

Nutrition science is fast gaining the reputation of being a healing and preventive device. Dr Nand Kishore Sharma, a naturopath in New Delhi, India, feels that most diseases are caused by bad food habits. "Unnatural food, which includes any form of food not found in nature, generates toxins that gradually poison the body," he says. From his 'Fireless Kitchen', Dr Sharma gives patients regenerative or natural food for degenerative diseases. This, he claims, has cured many. "I have even seen people grow new teeth and hair at 60 and 70 years of age," he says.

Urvashi Rawal is a case in point. A homeopath from Mumbai, India, she suddenly lost her voice in 1988. Doctors could not help her beyond diagnosing that she had developed some nodes on her vocal chords. During this time she met Rishi Prabhakar, who introduced her to his Siddha Samadhi Yoga(SSY) and put her on a complete raw food diet. "I suffered from severe diarrhea for the first few days. In the process, natural food flushed out all the toxins from my body," Rawal (now Ma Urvashi) recalls. Within six months, she regained her voice. Today, she is a senior SSY instructor.

Raw food is usually defined as that which is not cooked, applied to fire or fragmented. Uday Chotai, a naturohygienist from Mumbai, adds: "According to naturopathy, there are two types of food—suncooked and uncooked. Fruits that ripen in the sun fall into the category of suncooked food. Uncooked or raw food have not ripened at all." But both types have high pranic value and meet every requirement of the body.

How does the Raw Food Diet work?

There are numerous variations of the raw food diet, and you have the power to shape your own. Typically, though, about 75 to 80 percent of what you eat each day will be plant-based foods never heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit. (Very few people follow a 100 percent raw diet.) Most followers are vegan, but some choose to consume raw animal products, like raw (unpasteurized) milk, cheese made from raw milk, sashimi, raw fish, and certain kinds of raw meat. You’ll eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, and nuts, including cashews, sunflower seeds, and raw almond butter; some foods are marked as raw and sold at grocery stores, while others require home-prep. Grains are also OK, as are dried organic legumes (think lentils, chickpeas, adzuki beans, and mung beans) eaten raw. Other common choices include cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil; raw virgin coconut oil; and raw coconut butter. Freshly-squeezed vegetable juice and herbal tea are also staples.

  3. Thanks for sharing Shirley. Not a simple diet to manage, but it can be very powerful if you invest the time and thought in keeping a balanced diet, and finding good protein sources.

  4. Great post, djali! Sounds very interesting! I underwent a life-changing diet about 15 years ago. I had been sick for 2 years and all the doctors were scratching their heads. I finally found a nutrition-oriented DABCI (Board Certified Chiropractic Internist) who put me on a rotation diet - all natural foods - nothing processed, no condiments or sauces - just meat, vegetables, fruit, legumes, etc. Nothing canned or boxed or packaged. The relief was practically immediate! Amazing what diet can do for you! Good luck on your journey!
