Live Food Challenge Day 24 and ITF Update...


  • Energy: Fruits and vegetables are much easier to digest than meat, dairy and eggs. If your body isn’t working so hard to digest and process food, it has more energy to put towards other things, like brain power and exercise.
  • Better sleep: Maybe it’s because eating more living foods has been proven to reduce joint swelling and inflammation that’s linked to arthritis that’s helping raw vegans sleep better. They can also rest easy knowing that their cholesterol levels are dropping by the minute.
  • Weight loss: Changing to a plant-based diet has many benefits, like lowering insulin levels, reducing fat intake and increasing dietary fiber, and these all lead to aiding in weight loss. Just removing a lot of the processed foods in your diet will help you drop a few pounds. And with that extra energy that we noted above, you’ll probably start and stick to that exercise program, which will help drop a few more unwanted pounds!
  • Clear skin: It’s been proven that dairy products contribute to breakouts for acne-prone skin. Ditch the dairy and that lifelong problem of bad skin will disappear within a week or so. Can clear skin really be that simple? Yes, it can.
  • Eco-friendly: Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma (we’re not just quoting vegans here), states that it takes 10 pounds of grain to create one pound of beef. “There would be plenty of grain for everyone if we actually ate it as food and didn’t use it to make meat. Reducing world meat consumption–or feeding our food animals differently–would leave more grain for the world’s hungry,” Pollan stated in an article for Newsweek.
  • It’s yummy: If you think that eating vegan or raw vegan means that you’ll be eating nothing but salads for the rest of your life, you’re mistaken. Pick up any of Go Raw’s products to see just how delicious raw vegan can be! And cruise the aisles of any good grocery store and you’ll see lots of vegan alternatives to your current favorite foods. Of course, we recommend never missing the produce section, which is the best part of the store. If you don’t fancy figuring out how to be raw vegan in the kitchen, contact us at the Go Raw L.I.F.E. Center and we’ll discuss how we can help you.
