Real Foods!!!


I am a huge supporter of a raw/vegan, real food diet. Since I incorporated these changes into my daily diet I have experienced major improvement in my overall health and energy level. Here are some great suggestions on how to incorporate some tips for a healthier lifestyle that have worked for me. (By Dr. Neish Joshi)

Returning to a more natural way of eating is the best way to avoid disease and premature aging. It also keeps the weight off. Buy organic foods, shop in your local farmer’s markets. Increase the consumption of vegetables, fruits, seeds, grains and legumes. More raw foods are better for health (enzymes remain intact), the environment (smaller carbon footprint) and the pocket (lower utility bills).
  • Avoiding all refined carbohydrates including white flour and sugar
  • Avoiding all foods with chemical preservatives and flavorings including foods that contain toxic elements (such as heavy metals, e.g. tuna)
  • Drinking at least one to two liters of pure water daily to help the body clean and detoxify itself
  • Eating fruit and vegetables that are ripe, fresh and as free of chemical fertilizers as possible
  • Minimizing tea, coffee or caffeine, dairy products, and alcohol
  • Boosting your health and vitality with a diet rich in organic, ripe fruits and vegetables.
  • Sleeping at least eight hours a night and practicing some gentle exercise, yoga or meditation every day to reduce the effects of stress on the body
