Lesson from The Quintessence of Natural Living.
If we are to survive and thrive, we must get back to nature. We live in stressful times, and it has been found that people who eat a high raw diet can better deal with stress. People who eat raw foods recover faster from jet lag, so it is a good idea to only eat fresh fruit before traveling and on the day of travel. Raw food balances your body chemistry which helps keep you calm and healthy.
If you are always tired, with not enough pep and vigor, then switch to a natural hygiene diet of 75-80% raw fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouts and see how much better you feel in a few weeks. Raw foods have a high potassium and magnesium content.
I would like to inspire you to stick to a hygienic lifestyle and diet. Let your main meal be fresh fruit or a vegetable salad. Keep the cooked food to only 20% of your total diet. Eat most of your food raw, and you will need less food. One third of what you eat keeps you alive, the other two thirds keep the doctors alive. Grow as much food as you can and shop at the local farmer's markets in your town. Ask the growers if they spray with chemicals.
Cook your food as quickly as possible and in as little water as possible. Steaming is a good way to cook. Don't eat more than one cooked meal per day. Say no to the things that are killing you.
