Getting the Best Out of a Raw Food or Vegan Lifestyle
You are what you eat!
When good old Gillian McKeith declared 'You Are What You Eat', she was sharing a pretty good point with the masses! The food we choose to nourish ourselves with affects our entire lives in a holistic (or whole) way. If we eat rubbish, then our bodies have a tendency to become (and look) rubbish, along with our minds becoming foggy, unclear and surprise, surprise, rubbish too! So there we go, a whole knock-on effect has occurred, just by not giving the body what it ultimately wants - natural nutrition!
Working with nature
Getting back to basics is an under-estimated tool for re-educating ourselves within the great journey of restoring one's health. For example, a few questions for you - when you last watched a wildlife programme and heard Richard Attenborough commenting on a pack of lions, did you ever notice that one of the pack were suffering morbid obesity and was experiencing breathing difficulties as a result?
Have you ever seen a sick wild wood pigeon knocking back doses of antibiotics for its chest infection, after it took itself down to the doctors?
And last, but by all means not least, have you ever seen a wild rabbit binge eat, to the point of being so stuffed it has to loosen its fur, for comfort?
No, thought not, as this has never ever happened within the context of the wild, when humans have not intervened! Nature has a way of working things out, providing you abide by its rules, with absolutely no exception.
The Rules of Nature, (in layman’s terms) are:
- To eat natural foods, (designed for your species!)
- To use only natural remedies on and in your body.
- To have faith in nature and what it can offer you.
- To respect and listen to your body, following your own intuition.
If you only follow 1,2 or 3 of nature's rules, you won't reap all the given health benefits that are currently (and for as long as the world exists) on offer. Nature asks that you follow its four golden rules. Of course, other aspects naturally come into the equation, but these are the basic four principles. If you follow these four principles in life, it would be highly unlikely for you to suffer from being overweight, develop a chronic illness, or suffer a ’breakdown’ of any sort.
