Let&#8217;s start with the basics: if you give the body what it needs &#8211; the building blocks, clean building blocks &#8211; it can do almost anything. It can prevent disease, it can relieve disease, it can anti-age; it can also self-sufficiently prevent flu, colds, sinus infections, and headaches. All this I know from first-hand knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>People always say that as you get older, physical things get worse: that the body starts to break down. Well for me, 17 years ago I was worse than today. I was dealing with so many petty little health issues: constant sinus infections, constant sore throat, bloat, brittle hair and nails, terrible indigestion (acid reflux). And today I have none of these issues.<\/p>\n<p>17 years ago I lived on Afrin, Tums, and Tylenol, to name a few of the over-the-counter drugs that I wouldn&#8217;t leave home without. Today I take none. When people ask me how I did it, all I say is that a I changed my diet. When I say I went raw, that&#8217;s where I lose them. They get all flustered and frustrated and tell me they can&#8217;t be as disciplined as I am.<\/p>\n<p>The amazing thing about my change of diet to raw was that I was able to eat more, I was never hungry, I was never feeling bad, and I always had energy. And today raw is everywhere! Once you know what to look for, you will be shocked at how readily available, delicious, and healing it is.<\/p>\n<p>Many people are raw vegan (they eat no animal products at all &#8211; that includes fish, honey, dairy products etc.). I am not a vegan raw foodist. I eat fish, i.e. tartare and carpaccio. I eat meat, i.e. carpaccio and tartare. I also eat seared food \u2013 cooked on the outside but raw on the inside. Because I preach eating 75 to 95% raw.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bresaola (air dried beef)<\/li>\n<li>Prosciutto (cured pork)<\/li>\n<li>Gravlax (cured salmon) (yes &#8211; cured is raw)<\/li>\n<li>Real Pickles \u2013 raw pickles (yes I know you think your pickles are raw \u2013 they are not, they are cooked)<\/li>\n<li>Cold Pressed Olive Oil<\/li>\n<li>Udos Choice Oil<\/li>\n<li>Raw Apple Cider Vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just some of the staples that can immediately change how you feel. I also had chocolate lava cake yesterday \u2013 all raw!<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you&#8217;re watching me eat my chocolate lava cake, and wondering how come I stay skinny, healthy, and happy eating so much &#8211; and such fabulous desserts &#8211; just remember: I eat raw!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s amazing to me after so many years of lecturing about raw food, and teaching about nutrition, that people still are confused about what to eat.
