Health

Ok, everyone by now has probably heard how some celebs have tried the “raw food” trend. But how many of you know that there actually is a real raw food lifestyle in which more and more people are finding huge benefits?

The trendy raw food diets are not the healthiest (high fat, complicated recipes, low in carbohydrates, low in water content), but there is a more logical approach that doesn’t get as much press. That of a high fruit and green diet, eaten raw. Athletes are getting a huge increase in their potential by following such a diet.

I think that one of these days the word is going to spread and a celeb is going to try a more healthful raw food diet and the popularity will surge.

Here are some benefits my friends and I have experienced:

Ten Signs of Happiness from Eating Raw

• 1) You don’t need gas for cooking, and if you live in a warm climate, you don’t have to pay for gas at all anymore.
• 2) When you are following a healthy lifestyle, other people don’t have to pay for your gas anymore.
• 3) You have placed a cutting board over your unused oven, expanding your working kitchen space.
• 4) You can count the number of ingredients in your meal on one hand, and you can pronounce all of them. You don’t need “accessories” with your meals in order to help them digest, such as antacids or enzyme supplements, because you are now eating human food.
• 5) You no longer need soap when washing dishes. Cooking oils and dried cooked crud are things of the past. Washing becomes rinsing and is done in a minute.
• 6) Sleeping like a baby doesn’t mean anything unusual to you.
• 7) Your old friend Mr. Acne no longer visits, and you didn’t have to spend a dime on cleansers or drugs.
• 8 ) If your raw diet is also low in fat, you no longer need deodorants and anti-perspirants.
• 9) You can hardly remember what it was like to get headaches, colds, and flus.
• 10) You laugh when you remember how you used to live in fear of coming into contact with germs, and you now have no hesitation being around those who are sick. Your friends appreciate you for this when they are sick.
