What is eating Raw all about?

 

It's eating raw and living foods such as fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains - all uncooked. Cooking foods over 118 degrees destroys essential food enzymes needed for proper digestion. Enzymes are the life force of our food. They keep our skin, tissues, cells and body functioning healthy and correctly. Enzymes are the anti-aging of our bodies! When you eat raw, your body quickly and efficiently uses enzymes to carry all the vitamins from the foods you eat to where they need to go. Cooked foods take a long time for your body to digest, and a lot of energy. Raw foods like fruits and veggies digest quickly and give the body more energy and vitality so that it spends less time trying to get rid of the cooked food that can sit in your body for days.

Why eat more Raw?

Americans are quickly getting sick and tired of being sick and tired. That's why the Raw food way of eating is becoming more and more popular. Celebrities such as Woody Harrelson, Carol Alt, and Alicia Silverstone, just to name a few, eat raw foods.

 

When you incorporate more raw food into your eating plan, you'll quickly discover the relationship between what you eat and how it affects your life Spiritually, Emotionally and Mentally. And eating 50 to 70% raw Foods will dramatically improve your life! It's a fact that those who incorporate more raw food in their diets such as fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh juices, and raw nuts often see a huge improvement in overall health and well-being.

 

If you decide to "go raw," how far you decide to take your raw diet is up to you. Some people choose to eat their morning and afternoon meals raw and then eat a cooked dinner. Others claim they feel so good after going completely raw that they've decided to eat 100% raw all the time. Do what feels right to you. Adding more raw fruits and vegetables to your diet never hurt anyone.

As for the health benefits, eating more Raw can lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, improve eyesight, heal allergies and skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis, and even aid in reversing chronic disease like diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia and cancer.

 

What are some more benefits of eating raw foods?

 

* Smooth, clear skin and nails that grow quickly and strong.

* Vibrant, shiny, healthy hair.

* More brain power, focus and concentration.

* Vitality and energy like you had when you were a kid!

* Lose fat and inches quickly and easily - getting to your own natural metabolic weight point.

~ Raw Food Workshop Testimonials 

"Chris and Ginger really enjoy this and I can see this.  It is also very important to me that they are living it showing me that it is possible.

 

During the night I experienced starting out with hopes that I could do this but no confidence whatsoever.  By the end of the class my determination was engaged and the possibility was real.

 

I suspect there is much healing that is involved with shifting our attitudes toward eating.  I have not really considered my relationship with my food until this class.

 

Chris and Ginger make this class feel like a party.  At one point I laughed and asked them if you could get a high off of healthy food.

 

The only thing that I would suggest is to have more hands on.  I never realized I was afraid to make the food. Like I could fail. But there would almost have to be two classes since I can't imagine taking anything out.

 

Thank you for taking the time to share with us.  I really appreciate it."

"Chris and Ginger are very knowledgeable, informed people who share their information in a very comfortable down home" style. I just truly enjoyed having them in my kitchen and learning so much. They gave me great tips on how to vary recipes, where to shop, how I can save money, how to set up my kitchen and more. Anyone can learn from them because they are thorough and combine all the different ways people learn - audial, visual and kinesthetic all at the same time - amazing. They are a great team and I enjoyed their humor too! 

 

I felt enlightened not only by the excellent information shared but by the food itself. Maybe that's because all the fresh raw food prepared receives the direct rays of the sun.  

 

I was aghast to learn how little nutrition I was actually feeding my body when I thought I was eating healthy. I was absolutely in awe at how good tasting all the recipes were - just delicious and delightful and how easy all of them were to make. 

 

What I loved was the validation of the effectiveness of this course. I made the 30 day commitment to eating raw by the end of the course. Before the class, I see-sawed back and forth thinking maybe I would start the last week of June when I had a week off from work so I could practice all the preparing and make sure I knew how to do everything. Toward the end of the course, I had no doubt in my mind I could start right way and I knew I wanted to start feeding my body this healthy, delicious, higher vibrational food."

"Chris looks so good, his skin looks so youthful. He has really trimmed up in a healthy looking manner. Chris had made wonderful raw food dishes and brought to share with our weight loss group seminar at CenterPoint one night.  

 

The presentation of the food was awesome. Beautiful in its presentation. It looked like it belonged in a very exclusive restaurant. And, I have to admit, I was worried that it was going to be an experience like when you learn there is no Santa Claus. I was so afraid that the RAW would not taste good and that it would be a major disappointment.  WELL, ALL OF IT WAS TOTALLY DELICIOUS. NOT JUST GOOD, IT WAS BEYOND EARTHLY DESCRIPTION. NO WAY TO GIVE IT CREDIT BY USING EARTHLY WORDS. What did we have? A beautiful dip that was made with an onion taste that Chris said was made by using nuts. Ed said, "I recognize that this is sour cream and onion." Chris said, "No, no dairy is used. It has nuts as the major ingredient." It was so delicious and he had made it look beautiful by garnishing  it with scallion tops cut in streamers like a maypole.

 

The flaxseed crackers had colorful peppers in the batter and it made a wonderful taste and presentation to go with the dip. Delicious. I used to say, "I will know I am in Heaven when I am presented with chocolate and am told that it is healthy for me" and it is healthy! The other two dishes met my criteria for Heaven. One was an almond/chocolate swirl that was beautiful and wonderful to eat, moist with some nuts that you could taste with a chocolate taste blended with almonds. Heaven. Then, the star of the night, a chocolate that was cut like sushi and was a chocolate mint. Both of the chocolate dishes were very moist, creamy, delicious and beautiful. It was just like being in Heaven with an angel delivery.
 
The people who attended were lucky...and I noticed they moved from skeptics about raw...to intellectualizers....to totally interested.

 

Thanks again, Chris and Ginger

 

P. S.  I am not exaggerating one bit. I had been very fearful that we were all looking for "pie in the sky" and that raw would not really be tasty. I KNOW NOW DEFINITIVELY THAT WE HAVE BEEN DIVINELY HELPED, AND CHRIS AND GINGER WERE THE COURAGEOUS ONES WHO HAD THE COURAGE TO MOVE INTO THIS NEW REALM SO THAT WE COULD ALL EXPERIENCE THIS WONDERFUL FOOD.
