• oh, on that topic, someone asked me the other day if i needed to shop at a special store for my food. i was like “no, just any grocery store with a produce section.” i think we need to start to promoting this lifestyle as “back to basics,” rather th…

• angie— 1) important to bring up that fresh produce should not logically be more expensive than processed foods and animal products. think about all the energy, labor, packaging, and raw food product that is put into a can of cooked peas, or potato c…

• kevyn—seeds are definitely more reliable. as long as they are organic they are non-irradiated. pumpkin, sunflower, sesame etc… since you can freeze nuts safely, i bought 10 lbs of almonds from a farm in california. it was only $5 a lb with free ship…

• nycgrrl—haha i feel ya. how is your csa going? maybe they’ll drop one off. southernlover—thanks. that makes sense. i noticed if i ate it slower (and with breaks) it didn’t happen. i didn’t know why though.

• i LOVE watermelon. i get this awful pain in my chest when i eat too much of it though… i think it eat it too fast. =) yeah, i’m not sure about seedless. i’d get organic to be safe. and it’s only $1 more expensive in my stores, so why not?

• you start with your feet and just make strong sweeping motions up from your toes to your ankles, from the bottom of your calves etc… with special attention to behind the knees. then there is some contention about whether you should brush to or away …

• chia seeds are something i have a little concern about. the only two packets i’ve seen at whole foods are “branded.” they aren’t sold as “chia seeds” but rather by their brand name (the word “CHIA” doesn’t even feature on the label). i am a little w…

• sounds good. in summer it’s super easy to be raw. you might even challenge yourself to just eat raw for one whole day, and go back and forth between 60-75%... i did it for 2 weeks last summer and was amazed, and then i went back and forth a little u…

• i concur with sea salt. also, i find that my sonicare toothbrush is pretty efficient on its own, and i’ve been using a little coconut oil and that’s it. sometimes i use baking soda too.

• oh, in terms of diet: SIMPLE. you want to give your body the least amount of work possible. healing is the result of what we LEAVE OUT of our diet, not what we include. to get a better idea, it would be helpful to hear what your diet is like though.
