  • I would say it is pretty impossible to get too much sodium eating whole unseasoned unaltered fresh plant foods. I believe that plant foods are designed to give us perfect amounts of nutrients. Now, if you are taking supplements or eating sodium chlo…

  • >> I am very indecisive (maybe because I'm a Libra). I'm also young and I guess I need to make mistakes for myself. I think I'll wait it out. Thanks for your advice.
  • I truly believe that whatever taste you have in the beginning of a relationship will reflect what is to come if you continue it. So if you go into a relationship and receive kindness, support and love that is what you will get in the future. If you …
  • If you have digestive problems, the beans may not go over so well unfortunately. I don't do a lot of sprouted beans myself. Although the 'real hummus' on this site I love, maybe you can try that recipe and add it to your salads, it's out of this wor…
  • Zin, is it a particular type of fat that you can't eat? Are you talking about a pure fat like a type of oil or a a high fat item like nuts/nut butters? I say this because if you are trying to eat pure fats you really don't need to anyway as they are…
  • If you strain the milk after blending you don't have to worry about peeling.
  • What else was in the smoothie? I hope you guys feel better soon. I hope you are able to keep your child hydrated! Sometimes it's hard to keep anything down in that state.
  • I don't know, but I often notice a weird taste in my mouth/bad breath after eating mushrooms.
  • I say the more power to you. I have trouble eating both raw, so I'm jealous.
  • The biggest difference would be the processing. Natural sea salt is minimally processed, sometimes sun dried. Both conventional and sea salt's main ingredient is sodium chloride - conventional table salt ie Morton's contains nearly 100% while differ…

  • 1.) Why do you eat raw? Health and well being, keeps my cholesterol low, energy levels up, mind clear. 2.) What are your thoughts about cooked food? Damaging yet addicting, sometimes can be soothing. 3.) How does eating raw shape your identity? I fi…
  • What are you eating, exactly?
  • If you can get sesame seeds and blend them into a butter you'll get a better result. It can be on the bitter side, I don't use it much except in hummus.
  • Thanks evergreen! I wonder if those 12 foods were part of the OP article but got cut off. I think the hardest and/or most expensive one out there to get organic for me would be the sweet bell peppers. I am always compromising and getting them conven…
  • What are the actual 12 foods you don't have to buy organic per title of article, did I miss it? I see 12 foods you do have to buy organic and 4 foods that have low pesticide residue. Am I missing something?
  • Corn is very palatable raw, you can eat it right off the cob, as long as it's freshly picked it has a very sweet milky flavor to it. The longer you wait, the starchier it gets, so eat it as soon as picked. I might eat tender asparagus but brussels s…
  • IMO: Not all scientists believe in the theory of evolution - I believe humans were fully created and provided with an abundance of fresh plant foods to eat, but over time, with flooding, seasons, weather conditions and humans becoming nomadic,etc. o…
  • Try calling all your local health food and natural foods stores and co-ops. I found some at a local natural foods store, but just to let you know, I was disappointed in the flavor of the goji berries, they ended up in my fridge for months but I just…
  • I was on the 7 day Diva Detox from www.therawdivas.com and I was really, really cold. The detox was no fats or seasonings but I broke down and had some hot peppermint tea with honey. It was a lifesaver. I agree with having hot beverages, or maybe so…
  • reciprocipe: "Why is it important to be 100% raw? -- just be healthy. I am I guess about 85% raw" ----- Being "healthy" may mean something different with each person. If you want 100% of the benefits of raw, you can't be 80%, does that make sense? I…
  • I wouldn't know where to find a study, not sure if there even are any out there. There may be some nutritional loss, but home-frozen is certainly better than commercially frozen as supposedly they are blanched beforehand. Who knows how much is actua…
  • Yes, very much so. My friend proudly uses Bath & Body products and I can't stand smelling them, I can feel the chemicals in my lungs.
  • Great link 3crows! Just about did me in while I am on my detox here, he he. will definitely bookmark it, thanks!
  • I think it's great as long as you aren't burning up more calories than you consume, unless you plan on losing weight. Looking forward to reading your progress on this. I would love to implement something like this, just think of how little and how e…

  • You could try switching up your greens in your smoothies, so you get a variety of nutrients, you can also try a variety of things based on what's in season. I love a little parsley in my smoothies sometimes. Other times I enjoy a fruit smoothie stra…

  • One thing I started doing was following Tonya Zovasta's advice of using a face brush and following up with a natural cream - she has some awesome creams that I plan to order, but meanwhile I'm using Burt's Bees Marshmallow vanishing cream. http://ww…
  • The best thickeners are dense fruits such as bananas, frozen bananas and fresh & frozen mangos. The more of these dense fruits you have in relation to liquid, the thicker they will be. Be sure you have a powerful blender. May I recommend trying …

  • I agree about making it as easy as possible. Can you eat bananas? Those are a lifesaver, you can put them in a smoothie and they are very filling. Just bananas and water if you'd like, surprisingly tasty. Then, if you'd like something a little more …
  • How about a banana ice cream cake? You can slice and freeze banana pieces, then process it and press it into a spring form pan and freeze. If you want, you can layer it with frozen processed strawberries with banana for a different layer of flavor.
  • I used to run the arils (seeds) through my juicer, but a lot of them just spit out of the spinning basket without getting juiced. It's much more productive and efficient to blend the arils in a blender and then strain; you don't *have* to strain bec…
