AW: AW: Jan/ raw food - revisited

[Guest guest]

My goodness, that was fast - your answer came before I could even say

"vegetable salad". The viscosity of your blood must indeed be excellent! :-)

 

Thanks much for your answers.

:Jan,

:

:as I eat most (not all) of my food raw, this topic is quite fascinating for

:me, so here are a few questions for you, if you don't mind...

 

No, I never mind

:

:Do you take any milk products at all? I know there is this argument about

:no

:living creature other than man feeding on milk beyond the first months or

:years of life. On the other hand, many of the holy scriptures of India

:advocate dairy products as an excellent pure food for yogis. Not to forget

:Sri Krishna himself who is said to have been very fond of cottage cheese!

:How do you feel about this issue?

 

No, I don't take milk products - they are highly processed, the antibiotics

issue,

killing calves etc...

Unprocessed milk is a different issue although the argument of "a cow, your

mother?"

remains valid. What matters is how the body processes it - and to know that,

a full detoxification is required first. "To be fond of" says nothing -

Nisargadatta

for instance was fond of cigarettes

:

:I'd also be interested to know how you handle starches. I may be wrong

:here,

:but I think it might be difficult to go without starches in the cold

:climates during winter. Do you incorporate any of the grains into your

:diet?

:Do you eat your potatoes raw?

 

Neither starches nor grains in my diet but here too, the same issue:

The use of freshly made flakes from whole cereals in salads for instance

keeps the

food unprocessed and then, the body can handle the starch properly.

Initially, I did that in Belgium, as a transition to fruits only.

And I wouldn't refuse such a salad now.

A cold climate doesn't make a difference, in fact, cold climate wasn't as

much

a problem as with diets of processed food, because the viscosity of blood

gets less - blood flows easier (faster) through the capillary vessels.

Hence the body can distribute heat easier.

:

:Do you use vegetable oils? Spices?

 

In salads, olive oil - pressed cold.

:

:Regarding liquids - how much, and what, do you drink? Water? Herb teas?

:Fruit juices? Coca Cola? No, just kidding about the last one.

 

Drinking solely depends on exercise and temperature - in summer, a lot of

water,

in winter, a few teas. Fruit juices rarely, juicing fruits is a waste,

better prepare a

blend of the whole fruits (when possible, include peel and pips).

:

:So if you should feel inclined to give a little lecture on these items, it

:would be much appreciated.

 

Lecturing - no thanks, the issue is always to make one self-reliant by

showing how to learn.

What differs in people is what could be called "digestive power"

and that includes detoxification. When that is very good, it will be

possible

to eat anything without "bad" results - until the system wears out (age),

and then ....

A system that is always bordering on overload, wears out fast...

 

So the mark of good diet is excellent health, abundant energy, a non-smelly

body,

non-smelly excrements, joyous mood. When waking up, no slime in the throat

or the nose,

No crusts or slime in the eyes. In fact, there would be no need to take a

shower...

And the skin has to be somewhat oily - the natural protection....
