Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Hi!<br><br>I am from Toronto, Ontario. It's been rather easy to be raw during hot summer. But now winter is coming and it is tough here in Toronto. Even now, when temperatures drop to around 10 C, I feel that only worm soup or drink can worm up my body. How deal with cold winter, when temperatures is below -10/15 C? What eat/drink to feel worm? Any advice?<br><br>By the way, maybe is there anyone from my neibourhood?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 You might consider moving:)<br><br>You shouldn't have a problem growing sprouts. I've dined on a meal with 5 to 6 different items prepared exclusively with sprouts when I visited the Optimum Health Institute of San Diego. I'm relatively new to this, but would like to learn how they did that.<br><br>* Sproutarian - one whose diet is predominantly sprouts. Those eating only sprouts are extremely rare; most sproutarians have a varied raw food diet. <br><br>* Living Fooder - version of sproutarianism. The Ann Wigmore-style living fooder has a vegan diet centered on sprouts, raw fermented foods, and raw blended foods. Hippocrates Institute (Brian Clement) and Gabriel Cousens teach similar, yet slightly different, versions of living foods diets. <br><br><a href=http://www.living-foods.com/articles/typesofraw.html target=new>http://www.living-foods.com/articles/typesofraw.html</a><br><br>I'm in So Calif, and even though I live in an area that has lots of different produce available year round, I am interested in learning about and doing more sprouting as I belive it is a very healthy way to go.<br><br>I just reread your question and don't think I've addressed it very well. I was born and raised in N Dak. so am familiar with what is coming for you. I would suggest just wearing more and heavier clothes to stay warm. Heat raw soups to 110 degrees. Drink plain or flavored hot water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 <a href=http://www.rawparadise.50megs.com target=new>http://www.rawparadise.50megs.com</a><br>I just wanted to send this website for everyone to see and think about. If you live someplace where you can't grown your own vegitables and fruits year round then consider moving. My friend Pete had a wonderful idea about a " Raw Paridise " community and we are in the midst of forming right now. Check out his ideas on land options, there are some beautiful places to dream about. We hope to leave in December to scout out Costa Rica.<br>Take a look and see what you think. It's better than freezing again next winter.<br>Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 Thanks W_C_Feelgood! As tempting as it is, moving is out of question for me right now. And generally I love to live in a place when seasons change naturally What I was hoping for was some information on the kings of veggies or fruit that act warming on our body. I know that different food give as different treasure. So I'm sure that mast be something that cool us during hot summer and something that warms us during cold winters. Maybe somebody knows something about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 How do all the animals deal with the cold winter? They don't even have clothing. But they also eat a raw diet and don't heat their foods.<br><br>Yes I know, at first you get cold in the winter time on a raw food diet. But once you get used to it you actually have a much greater resistance to cold weather. <br><br>Please avoid eating citrus fruit in the winter. One of the first times I went 100% raw I was eating tons of oranges in the middle of winter. It got to the point that I could take one bite of a room temperature orange and it would send chills down my spine. Oranges and grapefruit are cooling fruits, so stay away from them in the winter. <br><br>Eat all your food at room temperature not refrigerated. Another way to get warm is to do some exercise. Try doing lots of deep knee bends. A 100% raw foodist friend of mine did 250 deep knee bends in a row when the heat went out in his NYC apartment and that kept him warm. Of course stick within your own fitness level. <br><br>Maybe wear more turtlenecks during colder weather. The great thing is that you can get fruit all year round nowadays. That is why it is possible to do the raw food diet even in colder climates. <br><br>Keep in mind that if you stick with the raw diet a couple of years you will probably have no problem at all with the cold weather. Dr. Gabriel Cousens mentioned in his book " Conscious Eating, " that he polled raw foodists in Alaska and they said that they were now more resistant to cold weather. I've also seen pictures of Steven Arlin author of " Raw Power, " and " Natures First Law, " skiing with no clothes on. I think they had that picture on their website.<br><br>And yes there are raw foodists in Toronto. I met one while I was there at the end of August.<br><br>May the Raw Force be with You, Roger<br><br>Unleash Your Infinite Potential: Discover how to Harness " The Force, " for Self-Improvement.
