Anyone know of healthy looking rawfoodist who have done it over 20 yrs?

[Guest guest]

I ask this because I have'nt seen many look very healthy. I've been

reading up on it for a few years, and want to do it, but the lack of

healthy looking raw foodist discourages me. Ann

wigmore ,argueably,the founder looked like most people her age when

she died to me. I know this will upset some raw foodist, but I'm sure

I'm not the only to notice.If anyone knows of any raw foodist been

doing it more than 20 years actually look younger, plz let me know.

P.S. only one I've noticed looks younger is Karyn Calabrese thus far.

Thank you.

Well, I don't know when the picture in the back cover of the Cousen's

book (Rainbow diet) was taken, but he is now 60, and if that

photograp is recent, you can see he seems to be a lot less years

there... Look it at

Hi Raven,

I find what you said inviting. I too have thought those thoughts and I

also know that in life what we are presented is what healthy is suppose to look

like. As a yogi, I know that sometime I have to allow my perception to shift

because what I thought was right is not. As a dancer in college I was very thin

and ate a very clean veg. diet with no dinner or starch and most people always

said your too thin. I look at those pictures and I was very pretty and very

healthy and very thin. Now 13 years later eating cooked off and on and enjoying

sugar at times, coffee ect. I have the typical healthy body but I am not as

healthy. So what I can say about what looks healthy maybe it's not. Our

perception is almost given to us by society. If we are willing to stop and feel

whats is right for us, we know the truth. What is your truth? Sincerly sat nam

All the rawfoodists I know look better on a raw food diet. At first

people may not look good because they are removing toxins. But after the

detox they look a lot better.

 

I don't think basing the decisions on perceived looks is a good way to

do it. You should try the diet and see how you feel. That is the best

test. It's not about living to 120 but feeling great every moment of

your day. That is what I get.

 

I am a new person ever since eating raw foods. Man was eating raw before

he was eating cooked. You're making it sound like cooked food is the

tested and well established method when in actuality it is the

experiment and raw food is what every healthy animal eats and human used

to eat.

 

I know a guy 50 who looks 30. I know a guy 40 who looks 20. You can see

my picture at www.superbeingdiet.com and see how I look. I'm 36 now and

some people actually think I'm in college. (I don't think I look that

young. Maybe like I'm in my mid twenties. But compared to people I was

friends with in high school and college, I look great.)

 

Hope that helps, Roger Haeske

I don't know anyone personally who has done it for that long. I know

some 15 year vererans. One is older anyway and I don't know what he

would have looked like had he never gone to raw foods. In general,

raw foodists, to me, appear more radiant and have healthier skin.

They also tend to not get sick and have gotten off medications, etc.

I simply enjoy being healthier and not getting sick. I don't know how

it will affect my appearence in 15 years. If I can feel great and

avoid the hospitol in that time, then great! I do know that many raw

foodists also spend a lot of time in the sun, which is a natural part

of health. The raw body seems to be able to process the sun through

the skin far more efficiently than those on a SAD diet. The sun may

also have an effect on appearance. Personally, I'd rather be

healthier the rest of my life than to worry about how I may look. I

have noticed that people moving to raw foods tend to look much

younger after the transition. That actually gives them a head start

at a youthful look!

i haven`t met lot of people who are in raw food more

thant 20 years, but i know few people and they look 10

years younger of thier present age or even less.but

thier inner disposition is very clam also.in spiritual

field there are people who look very young and glowing

because of their inner calmness which reflects in

thier physical body.

I was thinking about this last night. There are a few folks online

who look good eating this diet long term (I don't know any in person,

but that proves nothing) and there are quite a few great before and

after pictures of short timers to add to the long term folks.

 

But what does this prove either way? There are plenty of folks who

eat various kinds of (reasonable) diets, including those who eat some

meat, who look GREAT. I had an aunt who looked the picture of health

and much younger than her age who ate terribly and had type II

diabetes and died from breast cancer. She didn't even look that bad

on her death bed. She was blessed with good genes and this cannot be

discounted, I think, when looking at folks, no matter how they eat.

 

The before and after shots are great, but I sold that eating raw for

a time--bombarding the system with nutrition and giving it a chance

to detox--is the best way to heal from illness (and most eating a SAD

are in some stage of illness). But that doesn't mean we ~should~ eat

this way all the time. I mean, to me, 20 bananas a day sounds as

intemperate as a candy bar every day.

 

Anyway, just wanted to note that how folks LOOK isn't necessarily

indicative of what we should be doing, though it ~might~ (and only

might) be indicative of what we shouldn't be doing.

Also, keep in mind that Karyn is a former model so she would probably

look beautiful regardless of the diet she followed. Genetics really

does make a difference if one only judges by outward appearance.

However, it would be nice to see more before and after photos of long

term raw foodists.
