Need some factual information... and a witty comeback

[Guest guest]

Hi Again,

 

My brother likes to gently debate my raw eating and veganism. Can you give me a

good argument for this statement he made today? He said that until the past 100

years or so all people ate was an organic diet ( true enough), and that they

died at early ages usually under 50. Now he says people are living longer than

ever and eating worse than ever. All I could think to say was that yes, people

are living longer but they are sicker than ever. Any other helpful info I can

pass his way? I was unprepared for this debate.

Thanks!!!!

I doubt diet played much of a role in the age a person lived to over 100 years

ago. I figure most people eventually died of disease/injury. But I'm not

really educated in this area, that's just off the top of my head.

In my observance, I have come to the conclusion that it is the inner being (the

invisible that determines the outer being (the visible). A plastic surgeon once

told a woman who just had a complete facial lift that if she didn't change her

way of thinking she would end up looking just as she did. This is so true

because as we think--we become. My grandmother lived to be almost 100, she ate

everything and anything, but she had the best attitude, she was always happy and

grateful for everything. She looked forward to each day and live it. Her first

time to the hospital was at 97 and when they put her in the nursing home, it was

her downfall. My mother is just like her, a very happy and positive person.

She is 91, lives in her own home and still drives. Last fall I was at my

husband's sister's 90th birthday and I spotted an older lady across the room.

She had pure white, spiked hair and wearing bright colored clothes. I worked my

way over to her as she literally " glowed with radiance and energy. Sure enough

her inner being could surpass some of those in that room that were probably in

there 30's. She was 85 and just returned from a 4,000 mile trip up to Alaska

and all around Canada in which she did all the driving. WOW, if only I had

lived closer to her, I would have loved to hang out with someone like that.

Positive people can lift you up and negative people can pull you down. If there

is a secret to health and life, it has to be not just what we are eating, but

what is eating us. Nothing can surpass a healthy, happy, positive, grateful

attitude. We could eat a perfectly 100% raw vegan diet and without the inner

peace, we will still struggle.

RIGHT ON!!! There is more information that says this is true than one could

read/absorb in

a lifetime!

 

I also feel that if we believe the raw foods is the healthiest lifestyle, then

we will be

healthier than our counterparts who eat junk food all the while regretting it

and feeling

badly about what they are eating. Another way raw foods helps I believe is that

there is

evidence that it does contain more nutrients and can help people heal from a

lifetime of

poor behaviors (no matter what they might be) and from disease that they have

obtained

for whatever reason. In theory, the raw food holds a higher vibrational quality

than other

foods and supposedly then brings our bodies into a higher vibrational field

helping in

many ways. Lastly, I just feel so much better eating raw than I do eating other

types of

foods, so that's what I use to judge whether it is " helping " or not. But thanks

for your post,

I think it's so true.
