Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Chandelle, Welcome!! The best way to start is to just start adding more raw fruits and veggies in your diet. An easy way is to eat fruit for breakfast and again for lunch and serve a huge salad with something cooked (healthy and vegan) for dinner. When you replace fruit meals for cooked meals be sure to eat enough fruit. One apple doesn't cut it. :-) Fruit and veggies have a lot less calories than cooked food so you need to eat more of them. Fruit smoothies are a great idea. Blend up 4 or 5 bananas with a little bit of water or fresh sqeezed orange juice, add some frozen fruits and berries and you have a fast, delicious, easy meal. Natural hygiene is the concept/philosophy/way of life that teaches that our bodies are self healing. All we have to do is offer them the proper conditions and get out of their way and they will keep us healthy and happy. We don't need supplements or treatments when we are living as we are designed to: a raw vegan diet, sunshine, fresh air, healthy relationships, emotional health..etc... Check out www.rawfoodexplained.com for a great introduction to natural hygiene.
