In this newsletter I'd like to share with you how to look more vibrant and youthful by following my easy 7 day formula.
But first, I'd like to touch on one small issue...
I understand the lure of convenience foods that come in packages. Even raw food has so called "convenience food" now, and much of it comes in boxes! Most of these foods don't require any preparation at all.
I also understand the draw of fast foods especially when you have children and a husband to feed. They want to be fed NOW!
Unfortunately, eating that way could be making you and them sicker.
What if I told you that you could prepare all of your food in an afternoon!
YOU CAN AND YOU WILL!
Try taking an afternoon one day per week (mine is Sunday after I've picked up my food from the farmers markets). Just take a few moments to wash your greens, store your fruit and make a couple of quick convenience foods for yourself and your family that are healthier versions of what is in the super market!
You have several recipes on line to choose from so go for it and use your imagination! Okay, so let's get to my 7 day formula to looking more vibrant and youthful...
Day 1: Wake up and drink a glass of warm water with fresh squeezed lemon in it. This will open up the pathways of elimination and dissolve mucus in the body.
Day 2: Begin your day with a fresh pressed vegetable juice! I'm not asking you to leave out your eggs, I'm trying to teach you to eat light to heavy! Starting your day off with a green juice teaches you to get into this healthy habit!
Day 3: SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT! I'm not even asking you to move your body here folks! Find a local gym or spa that has a sauna and get your sweat on!
Day 4: If you are still eating dairy switch to raw unpasteurized dairy! Let me get one thing straight here. I am a vegan (no dairy of any kind) . HOWEVER Raw unpasteurized dairy has several health benefits according to the Weston A price foundation. So if you do love your milk, cheese, etc and don't want to switch to nut versions such as almond milk, then GO RAW with your dairy!
Day 5: DON'T BE DENSE! If you are on a raw diet or transitioning to a raw diet and find you have a halt in your weight loss goals etc. Then toss the dense nut and seed based dishes. You are better off eating some steamed veggies with marinara or having a big salad with a piece of low mercury baked fish than you are eating a raw nut loaf!
Day 6: YOUR 80%WATER....SO DRINK SOME!
Day 7: SLEEP! You have heard this a million times! No sleep no progress...8 hours minimum! If something or someone is preventing this .....say goodbye!
BONUS DAY! GET YOUR GREENS ON! Salad 101 - Learn the basics in my sample recipe below and mix it up nightly! A high raw high green salad is the basis of a healthy living food lifestyle! It acts as your bullet proof vest before your "naughty food choices" so eat away at those high green salads!
