Is Raw Food a Healthy Lifestyle?

Lifestyle

With the Raw Food and conscious choice healthy lifestyle I follow, I sometimes have times of intense joy and feel ‘supercharged’, other days a big black cloud. When people are looking for a solution to emotional pain, unconscious eating is an outlet that has dire consequence. Just as the thinking that moving to a warm climate could be a piece of the puzzle of happiness,I can tell you, I live in the sub tropics and the rainy cold days are still there.

The ability to understand what makes our body operate to its peak efficiency, and how one will be influenced by the terrain and the circumstances of life, will be one of the most influential aspect of our lives

I deal with depression in my life, with the Emotional relationship of diet and foods WHY DO I CRAVE POTATOES AND WHITE BREAD. I have sat with the feeling of the need and cannot identify it.

The landmark article written about carbs and depression in Scientific American in 1989. the writers were convinced that the carbohydrate craving is related to decreases in the feel-good hormone serotonin, which is marked by a decline in mood and concentration. It was found that carb cravers can eat 800 or more calories a day than other people. While many carb cravers do become overweight or obese, others control their weight by exercising more, eating less at meals, or turning to low-fat carbs such as popcorn.

Eating carbohydrates seems to help carb cravers feel better in about 20 minutes, according to Wurtman’s research. When you eat carbs, your body makes more serotonin, the feel-good hormone that is boosted when you are on an antidepressant. Eating the carbs, is an attempt to undo the depressed mood.

As a raw food advocate, what is my course of action, what food do I turn to, to find satiation as it has got to be more than an emotional tie to the craving. I have found that as I have moderated the fat content in my diet I eat a lot of sweet fruit and have been successful in finding a balance that works for me. There is a lot of scare tactics about fruit and the sugars that go along with them, this is something that I have personally found to be so far from the truth. By eating and obtaining a large component of your calorie intake, with quality good sweet fruits you will get your carbohydrate needs met. Couple it with a healthy energetic exercise routine, and you will be well on your way to a healthy Raw food lifestyle

When we decide to make a change,it can be like an open top sports car ride in the middle of an English winter, daring to do something different, feeling the wind in your hair, smelling the fresh air. Reality sets in pretty quick as the nose turns to an ice cube and the teeth start sounding like Spanish castanets clacking together.

When ever you venture into a deviation from the journey you have been on, our map is only based on what has gone before, so what ever comes up, gets judged and graded by what ever past experience we are relating to.

This where the holistic intent of raw foods comes into it, understanding the need for change and having your consciousness being raised, to start asking questions and examining fore-held beliefs.

Just as people who find the struggle is to abstain from alcohol, needing a kind word and a supporting hand, will be a life preserver to many. In the transition from a cooked food, non conscious diet, there has to be a letting go of old thoughts and you need a helping hand. It is not about a fail or pass, but a continuing journey towards a healthy Raw Food lifestyle helped by other travelers of that road. At the end of the day the person who will be able to fulfill the journey, will have to make choices that are beyond external influences, gathering strength from a desire within. Is it the diet that will help all eating disorders and depression? I do not know, I would say without hesitation it is a boon to eat of clean fare and pleasant water but not all get the opportunity

So the intent of understanding a simple raw food life style may be the concept that starts a journey, and a spiritual shift secures the continuation of conscious evolving.

Change, which is on of the only things that remains consistent in life,finding your own values is what will be your supporting purpose in life. To hold a belief that the result of a certain action had to be X so I could feel Y, I would be setting myself up for great disappointment,life is not about “or’s”, it is more about “ands”.

The pity party we all get on to at times when we have our story to uphold, is this a chemical induced state from a dietary deficiency, an imbalance in the sugars of brain function, brought on by foods that do not serve us, or is it the thoughts we have, that distort the pathways and neural synapses of the thinking chemistry.
