Vegan Diet Guide

I would like to start out by stating that the contents of this article merely my opinion based on information I have read from expert authors and from more than a decade of eating and living the way I have on a daily basis. That and my blood work done twice each year which reveals zero deficiencies, I feel this information is very valuable and of course valid. Perhaps it just works for me, my genetics and body type, I can’t say for sure. However, just like smoking cigarettes could probably have an affect on each of us with varying degrees of health negatives, green smoothies, I believe, will have an affect on each one of us with varying degrees of health positives. Try it for yourself, after talking about it with a naturopath or other doctor initially of course.

The body is equipped to heal itself correct? Then why is it that so many people are sick? Maybe that is incorrect and the human body really isn’t equipped for natural healing? No! The predicament is that we a) do not give the body with the suitable amount of tools, usually by way of diet, it requires to become whole again and b) we attack our body with stuff that hinders the operation of the limited number of essential resources that we actually do supply it.

I’m a huge admirer of the raw food lifestyle. To say that adding heat to food beyond a certain temperature destroying much needed enzymes that are significant to assimilation makes sense to me. Beyond that, it is suggested that to get the most from our food we should masticate it until it disappears. Our body has troubles handling big chunks of food. Also, I really feel that men women and children can survive with a a diet of chiefly fruits and dark green leafy vegetables, with of course some healthy fats. Healthy fats in the form of avocados, soaked nuts and seeds is all I eat.

The main foods I have each an every day are composed of lots of raw fruits and greens in the form of green smoothies. Being in a liquid form, my body has no issues assimilating the nutrients.

A giant hurdle for a lot of people when switching diets, and a big one for me is fighting cravings for bad foods. Like a person addicted to drugs or alcohol must go through a detox to heal, we essentially must to do a similar thing. The cells in our body consist of stuff from foods that we have eaten in the past. The body usually craves more of the same unhealthy foods that contribute to the contents of each of the sick cells in our body. With a drug detox, often times, dry sauna therapy is used to sweat the drugs out of the system. This could help eliminate the physical cravings which will allow the person an improved chance at sobriety. For us, adjusting our eating habits may possibly induce the clearing of toxic foods as well which can be conveniently removed in stool, perspiration and perhaps urine. But, we may still having cravings for those foods while some of the contaminants in our cells are still present.

I have found that quickly after having the first drink of my smoothie my cravings for grease, meat, salt, etc began to subside. After I was done drinking the smoothie, the cravings vanished completely and I would be content. The problem then was that the unhealthy cravings would come back as I grew hungry. So I started to make sure I was on top of it and would have another smoothie available before the cravings would come back, or shortly after they reared their ugly heads. The cravings at last subsided for good as I became cleaner. Then I started to crave greens instead!

Now, I would like to ask, do you want to stay sick and overweight or do you want to have a look at a better diet providing your body everything that it needs?
