Learn how to transition to a healthy diet now (Part 1).

In this article, I’m going to go back to some basics. I will be giving you specific, concrete action steps you can take right now to transition to a healthy, hopefully raw or mostly raw diet. Even if you’re a seasoned raw-foodist, I’m sure you will find some key insights in this article that will help you refine your diet and improve your program. These steps are in no particular order.

STEP #1 - *Workout and Exercise*

It’s not possible to be healthy without being fit. We know that, at least intuitively, even if we tend to forget the importance of fitness in a healthy lifestyle, by focusing too much on the importance of diet.

But more importantly, your physical condition has a major impact on your digestion, assimilation, and overall “nutrition.” For example, your ability to uptake sugar, called “insulin sensitivity,” is greatly influenced by your level of fitness.

If you are sedentary, insulin sensitivity is greatly reduced. Therefore, sugar is not carried as rapidly as it should to the cells. This can lead to or worsen blood sugar problems of all kinds.

If you’ve read my book “The Raw Secrets. ” You are aware of the importance of hunger in health. One problem is that most people do not eat when they are truly hungry, and mistake “appetite” for hunger. Once they learn how to make the distinction, they soon realize that they are rarely if ever truly hungry!

By exercising on a daily basis and eventually engaging in cardio-respiratory activities (jogging, cardio machines at the gym, cycling, etc.) every day, you will awaken that forgotten sense of hunger.

So exercise is very important, and the lack of a fitness program may be one of the reasons why you have difficulty eating a healthy diet.

STEP #2 - *Eat Fruit Before Each Meal*

One of the easiest ways to transition to a raw-food diet is to start eating fruit before every meal, including lunch and dinner. The idea is to eat fruit when you are the most hungry, which is at the beginning of the meal. Eat as much fruit as you desire then, and you will find that you will eat much less of the meal itself!

This is what I call an “automatic transition strategy.” Just start getting the raw-food in by eating fruit before each meal - just what your mom told you not to do when you were a kid. But now that you’re a grownup and that the Standard American Diet didn’t work for you, you need to go back to your natural instincts and satisfy your natural sweet tooth by eating as much fruit as you want before every single meal.

STEP #3 - *Learn to Make 7 Raw Food Recipes That You Enjoy*

It’s been found that most people know about 7 to 10 good recipes very well, and just rotate them throughout the months, adding in other stuff occasionally for variety.

Or look at when you buy a recipe book. You might try many recipes but eventually you’ll only retain a few that you’ll continue making for the years to come.

So what I want you to know now is to find 7 simple raw-food recipes that you really like, that are easy to make and that are properly combined. (INSIDER TIP: My recipe book “Instant Raw Sensations” is just about that: )

Ideally, I’d like you to know:

About 2 dressings

About 2 great salads

2-3 smoothies you really enjoy

1-2 more gourmet recipes

Those 7 or 10 recipes should be things you can make often, with ingredients that are easy to find, and some of them should have an instant appeal to your friends and family.

You’ll find that once you know what those recipes are, and you can make them without opening a book, that you’ll be wondering a lot less often “What should I be eating now?”

STEP #4 - *Get Rid of Cheese and Dairy*

Improving your diet isn’t about the things you ADD IN. It’s mostly about the things we LEAVE OUT. I know this reality is hard to take, but even if you eat all these fruits and vegetables, drink those fresh juices and make those huge smoothies, you won’t really feel great until you remove those offensive foods from your diet that are hurting you.

There’s one thing you need to say goodbye to forever, and it’s milk and cheese. In a previous article, I talked about the top-5 worst foods, and cheese was one of them.

Really, I see it all the time. People have this thing for cheese. They still eat it occasionally, and they still are addicted to it. (Actually, cheese contains some compounds in it that make it addictive for real, not just in your imagination).

If there would be just one category of food you could remove from your diet and feel much better for it, it’s got to be cheese and milk.

STEP #5 - *Eat Fruit in the Morning or Skip the Morning Meal*

The morning meal is the easiest to switch to raw. Most people find that once they start listening to their body, they are actually not truly hungry in the morning.

I’ve watched how many children generally don’t eat in the morning if they are left to themselves and not being force-fed.

My suggestion is that you can skip the morning meal altogether or replace it with a smoothie or some fruit. I know that this goes against all the advice you’ve heard about “never skipping meals” or that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” What I’m telling you know is that this advice isn’t based on any solid facts.

The “breakfast” is when you break the “fast” of the night, and this doesn’t have to be at noon. In fact, the French word for breakfast means “lunch”, because for thousands of years the French didn’t eat in the morning. When they started doing so, they had to come up with a new word for that meal so they called it “small breakfast” (petit dejeuner).

Skipping the morning meal or eating some fruit will help you get in touch with your true sense of hunger, which will make it easier to eat raw. Plus, it will be good for a while to help you detox and lose some weight (if that’s an issue for you).

As you start exercising more, you will eventually get hungry in the morning, believe me!

Healthy and Natural Weight Loss

Physicians and dieticians will confirm that losing weight is not an easy process. If it is done right, in a healthy and sustainable way, it may require eating habit changes, and it will most likely, not happen overnight. Like gaining weight, which manifests itself often gradually, a healthy weight loss should happen equally slow. Crash diets are quick fixes and usually do not keep the weight off for long. These diets are good if you need to lose a few pounds fast to get into a wedding dress, or a revealing beach outfit, but are not the preferred weight loss tactic if you want to achieve a healthy, sensible weight managing lifestyle. A natural diet is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. That means, opting for proper nutrition and a sensible food intake, which includes three small main meals a day and two snacks in between. Every diet expert will agree that having just one or two large meals a day is unhealthy. Our body needs a steady flow of fuel and energy, just like your car does, or your alarm clock. Confused? Picture, the electricity goes off! Your alarm clock may still run because of its backup battery, but eventually that cell will run out and your clock will stop working. Our bodies function pretty much on the same principle and once you go hungry it may tap into your reserves. There is one major difference. If you get hungry too often, your body will start to stock more reserves. In other words, it will start hording extra fat for those emergency situations, and in that case, you will start gaining weight. Controlling hunger, while managing calories, is of the upmost importance. By taking advantage of a natural weight loss diet, and eating 4 to 5 smaller meals a day, your body will burn plenty of calories, your metabolism will run faster, your energy level will be up, and you will not even feel as if you are on a diet. No matter what the reason for your weight control program is, successful weight loss and healthy weight management will depend on rational goals and expectations. Set your goals sensibly and the chances that you will be able to meet them will increase dramatically. In fact, losing even five to ten percent of your current weight, if you are overweight, is the kind of goal that can indeed help you improve your health considerably. When you are eating fewer calories than usual, it is vital to eat a good balance of nutrients. If you do not, you may get run-down or sick. Increase your vegetables, fruits, and whole grains consumption during a healthy weight loss program. They will give you lots of vitamins and minerals. Try to eat your vegetables raw to get the full effects of the vitamins they contain. During cooking, carrots, green beans, broccoli and other of your favourite vegetables will lose part of their nutritional value. Avoid frying your food, but instead use a steamer, or prepare your ingredients on a grill. The most important natural product which you need during a natural weight loss program is water. Water will flush out toxins and will increase the toning of your muscles during exercise. As you can guess, physical activity and exercising should also be part of your natural weight loss program. Finding a weight loss partner would be ideal. You could encourage and motivate each other and swap recipes. Many diet gurus, nutritionists, physicians and health experts have created meals so appetizing you will never think about your old eating habits again.

Acne Causing Foods

You really can eliminate acne, biologically. How? By learning about the origins of acne and how to equilibrate the body. By understanding that applying harsh chemicals to the skin may actually exacerbate the skin’s innate oil production and make acne worse. Why it is that people who don’t consume a Western diet don’t suffer acne? You, too, can eliminate acne by understanding why it’s predominantly a Western condition. In parts of the world where a Western diet is being adopted, they are now suffering acne.

Our bodies are fine-tuned systems, continually creating new cells and eliminating dead cells. There are three processes vital to human health; appropriation (taking in food, air, water etc), assimilation (using nutrients to create new cells) and elimination (expelling waste/toxins). If any one of these is unbalanced, this can lead to less than vital health. We need to obtain in the right fuel, use it efficiently and eliminate by-products and waste. For example, we eliminate waste via the digestive tube, the lungs and the skin; if the digestive system is slow waste may have to be expelled via the skin as clogged pores and acne.

The truth about acne elimination

To really eliminate acne, you require to equip yourself with information about hormones, food, skin care solutions, dehydration, yeast and antimicrobials.

And if you pay attention to your body you will discover the long-term path to clearer skin.

Whether you consume a natural diet of living fruits and vegetables or consume dead junk food, what you eat may have a direct or indirect influence on the male hormones which may or may not play some role in acne. When your liver gets overloaded with toxins it’ll canalize the toxins out through your skin as well as other organs of elimination. Including a lot of fresh, raw fruit to the diet has aided many persons clear their skin up; there are lots of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in fruits.

Some alternative specialists recommend consuming a raw clove of garlic daily for acne; you can chop one up and add it to your daily salad! To heal yourself of acne, you need to fix the problems going on inside of your organism that are causing the acne.

Good clear skin is usually a reflection of a good digestive system. Concentrating on a diet, of mainly fruits and vegetables (preferably uncooked), and no junk food, should grant you an observable improvement in your skin within 30 days. When the skin is dehydrated, devitalized skin cells remain on the skin which may block pores and produce acne; take plenty of water.

The Rise, Fall and Rise of the School of Naturopathy

Naturopathy, which is also referred to as natural medicine or naturopathic medicine, is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on using the body’s natural abilities to heal itself in order to fend off illness and maintain its health. By following a holistic approach to body care, naturopathy involves taking certain natural steps to increase the body’s natural defenses while also supporting the use of conventional medicine methods to fend off illness.The History of NaturopathyThe history of Naturopathy is long and interesting. Although many people have never heard of this form of alternative medicine, it has actually been in use since the 1880s. It was during this time that Dr. Thomas Allinson began advocating the medical practice in Scotland. Allinson promoted following a natural diet and performing regular exercise in order to improve the body’s health and to help cure illness and disease. The concept of naturopathy didn’t reach the United States until the late 1890s. At this time, the term was used by Benedict Lust, who was also schooled in other forms of natural medicine such as hydrotherapy. Lust went on to found the American School of Naturopathy in 1905, which was opened in New York. The American School of Naturopathy was the first college of its kind to be opened in the United States, but the practice of naturopathy began losing followers in the 1930s when synthetic drugs and penicillin started to be used more regularly. The rise of other forms of alternative medicine, including herbalism and homeopathy, also contributed to the downfall of naturopathy. Despite its setbacks, naturopathy continued to be practice by some alternative medicine practitioners. By 1956, a new school of naturopathy was opened in Portland, Oregon. The National College of Naturopathic Medicine, which integrated scientific methodologies along with naturopathic practices, was the first modern medical school to offer studies in naturopathy.The Principles of NaturopathyIn order to encourage the body to heal naturally, naturopathy follows seven basic principles. These include:• Do no harm to the body by providing the most effective health care possible while putting the patient at the least amount of risk• Respect and promote the body’s self-healing power• Remove all causes of illness rather than simply suppressing the symptoms• Inspire hope and encourage the patient to take responsibility for his or her health• Consider individual health influences and factors when treating a patient• Promote well being in individuals and throughout the worldAlthough modern medical practices are put to use with naturopathy, following these steps follows the least invasive method possible.A look at the history of naturopathy, including the rise and fall of the School of Naturopathy and the subsequent revival of this natural method for healing the body.

Natural treatments for acne revolve around following a natural diet and applying natural remedies to your skin.

Natural treatments for acne have been around for many years. You would find most of the natural acne treatment hoarded in your home, in the kitchen cupboards and in your backyard.

Products like honey, green tea, Echinacea, Avocado, sunflower oil and even jojoba are very effective against acne. If you wish, you could easily try out natural acne remedies, as they are simply cheap and easily available.

Now, what could be there in your natural treatment? A natural treatment would involve a modified diet to relieve symptoms through thorough cleansing of your internal organs, and the use of herbs to supply nutrients to your liver and other organs.

Plan a diet based on natural and wholesome food, including at least five servings of vegetables and no less than one serving of fruit per day. Stay away from fried foods and trans fats such as milk, milk products, margarine and other hydrogenated vegetable oils. Avoid consumption of refined sugar.

Increase healthy omega-3 oils such as ground flaxseeds and sardines in your diet. In some people iodized salt, shellfish, chocolate, caffeine, carbonated beverages and even wheat or milk products exacerbate acne.

Natural Acne Treatments

Raw spices can help get rid of acne and blemishes; one such spice, turmeric is very beneficial as it cures acne (by drying it out) and removes the marks. Prepare a creamy paste of turmeric with coconut oil (or sesame oil) to apply on acne. You can either dab it just like that on the acne or warm it in a teaspoon and then use.

Cover up the surrounding areas and the acne completely with this paste. The best time to use this paste is at least 20 minutes before sleeping. (See that it dries and does not come in contact with the pillow).

Even women having acne due to changes in levels of hormones will respond to turmeric treatm

ent greatly. Acne disappears completely within 2-3 days, without even leaving the slightest spots on the skin.

The greatest benefit of turmeric treatment is that it not only dries off acne, it prevents formation of marks and blemishes and does not even make the skin flaky or dry. So, instead of using chemical-based facial scrubs for exfoliation, a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of coconut oil will help remove all dead cells, control bacteria and smoothen your skin.

Severe acne in any form needs medical attention. If acne is in mild form and at the initial stage, acne can be treated successfully by natural herbs and by following Natures way in our daily routine.

Following below is a list of natural healing ingredients that are most beneficial in the battle against blemishes and for the proper healing of your acne.

Natural Oil Absorbing …. You might be well aware of the fact that secretion of excess oil is a vital contributor to conditions of acne on your skin. There are many natural herbs like Konjac Root (also known as a dietary fiber) and things like Charcoal (derived from burned wood and containing mainly carbon) that have oil-absorbing features.

Natural Antibacterial …. Many of your natural skincare product lines will reveal that they contain ingredients such as Neem, Cinnamon, Tea Tree oil, and Echinacea. These are known to have natural anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, which reduce infection of acne.

Natural Antioxidants … There are a number of selected herbs and plant extracts that aid fast recuperation of damaged cells and tissues and happen to be good acne cure. Olive Leaf Extract, Burdock root, Irish Moss, Green Tea, Kelp, Walnut Seed extract, as well as Linden Flower, Sage, Balm Mint, Chamomile, Grape Seed, Witch Hazel and Pine Bark are only to name a few of these.

If you really want to get rid of your arthritis pain forever it may take a radical change in your diet and an ongoing commitment.

I got rid of my arthritis and arthritis pain forever by eating a natural living food diet. I found relief from my arthritis pain, naturally, and you can do it too.

Arthritis concentrates in one or several joints where deterioration occurs. To get the arthritis pain relief you%26#8217;re seeking it%26#8217;s helpful to understand how arthritis works. The first step when looking for solutions to an arthritis pain problem is to understand how arthritis works.

The combination of the collagen meshwork and high water content tightly bound by proteoglycans creates a resilient, slippery pad in the joint, which resists the compression between bones during muscle movement. Collagen is the main protein found in all connective tissues in the body, including the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The ability to make repairs to cartilage becomes limited as cartilage cells age.

Most experts now believe that osteoarthritis results from a genetic susceptibility that causes a biologic response to injuries to the joint, which leads to progressive deterioration of cartilage. Genetic factors are thought to be involved in about 50% of osteoarthritis cases in the hands and hips and a somewhat lower percentage of cases in the knee. An inflammatory response causes cytokines, to gather in injured areas and cause inflammation and damage to body tissue and cells; it%26#8217;s known to play a role in rheumatoid arthritis and other muscle and joint problems associated with autoimmune diseases.

Try massaging your fingers or other affected joints with coconut oil twice a day. Some foods and beverages to avoid that are inflammatory are: caffeine, salt, sugar, meat, dairy products, additives, soft drinks, white flour, white rice, alcoholic beverages, fast food, processed vegetable oils, refined, packaged and processed food. Studies done on antioxidant vitamins question the value of these supplements; it%26#8217;s clearly better to consume these antioxidants in living foods because they may also need to work with other nutrients present in the foods to work properly.

If you really want to get rid of your arthritis pain forever it may take a radical change in your diet and an ongoing commitment. Make smoothies with fruit only using a base of two bananas, adding a cup of frozen or fresh blueberries and mango chunks or substitute any other fruit and add an energy boost of two tablespoons of coconut oil; add one or two leaves of kale for another highly nutrition

al boost — no one will ever know. Making a ginger tea, by adding a thin slice or two of fresh gingerroot to hot water, is helpful to many people I know.

Try avoiding the eight most allergic foods, wheat being the most allergenic; they are wheat, corn, eggs, milk, peanuts, fish, shellfish and some nuts, not all. One natural treatment method involves avoiding all inflammatory foods, that is, foods that are not alive.

I know quite a few people who are drinking tart cherry juice to relieve their arthritis pain; but is has to be the tart kind though. Some of the supplements commonly used for relieving arthritis pain, but I don%26#8217;t know if any of these work, are: glucosamine, chondroitin, bromelain, grapeseed extract, omega-3 and omega-6, cod liver oil, manganese ascorbate, MSM, boron, niacinamide, pantothenic acid, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E.

To be on the safe side always seek your doctor%26#8217;s advice before starting or changing your exercise program. A good exercise routine is the key to beating arthritis and relieving arthritis pain. If you have pain and swelling in your fingers, try squeezing Thera-putty made for this purpose or exercising with two Chinese chime balls called Taiji balls. Even the lightest exercise can go a long way to maintaining your joint mobility and overall health.

Your body has 147 different joints that are in motion every day of your life. Exercise your affected joints every day, to keep them flexible. Stretching and warming up the joints should always be the first step in your exercise routine to make your joints more flexible, just be careful you don%26#8217;t do further damage-proceed slowly..

Be aware that the use of NSAIDs or Cox-2 inhibitors do not halt the progress of osteoarthritis and may even hasten the onset.

Once you become more informed about arthritis you%26#8217;ll be able to plan an arthritis treatment program, natural or conventional or a combination of both. For conventional treatment of arthritis - if you do choose to take drugs or medications, be very careful and read the labels thoroughly.

Following these suggestions can help you get back in the swing of things fast and allow you to spend your days enjoying life once more. Arthritis pain relief is the ultimate goal - understanding arthritis is a good way to get there. Begin your treatment program with a diet change, exercise and weight loss plan to see incredible results and fast pain relief.
