Raw Diet, Good For Elemental Restructuring
Living Well: Raw Diet
You hear it all the time from doctors, eat right, drink right, exercise, find time to relax, and condition your day around the idea of good health. The problem is that in this world we are not all Taoist monks with all of the time in the world to worry about internal alchemy and the rigorous practices that some of those people engage in. More importantly, we just don’t know how much of it actually WORKS. I’ll be the first one to tell you that some of the stuff especially the more esoteric things are done because of religious significance that have little or nothing to do with the whole of the system. However, the principles of cultivating personal energy and providing proper fuel for rejuvenating it are sound.
A lot of rawists that’s people who eat a diet of mostly or totally raw food tell you that it is the “only way to go” but for me personally I take my cues from the monkeys. They eat mostly fruits, followed by vegetables, roots, and roughage, then legumes, then insects, and finally whatever meat they can catch. You don’t have to eat meat at every meal it should in fact be the least of your intake but take it slowly. I’ve found that 70% raw food has worked for me for a long time Also don’t feel married to the idea of your new eating regimen if you friend is having a barbecue and you want to drink or eat a hamburger goi for it, at its core you should embrace life, not herbal tea.
If you are really into the idea of switching to a mostly raw diet there are a lot of resources on the internet that are very good for a start. Please research very thoroughly and consult a physician before trying any new diet.
