I am preparing for an open house at a pilates studio this Saturday where I will be discussing healthy eating, with a focus on the raw food diet and green smoothies. So, instead of writing new stuff for the blog today, I am including part of the notes from my hand-outs...
Enjoy! Stay tuned for some more notes in upcoming postings.
What is a raw/living food?
Ø Raw/living foods are any fruits, greens, vegetables, nuts, or seeds that have not been heated/cooked at temps exceeding 117 degrees—the enzymes are still alive, available, and ready for work!
Ø Basically, a fresh food right “off the vine” is the most divine!
What is a raw/living food diet?
Ø Eating a wide selection of raw/living foods in their natural state such as fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and/or seeds.
Ø Some say if you eat 75% or more of your food in the raw/living form, you are eating a raw food diet.
Ø Of course others strive for 100% raw food consumption.
Ø You make it what you want. Go for fancy or stick to simple. I prefer simple with a little fancy thrown in.

I enjoyed your live presentation very much. Thank your for standing up for what is right!!! I will certainly make some additions, such as green smoothies, to our diet.
