Each and every day we are constantly scrutinized and bombarded with media about our eating habits and what we should or should not be eating. While we know the right’s and wrong’s of what we should or should not be eating and that it’s unhealthy but it’s so good that we find it hard or we’re unable to stop. You physical health then takes and turn for the worst because we cannot or will not change our exercise or dieting habits.
Just like physical fitness, our own emotions play an integral part of our nutrition and well being. We’ve probably all had the experience of receiving some bad news or been on an emotional roller coaster and suddenly losing your appetite. This clearly shows that our emotions are an vital part of how your body addresses and processes food. It’s a very important part of your health.
Even if you’re a veteran raw-foodist, hopefully you will find some key thoughts in this article that will help you refine your diet and improve your overall health program. Here are some things to consider
1. The evil food cravings
Craving foods that are processed and cooked is a normal experience as you move towards a raw food diet. The cravings, while perfectly normal, seem to never go away
The cravings we feel are deeply rooted in our emotional and nutritional needs and reactions.
The nutritional aspects are fairly simple to pinpoint: if you don’t get in the habit of eating enough calories from your vegetables and fruits, you *will* continue to crave the evil cooked and processed foods.
Consuming too much fat from the calories in the fruit is the hard part while still getting enough minerals from your greens.
A low fat diet is always the best way to steer you away from the cravings. While we unknowingly like fat it also increases our cravings. A nutritional and healthy path is always the best defense against the feared “cravings”.
But keep in mind though, that the average active woman should consume between 1800 to 2500 calories each day, and the average active man should consume between 2500 to 3000. A visit to www.fitday.com will be able to show you if you’re consuming enough vegetables and fruits to maintain you daily calorie intake.
2. Physical Fitness should always included daily
Are you aware that you cannot be healthy without being physically fit? In the past few years we have suffered losses of athletes young and old by way of a heart attack. This stems from being physically fit but unhealthy.
You may think that you are healthy just because you are watching what you eat. You must also include a regimented fat intake and exercise routine in order to truly be healthy.
As you get more physically fit your body changes. Your food is more efficiently absorbed into the body as the fat burning furnace continues to grow. The bodies whole nutrition process goes through a metamorphosis with a better fitness plan.
As always, improve on your areas of weakness first as these will be the hardest to overcome and bring greater joy early on when you achieve your goal but most of our weakness resides in the fitness portion of our lives.
3. Make sure and Eat Fruit Before Each Meal for the best affect.
One of the easiest and fastest ways that I know of to make the move to a raw food diet is by eating fruit before each and every meal, including lunch and dinner. The idea is to eat some fruit when you are the most hungry before anything else at the beginning of the meal. Eating as much fruit in the beginning as you’re comfortable with then, and you will find that you will eat much less of the meal itself!
This is what is called the transition strategy. Just get started by getting the raw food in by eating fruit at the beginning of each meal. Do you remember your mom telling you not to do that when you were a kid? But as we’ve all grownup and found out that the Standard American Diet didn’t work, we need to get back to our natural instincts to satisfy our natural sweet tooth craving by eating as much fruit as we need at the beginning of every meal.
4. Whole grain produce is good to eat
Your focus should be to pursue eating 100% whole grains because our bodies convert the sugar in these rich carbohydrate sources at a slow rate which keeps our bodies energized longer than simple sugars. The fiber contained in these grains will help you to quickly flush and eliminate toxic waste that forms in the body and the grains themselves are loaded with antioxidants much needed by our bodies. This is the type of diet that our ancient ancestors consumed who felt and stayed looking young and working hard long into their senior years. Health food experts around the globe have stated for years the benefits of a diet that is high in whole grains and the ever growing evidence has become overwhelming. Whole grains are the best way to get complex carbohydrates during your daily routine.
Having a raw food diet can only have positive benefits. Just don’t take 2 to 20 years to realize something that should only take you 2 months to get going into a regular routine. Your body will thank you for it.
