Why Raw is So Simple.

Really living this way is very simple you have may different aspects to this lifestyle that you can do.  Like dehydrating foods, juicing, smoothies, food processors, etc. or simply just eating fruits and veggies in there raw form.  I for one love the ladder there is nothing that I enjoy more then sitting down and feasting on some fresh watermelon,mangoes, apples and oranges.  Of course making a fruit salad is a choice for doing this or just making wedges of the fruit and throwing it all on a plate.  One of my favorites though is Fresh tomatoes sliced with some sea salt/crushed black pepper and maybe a few leaves of spinach or fresh basil.  That is what is so awesome living raw even the simple stuff tastes so awesome.   Really with this lifestyle NO Slaving away in the kitchen for hours or making the house into a huge mess as well as a hot box in the summertime.  So if your looking at different ways to save time and feed your family healthy food consider this lifestyle it works.

MMMMMMMMM Rawwwww!!!!!!!!!!
Peace. 

Worship & Praise Our Lord and Savior Who Knows When Our Time Ends, He is The Final Judge.


At the moment I love many things, I love my wife, family,and of course my animals, my job but above all else I love our savior Jesus Christ and God our Heavenly Father.  I have had the good fortune to be blessed many times in my life from being saved from a disastrous motorcycle accident when I was 15yrs old lacerated spleen, internal bleeding, hospital for a week and home bound for another three weeks.  That is one of the worst ones but one that I remember and I'm truly thankful I survived I felt like I had a angel watching over me that day out in the midle of nowhere bike crapped out took forever to restart and then it did raced to my family then off to the hospital.

Then of course the huge blessings later in my life finding the love of my life, moving and getting hired into a very rewarding career path.  My in-laws and inherited family and how awesome they are.  Then finding out about this lifestyle choice and rocking it Raw style.

I'm writing this blog because as most of you know I'm Christian and very spiritual and need to express my praise and love to the one that gives me knowledge, wisdom, and the strength to live each day in this crazy stressful society we live in.  So on this day I Will this blog to God and Jesus Christ that they would recieve some praise and love from these words and that they would hear that I'm so very thankful for the blessings and answered prayers that I have received throughout my life.  That I also would pray for all of the people in this world that are having hard times, living in shelters/poverty, all of our troops overseas and also send out heartfelt condolence's to the families who have lossed a loved one in the wars, in the Japan Tragedy and any other act of war or natural disaster. That more people would look towards the sky and into their hearts and cry out to God for some guidance in their lives rather then celebrities acting like complete morons. 

Instead of watching a reality show maybe tune into some church service via the web or some Worship hour or open the good book THE BIBLE OF COURSE or even read some inspiring words from a blog you like or even this one.

For all of those people who do not believe in our Savior or who may simply have fallen or have done a little backsliding from the church. I will say a prayer that your eyes will be opened that he is the creator of us all and we should bring him praise and worship if not in church each week just bringing him into your home life daily or sending out a prayer request for a loved one.  That  we have creatures great and small all around us and abundance of fruit and veggies because of him, that woman have the miracle of childbirth around the world because of him.

In these times of trouble around the world we should atleast look to the one that may literally be in control of our eternal soul.  I know for myself streets paved in gold sounds a lot better then eternity suffering in a river of fire,  you be the judge for yourself.  These are my opinions and everyone has the right to their own.  I for one would rather believe in someone that has already helped me immensly throughout my life even if I have never seen him, then worship some mortal being here on earth  like all of these foolish teenage girls screaming for Justin Bieber or The Jonas Brothers.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone I'm just stating that this world has become so corrupt and evil over the last few decades.  Also another reason I feel we are very close to the End of Days.  If reality TV is any showing that the time of the end is near consider praying and maybe repenting.

Anyways God Bless and Best Wishes
and as Always have a Great Day.

Love & Praise God Always, Peace.

Exercise: The Most Critical Aspect of Any Lifestyle


Now I have wrote about this in the past but I though I needed to touch base again on this point.  You may already know what I'm talking about or you may be wondering what it is.  I'm discussing EXERCISE and really any kind, any form, anything that gets you moving in the direction of living a healthier lifestyle.  Really anything it can be walking, jogging, step aerobics, interval training, boxing,
martial arts, running, hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing, kayaking, using a treadmill, elliptical, or rowing machine anything that makes you use your own body to get you some where or gets your blood pumping.  Cardio exercise is the only thing that keeps are hearts strong and the blood flowing properly without exercise your heart becomes weak just like your other muscles and you increase the risk of heart disease, heart attack, Obesity"staying FAT", and other health complications.  So before you sit down for the evening to watch your favorite program or even just to read a book consider going for a walk first or even a jog depending on your physical abilities.  People in wheelchairs consider using some dumbbells if you have use of your arms or some other sport like wheelchair basketball.  Really there are forms of exercise for all people meaning anyone that is willing to try something new or something they may have done many years prior just do it your body may yell at you with pain but that is your body telling you your out of shape it gets easier as you progress.  Staying healthy and strong is in your hands no one can do the exercise for you.  Time for you to get off the tush and move your buns.

P.S. I recommend buying a MP3 player or Ipod and have some music to listen too.  I personally find it motivating while at the gym or even walking my dog. I listen to techno it gets you moving, but choose what you like classical though may not be the best choice for a workout session just an observation.

God Bless and Best Wishes.
Remember like I have said before only you can make the changes for you!.  Look at it this way when someone says you can't do it or you will always be FAT use that as a motivator and prove them wrong.

Trust me it feels great when you do something and surprise people that said you couldn't do it has given me more motivation to carry on and lose even more weight.

Tropical Fruits: Dragon Fruit talk about a Strange Little Package.


I came across this strange looking fruit over many years ago and since then I cannot get enough of it.  These tasty fruit look like something you would see in an episode of Star Trek being ripped apart by a Klingon or some other science fiction flick.  Really when you see them you will know what I'm talking about, and if you have you would most likely agree.   If you have yet to try them simply based on what they look like then your passing buy a fruit like no other and the taste that is unmatched.  From the outside you would suspect the inside looking even more bizarre though it is quite simple actually.   When I first cut one of these open I didn't know what  to expect what it would look like, taste like, and what the texture was going to resemble.  I was pleasantly surprised to see a large ball form it actually looked like a large white kiwi fruit but they can be different colors like the deep red you see in the photo above and they also have a yellow skin variety as well.  Like so many fruits there are many different varieties I guess you could say this is like Thailand's take on the North American Apple. 

So the look of the interior flesh it was easy to digest, the smell was sweet but also kind of neutral.  Then came the taste and from what I could decipher with my keen sense of taste was that it tasted as if a pear and a kiwi fruit mingled together and formed this SUPER FOOD.  Yes this awesome fruit is considered a super food I would have to right another whole article to explain all of the health benefits and most likely someone already has so I will keep mine brief.   It tastes great is loaded with tons of essential nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants as well it is also great for a after or prior workout energy boost, naturally low in calories and is also an exotic fruit originating mainly in Thailand and other parts of Asia.




So put the look of this fruit aside buy one try it and trust me you'll be hooked.

Loving the Dragon fruit.
Peace and God Bless

Bananas & Dates: Two Staple Foods for a Thriving Raw Food Lifestyle

DATES/BANANAS.  These two items are crucial to living a thriving raw food lifestyle.  What I mean by thriving is that if you want to live raw and be all simple and lazy and such that is fine and all.  But if you live like so many of us that have a hard job, enjoy being outdoors, jogging,  and other sports and in general trying to stay healthy and fit then you need to consume these two items and in vast quantities to truly excel in you life.  For instance I had an awesome green smoothie for breakfast with four bananas, 1cup blueberries, 2cups water and a good handful of spinach  MMMM.  Now I recommend bananas and dates simply because they are foods that you can get reasonably cheap all year round.  When you consider your other high fructose fruits like Mangos for instance they are quite expensive out of season.  So if your living this way and you have a thriving lifestyle and you find yourself running out of energy grab some bananas and munch on a few dates and your good to go and they are both so portable.  Just my opinion eat what you wish though most longterm raw foodist would agree with me.  I have enclosed a link to Raw Food Vegan Athlete Harley Johnson also known as Durianriders video on the importance of Bananas and Dates and a Thriving Raw Foodists Lifestyle.  Check it out have a laugh and also learn some stuff you may not know he has been 100% Raw for many years and is also an extreme athlete "Caution He Swears Some".

Peace and God Bless.


Sleep Problems: Live Raw Sleep Like a Baby..

So for the last while I have been living mainly raw.  Yes I have experimented with some meat products and even some processed stuff.  Mainly though just raw fruits and veggies and some dried fruit, nuts and super foods like chia seeds for instance.  Okay lets get to the title of the blog I have never slept this good well except for maybe when I was a teenager, it is kind of strange I know this lifestyle is able to reverse the aging process to some degree though truly I feel like I'm getting younger as each day goes by. Not only do I sleep better I find I'm getting smarter or maybe my brain isn't weighed down with toxins as much as before I started this Raw Food lifestyle conversion.   Really whatever the reason I'm not complaining this is awesome like I have said in the past it amazes me that just changing the way you eat and what you eat that it can have such a huge impact on your life.   So I would have to say too all the people living with insomnia or restlessness consider this lifestyle for yourself, you may also enjoy the best sleep you have had in years.  Remember it is a known fact that green smoothies/Raw Foods can help with anxiety and depression which have been commonly associated with insomnia and restlessness.  So really with all of the health benefits living this way has to offer why wait another minute try this for yourself.

God Bless and Best Wishes.
