Combat the Fat Eat RAW

What can I say most every person on the planet has dealt with the issue of a belly be it just a little flab or the morbidly obese.  Even I have and still continue to battle with the belly bulge this is actually one of the reasons I started down the path of living mainly raw.  I have been a heavier set guy since I was 10yrs old and well almost hitting forty starts to make you think it is about time I dealt with this issue.  Now I'm not saying that being fat has not been hard on me I have been called names looked at in disgust people who are heavier know what I'm talking about.  I was lucky enough to find a person who loved me for me and she has also been my motivator in getting in shape for the first time in my life.  Yes I'm talking about my wife she is the lucky one having the high metabolism and has usually been about half my size.  Well all I can say is that with hard work and some dedication on my part I'm starting to tone my body knock off some pounds and be more energetic and full of joy.  I find that this Raw Food Lifestyle has been a life preserver thrown out to me in the high seas of obesity and it truly has set me free to lose the weight I want while enjoying some great fruits and veggies I have loved throughout my life and trying new ones as I continue on my raw journey.  

I have found a lifestyle that works for me and many others in this world that is healthy, full of benefits, aids in weightloss, curbs depression, great for anxiety, increase joy, energy, love, spiritual awareness and many illnesses that you may know you have or not.  It has also been labelled the Fountain of Youth or Anti-Aging Lifestyle.  So truly if you are finally tired of being fat, lazy and sick, get rid of all the junk in your cabinets, fridge, drawers, and any secret hiding spaces, and
start cleaning up your life.

Watermelon, Pomegranate, & Orange Power Juice

Well last night after a long jog and elliptical session I went shopping for some fruits and veggies and out of some of the produce i  bought I made this simple juice recipe.  
First of all this is what you will need.

1 pomegranate
1/2 mini watermelon or 1/4 of a large one
2 oranges.

So as I have said in the past I own a Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer and would recommend this too anyone looking for the king of centrifugal juicers.  I started by getting all the seeds and juice from the pomegranate into a bowl.  The watermelon was not organic so I chose to peel it, peel the oranges a little pith is fine but no rind, orange rind will give you stomach indigestion.

After this was done I ran everything through the juicer all I can say is that it was amazing.  This would be a great wake-up drink or really a anytime beverage.  NO matter what you may think fresh made juice will always kick processed fruit juices butt.  The best juice you can drink is the one you make and consume right away.  So stop wasting money on processed sugar laden fruit juice in the store make your own and feel the benefits of truly energizing fruit juice.  Remember the juice in stores in the tetra packs and the cartons is pasteurized and we all know in this process all the healthy enzymes and nutrients are being killed off and most of the fruit is from concentrate as well.

If not for yourself if you have kids stop buying powders which are full of the poison known as Aspartame and of course most of these fruit juices are so cheap because they are 10-25% fruit juice from concentrate and the rest is water and sugars.  Truly if we have the equipment to make our own
a decent juicer isn't all that expensive then why drink poison.

David's Teas Winter and Christmas Blends

Well most of you know I love tea and frequent the local establishment all the time.  Well last week the new winter blends arrived some returning decadent teas like the Chili Chocolate Chai and then some new blends that are quite awesome.  The best one I would have to say has been the best tea I have ever had from the any other seasonal collection is called Alpine Punch it smells a bit like marzipan the nutty almond scent, with some fruity undertones it tastes well incredible.   The flavours emanating out of this blend  is something out of this world really to describe it makes me kind of speechless it is something to just try.  The smell of this tea alone sends you into another world let alone when you drink this heavenly concoction, it is also a Rooibos Tea Blend so you get all the antioxidents and no caffiene let alone all the other properties that rooibos teas have to offer.  The others are a black tea with figs which sounds interesting enough on its own I have yet to try this one but the combination sounds intriguing, another green tea called hottoboggan is quite delicious with a nice apple and spice kind of take this made me think of apple cider.  Then the last time I went in the holiday teas had arrived a returning favorite is Elf Help this tea is great for helping during a cold/flu or just to enjoy on its own.

A new one for the holiday season that has arrived is a puerh tea blend made of the fermented black tea, orange peel, and chocolate I had a latte with soy yesterday of this.  I have to tell you it was amazing the flavours of all the ingredients just exploded with the first sip the chocolate, the orange and the tea being used with this are incredible it was almost like drinking a Terry's Chocolate Orange and we all know how good those are.  Needless to say so many new varieties you need to go check them out because wow the flavours and gift ideas are everywhere. 
I only can hope you all the best in your own journeys and what can I say tea makes the days we spend on this earth a little more special.

God Bless and Peace
