This looks delicious! I’m finding that as I age I’m naturally turning away from things that are *not* healthy for me anyway and moving toward a more raw-foodist way of eating. I drawn more to nuts, fruits and veggies straight from the source if I can get them.
O an side not, I starting collecting paintings about 5 years ago froma woman who calls herself the “Rawartist” on Ebay. She is a rawfoodie who claims healing. I know in my own life, without detoxifying my body to a certain extent it wouldn’t have healed (no cancer, but immunity problems).
I’m a believer.
Peace.
What would you suggest for someone allergic to legumes?
I’m just finishing up on reading The Perricone Prescription, and I absolutely LOVED it! It supports everything I believe about aging, weight gain, disease, and energy levels all being related to our food intake.
I rented it from the library, but after reading it, I have to buy it, so I can use it as a reference whenever needed.
I slip up fom time to time but for the most part I am more concious about the foods I am eating and what I am feeding to my family. My husband read the book as well and thought it to be very enlightening.
Totally makes sense…
