LIFESTYLES of the RAW and FABULOUS
Eating raw is not just a diet, it's a lifestyle. Here is some inspiration and an inside look into what it means to live raw.
Going into nature and touching the ground with our bare feet is as natural as it gets. Grounding has been shown to lower cortisol levels, reduce stress, normalize thyroid function and is an effective anti-aging tool. Get out in nature and touch the ground with your toes!
Meditating is a daily practice that will help you achieve better health and overall happiness. It's important to choose what we put in our bodies and the thoughts that we think. Meditation helps to ground you so that these daily decisions become easier and more natural. Omvana is an app that I use daily to help me meditate-I hope you love it.
Eating raw shouldn't be expensive. Learning where to buy your food is as important as the quality. Connecting to your local farmer is a great way to buy local and get great discounts to help you stay raw without breaking the bank. Success!!
This is a great way to recover after a work out to repair muscle and replenish electrolytes. The juice is made from carrot and celery and mixed with a scoop of raw vegan protein powder from Sunwarrior.
This magical duo is amazing for losing weight- something that will happen naturally as you eat raw. These two grasses will speed the weight loss and detoxification process along.
In life we have choices- we are creating our legacy everyday. How will you create yourself today?
Even if we can't go into nature, looking at images such as these can calm and soothe us. Doing something as simple as having plants in your home can clean your home's air and provide stress relief. Bring a little nature in if you can't go to it.
Eating fresh ripe fruit will make you lean and toned. Bananas are loaded with nutrients that support your metabolism and will give you the energy you need to fuel your day and your workouts. Check out the amazing Freelee- an Australian raw vegan gal who has eaten up to 50 bananas in one day and is lean as ever.
I like to choose one day of the week to allow my digestive system to rest and recuperate. On this day I love to juice fruits and veggies galore. The juices give me the necessary nutrition and hydration to feed my cells, while providing my digestive tract to heal and repair.
A little workout and a grounding in the perfect setting.
Listing the things we are grateful for on a daily basis helps to ground and re-orient ourselves. The attitude of gratitude can give you a life of abundance and clarity. It's a ritual that I like to practice while getting ready in the morning. Try to make it a habit to recount all of the things you are grateful for in your life each and every day.
Working out and juicing go hand in hand. Juice is the perfect pre and post workout drink to fuel and hydrate you so that you can achieve your goals. Beets are an amazing way to give you power and endurance during a workout. They provide your body with nitrates that pump oxygen and blood more quickly to your gorgeous muscles!
