Information you NEED for your health!

For the last two weeks my husband and I have dedicated all of our spare time to educating ourselves on health and wellbeing. This short post is to direct you, my readers to some documentaries and topics so that I regard as essential for your education and self improvement.

I encourage you to watch the following documentaries as urgently as possible. Stick it out and watch them to the end, it is well worth the effort. I’ve learned some mind blowing things that have fuelled my desire to seek out more information. I will gradually include notes here on everything I refer you to as I know everyone doesn’t have time to do what I am doing.

“The Beautiful Truth”

“Healing Cancer from Inside Out” (just as important to watch even if you are not affected by cancer)

“Raw Food for Life – The Ultimate Encyclopedia of the Raw Food Lifestyle

I am concentrating my research on raw food at the moment. Becoming vegan or even just vegetarian was not something I have ever strongly considered until I watched these documentaries. My husband and I are both converting to a vegetarian and eventually vegan diet of predominanately raw food. We feel strongly enough about what we have learnt recently that it is necessary for our current and long term health. Some of my knowledge on nutritional requirements – especially protein intake has been spun around.

If you think about it, it is 2009 and we have spent billions of dollars on health research, drugs, treatments, “health food”, supplements and the like, yet the rates of cancer, heart disease, obesity and other major concerns are rising out of control! People still die after enduring the horrible side effects of treatments and surgeries. These documentaries outline why going back to our natural diet of raw, organic fresh vegetables and fruits is the only effective way of ensuring health and wellbeing. Consider that we are a society that treats symptoms not causes. Diet is THE number one reason why people develop cancer, heart disease, diabetes and become obese. Poisoning our bodies with chemotherapy has not proven to stop cancer in it’s tracks – in fact it often causes patients to have a severe recurrance that takes their life. The treatment and surgeries often leave them a sick, crippled mess, in pain and susceptible to any bug going around. Some of these documentaries show people who have overcome terminal cancer easily via converting to raw food vegan diets and a stack of evidence from studies supporting what they are saying. It is possible to eliminate diabetes simply via diet and people are doing it every day.

I will be posting some articles over the next week or two outlining the main points from these doco’s and also some information I am gathering from further research and undertaking a better diet myself. I’m very grateful for the people who pointed me in the right direction. It feels like a light has gone off in my head. You will need to challenge a lot of what you see in advertising and media with regards to food and nutrition – remember that these industries are BUSINESSES, not volunteers who are educating you out of the goodness of their hearts. It is not in their best interest financially to find cures for cancers, or to teach you that you can easily grow everything you need to eat at home in a 4m x 12m run of garden beds! Keep an open mind, become a critical thinker and educate yourself NOW so you can start enjoying the fantastic enlightenment and buzz of health that changing your eating habits can provide. Don’t be one of the fools who assumes “it won’t happen to me” and cancer or some other serious health concern will never come knocking on your door. It isn’t just about prevention, it is about feeling alive, having motivation day in day out, about your moods being normal. You can make changes with what you eat that will change your skin, your weight, your strength, your sleep, your ability to get pregnant! As mentioned in Raw Food for Life, it is a “Win – Win” !
