Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi,<br><br>I'm new to this club and thought I

would introduce myself. My online name is Jean. I am a

licensed health care professional who incorporates raw

foodism in patient care. I have been big into raw foods

for about 3-4 years but have also incorporated my

other training for a different blend of raw foodism

than most folks. <br><br>Responsive to the other posts

here I thought I'd share some experiences. I enjoy

eating instictively aka " anapsology " and include flesh

foods in my raw food regimen as well as condiments

including salt. I need high amounts of protein so included

in my raw foods regimen are fish, meat, poultry,

dairy (goat and cow), nuts and eggs. Most people think

about fruit and veggies, not flesh foods when thinking

about raw foods. <br><br>An aside: Sticking to an

instictive diet for 3 months a few years ago just about

cured my hay fever. For those who don't know how to eat

instictively, and have allergies, cut out all the flour and

dairy if you have a hay fever problem. <br><br>Someone

mentioned enjoying hot food in cold weather. Prior to

changing to a raw foods diet I was always cold in the

winters even in mild weather. I have found that you need

sufficient amounts of raw fat and protein to stay warm. For

me that means routintely increasing consumption of

raw nuts, raw seeds, raw fish, cold pressed oils in

fall and winter. This would also fit into our

biological/genetic ancestry; fruit and veggies are less plentiful

during winter months.<br><br>I believe that a raw food

has helped my health and my energy levels

tremendously and that it can slow aging. I think that of the

most commonly chosen cooked foods, foods with cooked

fats and flour are the most injurious to one's health.

New research has shown that cooked fats transform

nutritional fats into toxic transfatty acids that damage

cells. <br><br>Regards,<br>Jean
