Food For Thought - Part VII (FINAL)

June 23, 2004

Greetings Members:

Exerpt from Nomi Shannon, author of "The Raw Gourmet" (Information mostly for beginners and others if you can use it)It's not all about foodThe most important thing to remember as you begin to change your lifestyle is this: Don't think that it is all about food. Yes, what you eat is vital, but it is not the only thing to focus on. At least as important, and perhaps even more important than food, is exercise.You can't improve your health by sitting at home reading cookbooks and watching television! Keep moving, or begin moving.Seventy-five percent of all the good you can do for yourself by using the recipes in this book could be lost if you don't exercise. Walk, run, jog, use a trampoline, ride an exercise bike, join a water aerobics class or a mall walking group, use a hula hoop, go hiking, rollerblade, kayak, row, canoe, play basketball, play tennis, play volleyball, swim,play hockey, climb

stairs on your lunch hour-whatever you like. And if no form of exercise interests you, start doing something anyway and you will find that eventually you willbegin to enjoy it. If you are ill-too ill to exercise, do the most that you can; even visualizing your body going through the motions is good for you.As you move toward a cleaner lifestyle, analyze your mind, your body, your spirit, your attitudes, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, forces in the environment, toxins of the body, of the mind and of the spirit. Many of us have grown up treating the body and the mind as separate entities. The mind, however, exerts influence down to the most minute cellular level. If you are chronicallynegative, fearful or angry, it matters little that you eat ‘perfectly,' or even that you run marathons. Chronic emotional upset such as resentment, anger, grief, fear and depression restricts the regenerative capacity of the

body. Remember that positive feelings, thoughts, emotions and behavior are essential for optimum health.Eating living foods is not a religion. You don't need to make an intellectual decision about whether or not you believe in it. The only way to know if you will be greatly improving your life is to try it for a fair amount of time and see for yourself. You don't even need to understand all the facts about enzymes and digestive processes in order to benefit from changing your habits. The bottom line is, like the sneaker people say, Just do it!For a permanent copy of this information and much more like it, along with over 250 delicious recipes and dozens and dozens of full color photographs, order your copy of The Raw Gourmet here today for only $24.95, plus shipping.
