Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Hi, Nutruient/energy dense or wholefoods are foods with less natural/structural/distilled water content. My experience has been to always take my own supply of nutrient-dense nuts (always almonds),seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flax) and dried fruit (dates are a super food, raisons, figs). Some long-term raw food eaters will recommend spirulina, blue-green algae and grass powders for chlorophyll and minerals. I see that you are travelling to "developed" countries so that you should be able to obtain daily fresh greens for your minerals. Water is another factor while travelling. Airplane travel dehydrates the body as airplane cabin air is extremely dry. Be sure to have quality water with you while flying. Drinking water is only an issue in "less-developed" countries. If you do happen upon some questionable water then boil it (this is only recommended when travelling to very remote areas with no running water or fresh wells). Two other good staples, which I never leave home without, is garlic and cayenne. If you are feeling like you ate a questionable meal then eat garlic and cayenne and hydrate yourself well since both are dehydrating. Garlic has sulfur in it and dries up excess mucous. I feel the single most important factor in enjoying your vacation in finding a fresh produce market, preferably the farmer kind, and the fresh food found there should be the main-stay of your raw eating. ...Happy travels. regards, joyce - Timothy D.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Cheers- for me, backpacking for several months forced me to boil down my pack to the basic basics-- aside from blue green algae, a vital superfood, no room for food was afforded. I wasnt raw at the time, but a vegan in Latin America.... The places to where you're travelling shouldnt prove to be too difficult to obtain fresh, clean fruits, provided you'll be in areas with regular markets. By contacting The Fresh Network, you may be able to hook up with raw potlucks and culture---> www.fresh-network.com, or info. There are loads of 'fresh' groups throughout the regions you'll be visiting. I also recommend having a friend send you occassional care packages of fruit roll-ups, crackers, and other nutrient-dense staples once you know you'll be in a certain location for a few days- or plan ahead: get the addresses of the hostel where you'll be 6 days in advance and email the address off to your personal dehydratin' chef. If you dont have anyone who can do this for, please let me know and I may be able to help you- I sell these staples locally and would be into sending them off for travellers as well. Best of luck and we look forward to meeting you! Karen --- " Timothy D.
