One of the hardest things about raw food is not quite green, and sweet fruit. They do not have as much flavor as the sweet fruit and often require a little more to chew as well. For the "novice" raw foodist, healthy raw vegetables can taste bland, really!
To help increase the health of vegetables in your diet, here are two super simple and delicious recipes for raw materials.
# 1: Green Smoothies
The main reason people have trouble eating their vegetables is quite obvious ... It is difficult to chew 1-2 pounds of green in a single session * *! Not only can this take some time, it is really annoying in the jaw. An excellent way to fight against it is to eat / drink green smoothies. A green liquid is a liquid green fruit was added. Fairly simple, right?
The easiest way to make a green smoothie simply add your favorite fruit to your favorite liquid. If you do not have a favorite liquid, here is a simple recipe to try.
* M.P.R. Smoothie *
* 4-5 mangoes
* 3 peach half
* 10 small leaves of romaine lettuce
* 1-2 cups water
Mixture.
With all the different fruits and vegetables available, the possibilities are endless. You can even try adding herbs such as mint lightly or parsley to their smoothies. How about a strawberry-banana liquid mint? Ooooohhh, now I'm hungry. :)
# 2: raw pasta
Another reason is difficult to find people to eat their vegetables and sweet fruits that are not bored with the typical large salad. They want something new and different.
Give way to raw "pasta"! I know this sounds complicated, fat and unhealthy all around (all that I am against), but I promise you it is not.
Pulp of vegetables is only spiralized! You simply take a sweet fruit like zucchini or cucumber and run it through a spiral vegetable slicer. Then a chip "sauce" of fruits and vegetables and viola. Now you have the raw dough!
Here is a quick, easy and delicious pasta gross to begin.
* Marina-Alla gross *
* Zucchini 2 medium-large
* 1 liter of cherry tomatoes
* 1 mango
* Basil, to taste
Spiralize zucchini. Gently pulse the tomatoes and mangoes in a blender and poured over the pasta. "You can reserve a portion of diced tomatoes and mango as a garnish, if desired.
If you do not have a vegetable spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to gross fettuccine. "Try to cut as thin as possible so as to resemble noodles.
I bought my spiralizer for about $ 30 at amazon.com and it works fine. There are many brands and models to choose from.
You can even add fat to the pasta of your own. Make a sauce with the solicitor or guacamole type nuts sprinkled on a raw tomato sauce. Make sure that you use to remove any fat sweetened fruit on your plate.
You have! Two delicious and healthy ways to increase your consumption of vegetables.

Fast Food and Weight Loss
One issue that continually arises in any rapid weight loss, diet program and, in general, to specialists is the weight I can eat junk food and still lose weight? This May at first be a stupid question and not in the sense that it is very likely that the junk food of the person in the state of being overweight at the start.
However, if you are of those who love their unhealthy junk food and still want to achieve rapid weight loss, then it May be a surprise. Strange as it seems in May, it seems that you can eat salads, with its junk food and still lose weight. Recent studies have shown that they can effectively offset the extra weight gained in the junk food by eating a good salad. May this sounds like science fiction for you, but it can and it works.
We speak, of course, moderation, because they do not want to suck for four or five of its McDoubles in one sitting, eating a small cup of salad. Moderation is key and must be carefully followed.
If you eat a salad at every meal, your metabolism tends to increase the tax that you will burn more fat off fast. If you're wondering how these fit into the diet of salads let me explain further.
Basically it is a dream of chemists. Everything revolves around the interaction between different types of chemicals. Malbouffe their red meat, soft drinks, sweets and sugar loaded fat all milk products are rich in acids. It is these acids which tend to kill if it is in your body. Fortunately for you to treat the body with which the deposit of fatty acids are inside. In this way, neutralizes acids and allows the deposit of fat that is stored in your body.
The greens are at their salad contain a considerable amount of alkali. If you remember your high school chemistry alkaline is the opposite of acid. Alkaline as it is placed in your body is cleansed of most of the toxins that are sitting there in the form of fat.
So now you can begin to understand how you can quickly, perhaps, loss of weight and still eat junk food. The more vegetables you eat more rapid weight loss begins to occur. The main point is that you want to add as many vegetables to your diet as you can. We have shown that the salads contain a considerable amount of alkali to neutralize the acid waste in their food and thus prevent further weight gain to occur. All meals on your plan so that it includes at least 70 percent of them with fruit or vegetables. Only by planning your meals in this way you can be sure of the rapid weight loss.
No amount of exercise will help the success of rapid weight loss if you do things with junk food. It is in their best interest to bend as much as possible. Since you are obviously a serious diet and do not want to have a habit of falling into the junk food of any type can easily see that if the need is too much for what they do well from time to time to visit his local McDonald's or Burger
10 Benefits of a All Raw Diet
Do you really want to go raw, but can not gather the courage to start?
These are among the top 10 benefits of raw foods that everyone has experienced the raw foodist. If this does not convince to go into the rough, do not know what will!
# 1: Improve digestion
If I had to give my highest gross profit of food, improve digestion would be the same. The result is that almost anyone to try raw food experiments.
Not only that, but generally very quickly. Almost all digestive problems can be solved in a few days, if not less. If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or just occasionally disturb the stomach, you will see significant improvements after thought.
However, if the abuse of food combining rule # 1, the results will not be so great. No amount of raw foods can cancel the effects of the combination of sugar into fat.
# 2: Permanent Weight Loss
Hmmmm ... perhaps permanent weight loss should be the main advantage?
I do not think that is going too far to say that about 99.9999999% of people who struggle with their weight at some point in their lives. Many of us go on diet after the regime following the diet in the hope that we will see * some * kind of change in our weight.
Unfortunately, the only change that most of us is a witness to a larger number on the scale. And if we do happen to lose weight, is generally at the expense of our health (ie, caloric restriction, diet pills dangerous programs, frozen food, etc.) and usually returns to haunt us sooner or later.
On the other hand, eating a healthy diet of raw food you can lose weight while continuously improving * your health considerably. In addition, it can eat * pounds of food every day without any guilt!
# 3: More power
Contrary to what you've read / heard many famous raw foodists, raw food are * not * give you energy. Nothing you eat, be it a hamburger or a banana. Eat foods of all kinds * * requires energy, as all that you have energy during the day.
What is a root of a healthy raw vegan diet really special is that it requires less energy for the process in your body. 2 pounds of grapes takes literally minutes to be fully digested by the body. This prevents food or even a complicated dish, raw fat, which have hours to be digested.
* The truth is a supplier of energy in standby, which leads me to draw # 4 ...
# 4: Better sleep
Since I am in the rough, I'm almost never feel tired when I went to bed. Even after being so long in the rough, always ready to go to bed sometimes and think, "Gee, I will not be able to sleep at this time. Maybe I should be a little more."
However, to convince me to go to bed and when my head hits the pillow, I feel relaxed. Within minutes, I'm out.
The best part? When I awake, I am fully awake and ready to start my day. No more ringing in the morning for me!
This is far from my routine for two years. My routine is to feel completely exhausted by 4pm. Try not to fall asleep at the wheel on the way home from a client. I feel a little better after a nap of 30 minutes. I feel exhausted again by 7pm. Still in bed exhausted by 10am. Stay awake for an hour. Getting up at 7 o'clock in the morning groggy and grouchy. Repeat.
Yikes, makes me tired just typing!
# 5: Mental Clarity
I'm not sure that many raw foodists will disagree with that. Raw Foodists be tree hugging, hippie nut job, right?
In a diet of raw foods, because you are not a weight of your body hard to digest cooked food, more energy than you use your brain!
Of course this has much to do with sleep, as described above. Because they spend less energy to digest foods rather sleep. This means that we have more energy during the day, our thoughts are usually much clearer and better our goal. We are more mentally and emotionally stable.
It's really a cycle, right? The more you eat raw food, better sleep. The better sleep, more energy you have. The more power you have, the more you are mentally stable. The more stable mentally, the more it is retained in the rough. The longest stay in the rough ...
# 6: soft, smooth and clear skin
To be honest, I have always had very good skin. He had three defects may be in my life. In fact, the worst my skin has never been in the first months after my departure from Salt *! But that is for another article ...
I am not trying to brag about. I just want to be honest. I am not here to make a fuss about how the transition goes crazy in the rough grow more than 5 inches tall and he gave me the power of flight. Although I spent almost 2 full of shoes ...
Anyway, I'm sure many of you struggling with skin problems, including skin spots, dry skin, oily skin, visible pores, blemishes, etc.
* * You do not need an expensive, loaded with chemicals routine skin treatment that serves only to irritate the skin and abuse. All you need is a good heapin 'helping water rich in fruits and vegetables.
Sunday and some can not or injuries. :)
# 7: thick hair healthy and shiny
I've always had very thick hair, but it was very dry and difficult to handle in the rough before my departure. The worst is that I want to lay like crazy! My mother has always been to throw handfuls of my long locks of the vacuum rolls. Yuck!
Now, to eat plenty of food, food-rich water, my hair is silky and smooth. And I am no longer a shedding machine!
# 8: The teeth and gums healthy
But teeth are not supposed to putrefaction of the head when you go raw?
NO! The fact that so many long term raw foodists have experienced tooth decay is simply a testimony to the fact that the main diet of raw foods does not * *.
In a healthy diet full of raw fruits, vegetables and low-moderate fat, no experience of tooth problems. In fact, the condition of your teeth and gums can improve!
The real key is to have a robust system of dental care in place and do not have dry food from the base of your diet.
# 9: More than pain, pain, disease or benign
How many of you have trouble with "everyday" illnesses and pains such as headaches, migraines, colds, flu, stomach aches, joint pain, muscle cramps, allergies, etc? We all at one time!
I used to fight with
* Anemia
* Restless Legs Syndrome
* Muscular and pain in the legs and feet
* Cold season 3-4 times per year (more or less when the time change)
* The flu once every two years
* Headaches
* Horrible menstrual cramps and strong currents in my abdomen and lower back which left me in tears
And, of course, were apparently random and unexplained pain that occurs from time to time.
Each of them has been completely eradicated and that I am * * gross. No more headaches. No more colds. Perhaps best of all, not more severe and painful cramping gut! Sorry, guys, but it really is a great for us women.
# 10: Save Some Green
When you decide to take their health into their own hands and go in the rough, you can expect to save * a lot * of money in the process.
No more unnecessary to waste money on drugs, supplements or "Superfoods." No more expensive medical costs. No insurance rates higher.
You can concentrate on *, and who spend more time and money on things that really make you more ... well, you!
It is time to go raw?
What are you waiting for? Every day, you remain the slave of his back pain, your fat, or even his trip to the local pharmacy, is a day that could be life on raw and love!
These are among the top 10 benefits of raw foods that everyone has experienced the raw foodist. If this does not convince to go into the rough, do not know what will!

Fruits and Vegetables Dietary Facts
According to experts, the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables are five servings for children, seven servings for women and nine servings for men. If you're like most people you probably never reach your goal on a daily basis. And, if you're like most of us, your fruits and vegetables did not come from an organic source; so, it's possible that the fruits and vegetables (if you happened to eat them) may have been lacking in nutritional value.
Most nutritionists will agree that staying on top of our nutrient reserve is important. Since our bodies make millions of new cells every day: heart cells, brain cells, bone and blood cells, it's important to replace a cell every time a cell dies. Again, experts say, if we don't have the right amount of nutrients to construct a new cell we will either make an incomplete cell or none at all. In either case, the outcome is bad. So in all reality, we need to keep all nutrients on board at all times. This is I, and many nutritionists suggest a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement.
So, what are Supplements: According to Dr. Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer of TriVita, he says, "The word supplement means in addition to something - to make up for a deficiency. Vitamin and mineral supplements should be taken in addition to a healthy diet. They make up for the deficiency we face due to the poor nutrient density in our foods. Supplements also help out when our diet is less than perfect."
He goes on to say, "the simplest way to help support your nutrition is to take a general multi-vitamin and mineral supplement that provides a broad range of nutrients at standard nutritional levels. However, please keep the following points in mind:
Some supplements contain very high doses of certain nutrients. When you take nutrients in extremely high doses, you are no longer in the world of nutritional supplementation and have passed into the riskier world of megadose treatment."
Calcium and magnesium minerals are very bulky, and few multi-vitamin/mineral supplements provide the daily requirement. These minerals generally must be taken in the form of additional pills. Note: It isn't possible for your body to absorb a day's worth of calcium in a single dose. At least two doses are necessary.
The most common nutritional deficiencies are calcium, chromium, folgate, magnesium, vitamin b6, vitamin c, vitamin b12, vitamin d, vitamin e, and zinc.
Continuing, Dr. Minshew says, "very few of us are so deficient in these nutrients as to show symptoms of outright malnutrition. However, subtle deficiencies may increase the risk of a number of conditions. For example, insufficient intake of calcium and Vitamin D may increase your chances of developing osteoporosis, and inadequate folate and Vitamin B-6 may speed the development of heart disease."
We know that food contains many substances other than vitamins and minerals that may enhance your health.
Dr. Minshew concludes by saying, "supplements won't make up for bad dietary choices. We simply must commit ourselves to eating more fruits and vegetables. Still, the reality of life is that we don't always attend to our diet perfectly. So, appropriate nutrient supplementation can help make up for the deficiency we face because of poor nutrient density in our foods and an imperfect diet."
