Day 12 Detoxification
What does it mean to detoxify your body?
Detoxification is a self-purifying process which the body carries out at all times, but most aggressively during the early to late morning hours. It is advantageous to eat lightly in the morning. Heavy foods eaten at this time suspend the cleansing process, keeping us toxic, and, in some cases, overweight. The process of "detox" entails: 1. the cells off-loading metabolic wastes and environmental toxins into the bloodstream for filtering by the liver and kidneys for elimination, and 2. the organs of elimination (bowels, kidneys, lungs, skin, vagina) releasing metabolic, environmental and residual food wastes via feces, urine, breath, sweat and menses. Toxins are also expectorated in mucus via the throat and sinuses. (This information is from livingnutrition.com-Taken from Your Natural Diet: Alive Raw Foods by Drs. T. C. Fry & David Klein)
Many people believe that once I do a short detox program my body is rid of all of its toxins. This is incorrect information. After years and years of improper eating habits our body harbors many toxins that lead to diseases, illness, and many other symptoms. It can take months or even years to restore your body to a healthy state. The most beautiful part of our bodies is that if we start to treat them right they will heal themselves. No matter how late you start in life!

Day 11 What is a raw diet?
Many of you have asked questions about what is a raw diet and what foods are included/excluded. I have attached an article for you to browse to get a few quick pointers. This lady has a great website called rawglow.
http://www.rawglow.com/whyrawfoods.htm
Remember, you need a balanced diet and EXERCISE! 30 minutes a day to keep the fat away. It can be as simple as walking. Break it up into 10 minute intervals. Don't say you don't have time. You have time in your day for what you decide is important to you.
If it were work, tv, a date, church, or anything else you would make time for it. Stop making excuses and just get out and do it. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Day 9 Probiotics
What are probiotics?
Short and sweet, there are the good bacteria that are found in the body. I have attached a link for you to read more about what the benefits and dangers of probiotics. I have personally used this product for about one year and have seen the difference in my digestive health and immunity. You can find probiotics in your health food store in pill and powder form. I usually tend to order online to get a big quantity for a better price.

Day 8 Food Association
Did you ever stop and think about your most favorite memories?
I remember holidays with family, special moments with friends and hundreds of other celebrations and you know what the consistent theme is...food is always at every event. Isn't it funny how when we are going to a party or celebration we expect food to be there? As I am reading the 12 Steps to Raw Food by Victoria she highlights very thought provoking questions.
What if you went to a party or celebration and there was no food how would you feel? We link food to moments of reward, celebration, emotional turmoil and anything else we can think of.
If we only ate the foods that were nutritious for our body, would we really still have cake at birthdays, wings and beer at football games, candy at the movies, ice cream when we felt down? These things add nothing of value to our bodies but yet in still we consume them in large quantities.
I challenge you to look at your habits and see where you associate food with activities that are fantastic even without junk!
Try to watch a movie without food in your hands.
Meet a friend not for lunch but for fruit smoothies.
