I become a bit conscious of my weight today that’s why i browsed health mags on the net and I come across this article.  Although it’s been several months my mom kept telling me to lose weight, eat organic fruits and vegetables.  Now that her amapalaya has grown and it has served her at meals for several mealtimes now, It made me wonder about eating raw and checked the advantage and disadvantage of eating raw vegetables.

According to the article in Earth Talk that i’ve read earlier,  Proponents of raw foods, sometimes called “living foods,” believe that raw foods are much healthier for the body than cooked or processed foods. Followers of diets based wholly or largely on raw foods claim numerous health benefits, including increased energy levels, clearer skin, better digestion, weight loss and reduced risk of heart disease.   More of the article here.

Having read many health books (Health and Home) even the admonision of Ellen White,  I can agree wholly that eating raw can contribute to a healthy and longer life, I can agree that eating raw vegetables or fruits can contribute to a healthy and longer life.

Am inspired seeing mom eating her organic grown ampalay and she wants to share it with us — but i just can’t eat.  She said there’s no bitterness in it and I said, maybe that is not ampalaya.  She eats the ampalaya raw just like the rabbit eating a carrot.

I promise myself now, if given the time again and the finances, might try lacto-ovo vegetarianism.   Then maybe will try yoga, too.

I don’t mean to say that I don’t want to grow old.  I do want to but I wanna grow healthy.  At my age now, I think it is still not too late to change my lifestyle.

I hope to come across more articles about this.
