Raw Food: Cleanse or Detox?

People are often confused which is the right choice to Detox or to Cleanse. They are actually each separate processes and are part of a three part sequence.
To  be safe and easy on the body, First your should CLEANSE. Then DETOX, and then you should REJUVENATE.

Cleansing deals with cleaning out the digestive track (colon) only after Cleansing would you detoxify your organs and cells.

While Cleansing and Rejuvenating may occur at the same time, it is not advisable to attempt to Cleanse and Detox at the same time – too hard on the body!

Raw Food - Tag Yoga Party

Went to a Tag Yoga class again last nite, Chanting, music and AMAZING RAW Food.
Chef Tom made the Best Raw Food I have ever had. The Raw Hummus was out of this world with some kind of curry. That and the coconut noodles Thai salad left my mouth watering. I must confess I went back for seconds!
We need a restaurant that serves that quality EVERYDAY!

Setting up the Raw Kitchen - Part 5 Other Gadgets and Gizmos

Setting up the Raw Kitchen - Part 5 - Other Gadgets and Gizmos
In this final part of How to Set up a Raw Kitchen, please realize that I have just covered the basics.
Depending upon your budget and how 'into' preparing RAW food you want to get.
Here is a list of some of the other items you may want to consider:
Coffee Grinder - Great for grinding up herbs
Water Ionizer - makes Ionized Alkaline water
Mandolin - makes slicing vegetables a breeze!
Nutbag - great for sprouting seeds and making nut milk
Juicer - Greenstar is the best. However, with most health food stores making juice. You might find it cheaper - 'made to order'!
Ice Cream Makers - nothing quite like homemade RAW ice cream. Let your creativity go wild!

I hope this gives you a good start. Check back soon for more info on Transitioning to a Raw Healthy Diet.

Setting up the Raw Kitchen - Part 4 Dehydrators

Dehydrators:
As I mentioned in the first of this series this is NOT the first piece of Kitchen equipment to buy.
However, when you are ready for some tasty crisp crackers, a Raw Pizza or a Raw Protein Bar then there is only one - The Excaliber.
Don't waste your time, money and food on inferior products. Believe me I've tried the cheaper ones, and the entire mess wound up in the garbage - food and dehydrator!


You want to buy the larger 9 tray model. You will be amazing how one mixing bowl of batter can quickly turn into 9 trays! You can always freeze things for later. ( A word on freezing - There is some controversy in the Raw Community regarding freezing. Is it still alive? Are the enzymes dead? All I can say is if they can freeze human eggs and turn them into a LIVING PERSON - it is still alive!

Namaste'
