Are You Eating Too Much Fruit?
by Paul Nison,
Reprinted with the permission of the author.
Because eating too much fruit is very common, I am often asked, "What is
too much fruit?" If you take in more sugar than you're going to burn, that
is too much. If one does choose to eat a lot of fruit he/she should make sure
to keep very active, but a person shouldn't keep active just because he wants
to eat a lot of fruit.
In the first year of eating healthy with mostly raw foods, adding raw foods,
including fruit, to your diet should be very easy and fun. A person could eat
just about anything in any amount, and, chances are, will be doing much better
than before starting to eat a healthy raw diet.
But as time goes on, we have to simplify our diets and also reduce the amounts.
There is no doubt in my mind that leafy greens and non-sweet fruits are the
best for our bodies. Sweet fruit is okay also, but if you eat too much it can
be dangerous.
Something else to think about is the quality of what you are eating. The higher
quality the food, the less we'll need because we'll be getting so many
nutrients in the high quality foods. When eating lower quality foods we eat
much more because we're not giving the body what it needs, so it craves more
food.
Organic whole, ripe fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds are all that is needed for
the body to thrive. Once people realize that, the next question is how much or
how little is enough. The more the body has to work, the more stress it has. Stress
equals disease! The more we eat, the more stress we
will have. Eat the high quality foods in small amounts and that will be
enough, and will also help keep stress levels low.
Energy and Food:
At first we need to eat more food to hold back the toxins from coming out too
fast. Once we are somewhat clean, we can eat less and do more. We get energy
from food in one form, but with digestion, we use more energy than we take in,
especially if we overeat, or eat very low quality foods.
Most people eat too much sugar, which can be the cause of many problems
including addiction and disease. A great book, "The pH
Miracle," talks about this. This book has become one of the best selling
books on our website: www.TheRawWorld.com. People who follow the low sugar, raw
high quality food diets are getting great results.
I suggest everyone try a low sugar diet, and see how great it can work.

Feedback from last week’s newsletter:
Hi Jim,
Thank you so much for the
"Backsliding" inspiration. I am finding that the same thing is
happening in my life. It's been a year since I spent 5 weeks at the
Institute in
Thanks,
Ann Fuller
That's great James. I'm
going up to
Thanks for the encouraging letter,
ML,
Lauri Bingaman
Thank you so much for your info on
backsliding - I really needed that. I am very new to raw foods and have
only managed to stay 100% raw for one week - But I am managing to incorporate
more raw foods than cooked foods.
Thanks again
Marianna

Unexpected Benefits of Being
Raw
by James Carey
I live out in the
woods of east central
I’m just
careless about it, is all. I stop to admire the
sunrise, then realize that the tree I’m leaning
against is covered with PI vines. I go crawling under the house to fix
something, and realize the next day that the pretty little plants I crawled
over were poison oak. I go berry picking, and push right though the poison
sumac to get to the blackberry bushes behind. I’ve even caught PI from
the dog (the oil can be carried on their fur) and mowing the yard.
Invariably, two days
later I start to itch, and when I backtrack my activities
I find the cause of infection (the CCDC calls this “vectoring,” in
case you were wondering.)
At least I never get
PI on my feet or ankles. That’s because I always wear big, heavy boots
around the farm. Of course, I’m constantly battling Athlete’s Foot.
I wear two pair of white socks, change them at midday (dinner, not lunch), and
have a collection of sprays, ointments and powders. I know almost as much about
Athlete’s Foot fungus as I do about Poison Ivy.
It’s been
different this summer, though. Here it is July already and the one case of PI
I’ve had lasted only two days. And I haven’t had Athlete’s
Foot since I left CHI last fall. Curious, no? I
thought so, especially since spring came a month early and everything’s
blooming even heartier than usual.
I mentioned this to
Don Haughey and he said, “Oh, that’s because your body is more
alkaline now.” I checked with a chemist at Georgia Southern University,
and, sure enough, that’s correct. An alkaline body chemistry repels skin diseases.
Like the local girls
say, “Well, ain’t that special?”

Backslider’s Corner
For an excellent
overview on the problems our bodies have with processing animal protein, and
some transitional ideas on how to move from the standard American diet to a
Vegan one, I highly recommend the video, “A Diet for All Reasons,”
by Dr. Michael Klaper,
MD. Of course, Dr. Lorraine Day is still our favorite.
<g> What I appreciated about Dr. Klaper’s video is that he sums up the reasons for the
entire veg*n movement in 50 minutes. For me, it’s
been a good reminder of why I’m striving to be 100% raw Vegan. -- James
