Is this yoga position healthy to sit in a chair while doing the computer? Or will sitting in this position too long cut off circulation and cause nerve damage? I can sit like this for hours while doing the computer. Not sure if it is healthy though. My foot falls asleep after about a half hour from the other foot laying on top of it, so I just change feet and put the other one on top. Healthy or bad for me? [Image Embedded Here]   [End]

This one is for all the %100 raw food people. There are many studies that proves that cooking tomateos is more nutritious than eating raw tomatoes. Cooked tomatoes brings out and releases the lycopene in tomatoes. If you don’t cook the tomatoes then they are still nutritious but they don’t have as much lycopene which is needed to prevent cancer in woman and prostate enlargement in men. Tomato vitamins and nutrients are locked inside the tomatoe when they are uncooked so when you eat them, they basically go to waste or you don’t get the full nutritious value. You still get some vitamins out ...

Don’t eat food for 10 days. Drink lots of water, but no food. This will flush out your toxic body and whatever it is inside you from the food that you have been eating for years that is making you stink. It’s called ”fasting”. Try it, you will see it does work.   [End]

Yes you can overdose on water. It is called water intoxication. Behaviors of drinking too much water and water intoxication resembe alcohol intoxication. Swelling of brain tissues can cause seizures, coma and ultimately death. You can read about it here. http://chemistry.about.com/cs/5/f/blwaterintox.htm Healthy adults require approximately three quarts of fluid each day. About half of this comes from food, with the remainder from beverages, So the advice to drink eight cups of liquid each day is good advice. If you exercise, are breastfeeding, are ill, or live in a hot climate, you ...

Maybe you are eating too many nuts. Poeple arent suppose to eat more than 2 teaspoons of sunflower seeds a day. And 5 pecans are equal to 1 tablespoon of oil. That isn’t healthy at all. Raw foodist’s think eating pounds of nuts a day are healthy. But it isn’t. it is important to incorporate them into the diet sensibly. A one-ounce serving of nuts greatly differs. The following equal one ounce: 24 almonds, 18 medium cashews, 12 hazelnuts or filberts, 8 medium Brazil nuts, 12 macadamia nuts, 35 peanuts, 15 pecan halves and 14 English walnut halves (3). Prepackaging nuts into small, sin ... [Image Embedded Here]

Yes, lots of people that use to eat a strict raw diet have ruined their bodies and have problems with their digestion system. Just like you. Most of them are not on here talking about it, because they had to go to the Doctor to heal themselves and get put on medicine, and they want nothing to do with quack diets, such as the raw food diet, so they don’t even hang out on raw food newsgroups. But you should not eat as much fish as you say you are. There is a fairly new FDA warning that says fish contains mercury and you should limit your fish intake to one day a week. You can get mercury ...

I have gone through all the symptoms that nglassman describes and also more. The body needs some bacteria in the body to keep it strong. Not too much, just a little bit. This is why they say NonFat plain yogurt is good to eat(it has natural bacteria in it, which is healthy). But if you don’t eat dairy, then you probably won’t eat yogurt. But yes, I also had the same symptoms you are experiencing.   [End]

LOL. Once again. The man made billions promoting raw food and selling his juicers. OF COURSE he is going to lie and tell the public ANYTHING they want to hear. The human body can’t live on raw food alone. They have to have at least one cooked meal once in a while. I would say at least for dinner.   [End]

I don’t think you should do any more dieting. Leave the dieting to the people that are overweight and sick of disease and need to diet. You are already thin and healthy. You don’t need to diet. I think you should start eating cooked food again. Keep it healthy food, but just cook it. No fried food. But maybe some stir fry cooked in olive oil. And eat whole wheat bread. Whole wheat bread will get your digestion track on schedule again. Not white bread, but whole wheat toasted really good. Toast it. Your digestion system needs fiber to keep it moving correctly. There is not enought fiber in ...

Jay kordich is not 100% raw. He is the juiceman. He drinks juice. He does not eat a 100% raw diet himself. He is a business man who built his fortune selling juicers. What do you expect him to say? Of course he is going to talk about raw fruit and how it is healthy to juice it. You can’t juice a turkey. He never claimed that he eats 100% raw. He said that when he was a child that he had cancer and he ate more raw fruits and vegetables and was cured by a miracle. EVERYBODY who writes a raw food book says the same exact story in their book. Jay kordich doesn’t say in his book that he only ea ...

MOST raw food book authors who has written a book about raw food do NOT look healthy and look older than they really are. Some of them are even OVERWEIGHT(which is proof that they do NOT eat a raw food diet themselves if they are FAT). Not one of the raw food book authors are AMA(American Medical Association) registered doctors. These book authors are just normal people like you and me that decided to write a book after reading another book that somebody else wrote and make money off selling the book. Doctors and dieticians stress how important it is to eat a balanced diet. And a strict ra ...

Yes, I think you should eat at least one cooked meal a day. Your cooked meal should be dinner. It is safe to eat chicken and turkey for meat. But no more than one day a week. Do not go on a %100 raw food fruit and vegetable diet longer than 6 months. You will ruin your body and get sick. Once sickness is in your body, then it is hard to get rid of without going to a doctor and getting medicine prescribed. People that benefit from a raw food diet are sick people. People who are trying to lower their cholesterol, lose weight or unclog their arteries from years of eating fried foods will bene ...

Anybody know of anybody who is over the age of 50 that eats a strict vegan raw food diet? I never seen anybody over 50 that eats this way. All the people that promote the vegan raw food diet are all younger or under 50 years of age. The people over 50 cook their food. They might be vegetarians, but they still cook their food. Show me an American who is over age 50 that eats a strict vegan raw diet. I don’t there is anybody because it is not a healthy diet to follow forever. It is only good to eat this way 75% of your diet. But not 100%. The body needs some cooked food.   [End]

Here is another one. If you order and you live in another state, let us know if it came to tasting good or rotten. Because I would thin that it would take at least 3 days to get to you if you live in another state and it would spoil or not be fresh. Not sure how it would work. I’m sure the food will get turned upside down and mushed around in shipping. But here is another place. Let us know how it worked out. http://www.purerawcafe.com/   [End]

Raw food is good. Just don’t let these book authors and DVD authors lie to you and tell you that they eat raw food when it is obvious that they are LIARS. They eat meat and potatoes. A person can’t get as fat as Alissa Cohen from eating raw fruit and vegetable salads. It is impossible. Her legs rub together when she walks from being so fat. And she has a double chin.

I never seen one raw foodist past the age of 50 that looks young. They all look like they are 100 years old, but they are only 50. Including breatharians. Jasmeen for example and that other guy Wiley. They both look 100 years old and wrinkley and ugly. And they are not even 50 years old. They need to eat healthy solid food. And EVERY single one of the raw food advocates are all under the age of 45. Not one of them are older. Where are all the older raw foodist’s? There are none. And the younger ones that claim to be raw food eaters(age 25-40) all look older than their age. And every single ...

I spoke to an eye doctor about it and he said there is nothing that can be done. So I guess it is like a birth mark. It is caused from eye strain. Possibly working out or exercising too hard.

Alissa Cohen is extremely overweight. She claims that she has been eating raw food for years. I think you new raw foodist’s show be aware that anybody who claims they eat a raw food diet daily for over a year should be thin and healthy, and NOT fat and overweight. If somebody says they eat raw food for over a year and they are fat, then they are considered to be a FRAUD. It is impossible to be fat eating fruit and vegetables. Alissa Cohen is on the right.

jasper jonns, My answer is not ”no”. My answer is ”yes”. You are wrong. Of course I would go into a wheat field and eat raw ground up wheat. It is fresh, good and uncooked. And of course I would eat a raw wheat plant. I chew on wheatgrass, so why not chew on a wheat plant. It is very healthy. Just because you don’t think it is healthy, doesn’t mean somebody else won’t. What you said makes no sense to me.   [End]
