I’d like to start by saying that the contents of this article merely my opinion based on data I have read about natural health in addition to the 10+ years eating and living the way I have daily. Also, with my twice a year blood work that indicates zero deficiencies, I think this information is very valuable. It could be that it just works for me, my body type and genetics, I can’t say for certain. But, just like cigarette smoking will certainly have an affect on each one of us with various degrees of health negatives, green smoothies, I feel, definitely will affect each one of us with various degrees of health positives. Try it for yourself, after talking about it with a naturopath or other doctor initially of course.

The human body was designed to be able to heal naturally right? Why is it that so many people are becoming and staying sick? Maybe that is incorrect and the human body really isn’t equipped for natural healing? No! The problem is that people today a) don’t provide it with the correct amount of tools, usually in terms of food intake, it requires to reset itself and b) we attack it with things that hinder the function of the small amount of proper resources that we do provide it.

I’m a huge admirer of raw foods. To say that heating food over a specific temperature destroying much needed enzymes that are important for digestion makes plenty of sense to me. Further, it is indicated that to get the most out of our foods we should chew it until it’s gone. Our body has troubles digesting big chunks of food. Also, I strongly believe that humans can thrive with a a diet of mostly fruits and greens, with of course some healthy fats. For the healthy fats, avocados, soaked nuts and seeds is all I usually have.

The main foods I have every single day are composed of lots of raw fruits and green veggies in the form of green smoothies. Being that they are in a liquid state, my body has no issues assimilating the nutrients.

A giant hurdle for some people when changing the way they eat, and a huge one for me is fighting unhealthy cravings. Like someone addicted to drugs or alcohol must go through a detox so they can heal, we pretty much must to do the same thing. The cells in our body are made up of stuff from foods that we have ingested in the past. The body usually craves much of the same unhealthy foods that contribute to the makings of each one of the sick cells in our body. For drug detoxes, often times, dry sauna therapy is used to removes the drugs through perspiration. That generally helps eliminate the physical drug cravings which could allow the person a better chance of remaining sober. For us, adjusting our eating habits may very well activate the clearing of toxic foods as well which can be naturally removed in our poop, sweat and perhaps urine. However, we still might having cravings for those foods while some of the contaminants in our cells are still there.

I, myself, have found that right away after having the first swallow of my smoothie my cravings for grease, meat, salt, etc started to drop off. After I was done drinking the smoothie, the unhealthy cravings were gone completely and I would be fulfilled. The issue then was that the cravings would return as I grew hungry. So I started to make certain I was on top of it and would have another green smoothie ready and waiting before the cravings would come back, or not too long after they reared their ugly heads. The unhealthy cravings gradually subsided for good as I cleaned out my system. Afterward I started to crave greens instead!

Now, I would like to ask, do you want to stay sick and overweight or do you want to look into a better diet providing your body everything that it needs?
