The mind, body, spirit connection that raw food cultivates within you is ultimately the major reason for continuing on this path. The bible says that the body is the temple of the soul. The mind, body, spirit connection that raw food cultivates within you is ultimately the major reason for continuing on this path. The bible says that the body is the temple of the soul. Unfortunately, I used to treat my body like an amusement park! Now I know better. Since we are what we eat, if we eat the best food ever we maximize our mind, body, and spiritual connection with nature and our creator. This is experiential because we cannot miss what we never had. Raw-food nutrition returns to you lost powers and abilities. I like to say that it bestows superhuman abilities - especially in physical endurance, clarity of thought, and sixth sense perception. David Wolfe - from davidwolfe.com - see his online store: ~ ~ ~ ~ Although the raw-food diet isn't new, the fervor surrounding it has grown recently, dietitians and organic dealers said. David Wolfe and Thor Bazler, the founders of Sunfood Nutrition. said they knew they'd made it when Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, was one of their first 10 customers. A number of celebrities tout the importance of raw eating. Wolfe has worked with celebrities like Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone and Angela Basset, all raw foodies.  > from article : Raw-food fervor starting to sprout - By Sarah Skidmore, Union-Tribune, June 14, 2005 > photo by Toshiyuki Aizawa/Reuters

David Wolfe : Well I work with a lot of celebrities behind the scenes and a screenwriter in Hollywood, and I think that what is happening is there's a buzz in Hollywood about raw food. And why is that? Because your skin glows. You feel great, you feel light. You don't have all the intestinal discomfort. That's really important when you're in Hollywood because you've got to have that edge. I met with Angela Bassett the other day. What a beautiful woman. She's been on a raw food diet now I think about two years. And I thought she looked 30 years younger than she is. I couldn't believe it...

Gwyneth Paltrow on taking control of her diet This actually came in stages. I stopped eating meat when I was 21. And then, when I was about 26 or 27, I got terrible flus five times in a row. And I thought, I'm definitely doing something wrong. So I asked my yoga teacher, who put me in touch with this fantastic nutritionist. She basically told me to cut out dairy, wheat, and coffee, and add lots of greens, juices, fish, and other grains. I did, and I could sense the change almost immediately. Then my teacher introduced me to macrobiotics, and to this day, I've never really gotten sick like that again.

Raw food seemed tailor-made for someone like former supermodel Carol Alt. “My weight maintains itself. Sometimes I actually have to eat a little more to put weight on,” says Alt. “When I was modeling, if I would have known that, I mean, what a freedom that would have been.” Alt says before she went raw seven years ago, she was constantly sick and tired. But after switching to an all raw diet, she says, “I’ve never had a headache, never taken another aspirin, never taken another Tums, never had another sinus infection.” > from article Heavy Burden: Eat It Raw [CBS News]

Ray Kurzweil, Terry Grossman. Fantastic Voyage : Live Long Enough to Live Forever
The idea.. is that if you can make it through the next 50 years, you might become immortal... this book is full of diet and lifestyle tips. For instance, the authors suggest carefully controlling the body's overall pH at an alkaline level, meditating, eating a diet composed mostly of vegetables and protein, and taking loads of supplements... it seems likely that most who are able to follow this regimen will be Americans of a fairly high socioeconomic class.
