High Raw or Raw High

People like to label things and raw foodists are no different. Theres a label right there: raw foodist. How do you get to be one of those? Purists would say you must consume only raw, living foods not heated above 118 degrees. Do that, and youre 100% raw. Or perhaps youre high raw, eating primarily a plant-based diet but still consuming some cooked foods. Are you vegan? Vegetarian? Do you eat 80-10-10 or 811rv?
It can make your head spin.
Me? I consume only fresh juice and fruit before noon and eat only raw foods prior to dinner, at which time I may have some cooked food including fish (gasp!), but I always eat my raw foods first. I average between 85-90% raw each day, so I guess that makes me high raw.
But what I really want to talk about is the raw high Ive been experiencing. Dare I say, euphoria?
Listen, if you ever even suggested to me that I might some day feel this way, I would think you were one step away from the loony bin. In fact, a few years back, I had a psychic tell me that she read my Akashic Records and saw that if I ate a diet of primarily fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, my body would thrive, find its natural weight and any and all physical ailments would vanish. Live on fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds? Right. I thought she was wackydoodle and dismissed everything she said to me.
And so, I continued on the road I was on. Burgers, fries and milkshakes were my three food groups. Grumpy, Dopey and Sneezey were my constant companions. I was obese, depressed, constantly exhausted, suffered from chronic edema, allergies, heartburn, and a slew of aches and pains.
Imagine what its like walking around all day, every day, with a 20 pound backpack strapped on, 10 pound ankle weights on each leg, and carrying a 5 pound jug of water in each arm. Hard work. Exhausting.
Now imagine what it feels like when you remove that extra 50 pounds youve been carrying around with you everywhere you go.
FREEDOM. Woo Hoo! Happyhappy, joyjoy.
Thats what I experienced yesterday. It was a picture perfect autumn day. Blue skies and 68 degrees. I set off on a short hike with my Siberian Husky, Maya...
And, heres what I began noticing: I didnt feel winded, short of breath. My heart wasnt racing. My back wasnt aching. My feet werent throbbing. I wasnt sweating like a pig. Hmmmm, thats weird.
So. I kept going...and going...and going...and going...
Ohmygosh, we hiked for over two hours. Up hills, down hills. We even ran. Not a long distance, mind you, but we ran.
Raw high: what you experience after flooding your body with live enzymes and awakening from a food-induced stupor.
Raw high: beats a sugar high, hands down.
Raw high: feeling vibrant and ALIVE.
Raw high: now available at your local farmers market.

A controlled diet can help a lot if a person is suffering from high blood pressure. Here we will discuss some common diet tips, diet plan and finally a good diet chart to help High Blood Pressure patients maintain a controlled blood pressure.

Quantity of sodium should be 2300mg per day. But if your age is above 51 years then it should be around 1500mg per day.
Always plan food items to shop. Give time to prepare the list and then stick to that list while shopping. Sometime we shop a lot of junk food if we are shopping in an unplanned manner.

Low Carb High Fat Diet Spicy Cumin Cheddar Crackers
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 45 mins | Total: 1 hr | Servings:4
| A while back, I created a hazelnut-parmesan cracker recipe. Not only did it completely blow my mind, in terms of how satisfying the taste and texture was, but it was also enormously popular out on the internets social super highway. It really felt like a big personal "win", in that it was something that didnt feel like a sub-par replacement. It was the real deal. It was everything I could ever want in a cracker, but with none of the downside! A near perfect food! However, it DID have its flaws. While it was amazing with things like artichoke-pesto dip, not pistou and other Italian spirited dips and sauces, it somehow fell flat within Latin realm. This left things like Salsa Mexicana sitting without a perfect companion; sin un amigo. Sure, Ive got things like the baked tortilla chips, but this starts with a processed ingredient, which turns some people off (even though equally as many enjoy the ease of such a thing). Additionally, its got wheat, which is a definitely no-no in many health related circles. In response to those issues, I would often suggest people fry up cheddar cheese and then break it into dip-friendly shards. This seemed to be a satisfactory answer, but ... its still not a chip. Some dips just need a chip. Knowing I needed to do something, I kept trying to use various corn products to come up with something like a corn tortilla chip. This all resulted in pure botched failure and frustration. The tastes were all solid, but the texture was wrong, or the carb count was too high. There was never a perfect moment. Finally, after a request from my own mother (she wanted something to dip into guacamole), I revisited the hazelnut-parmesan cracker. I used that same approach, but with a different nut and seasoning blend. The end result? A more Latin vibed cracker. To verify, I made some salsa and tried it. DELICIOUS! I can only imagine something like a hot gooey cheddar and jalapeƱo dip! (*** drools on shirt ***) In the end, my search for the perfect tortilla chip replacement continues. I dont want to downplay how wonderful these crackers are. The texture and flavor cannot be beat; alas they are crackers ... they are not a chip. Some dips just need a chip.
