I made a discovery the other day while watching TV.
I know, pretty astounding.
Anyway, I came across one of those hour-long presentations on space exploration. Those shows are always so fascinating to me and I like to watch them from time to time.
However, each time I try to watch one of these documentaries, I always end up changing the channel in just a few minutes time.

Raw Food Potlucks For A Raw Treat |
|
Now, most of you reading this article may say to themselves, raw food potlucks? Who on earth, where on earth, or maybe even, "why on earth" would you go to one of those? Well, to answer the last question, just do some reading on the benefits of raw food, and you'll gain some understanding on the benefits of raw food. To answer the first two questions, many people who know lots about raw foods and how to prepare them have these potlucks, and it's a great way to get to know some like minded people, and eat raw food ranging from the simple to the adventurous!
If you are interested in this at all, I encourage you to type the words "raw food potluck (your city)" into the google search engine, and see if there's anything near you. I think there are a fair amount of them out there, but if there's not one in your area, you could always start one of your own. Just invite at least 2 other people, and have them bring something totally raw, put on some nice music, and get a raw book or two from the library, or have a speaker come in, and have a great, healthy night gorging on raw food!

Raw foods are only raw if they're un-processed, un-altered, and un-cooked. Raw food dieters typically eschew canned, packaged, or man-made foods because they're very bad for you.
Raw vegetables, greens, and fruits are the healthiest things you can put into your body. They provide lasting, long-term, body energy unlike coffee that hits us with a jolt, a buzz, or a wired feeling. Raw plant foods are complex carbohydrates. When we eat them, the sugar is released slowly into our bloodstream so that there are no blood sugar imbalances. With cookies, candy, sweets, and soft drinks, there can be a super high and a mega low that follows. Raw fruits even hydrate us better than water in the hot sun. Day laborers prefer watermelon, cucumber, and oranges because of the high water content, sodium, and fruit sugar.
