Achieving Optimum Good Looks and
Beauty via a Raw and Living Foods Diet

Partial beauty, fading beauty, decaying beauty; these are but the expressions of partial, fading or decaying health. They represent unsatisfactory and painful states of existence. Beauty belongs to glowing health and perfection of organization. It is impossible for us to separate these ideals...from Return to Perfection by Dr. Herbert M. Shelton.

There is a definite correlation between the food we put in our body and how we look.

Look at the most visible practioners of the raw food lifestyle, models and celebrities like Carol Alt and Demi Moore..

Then look at the Before and After Photos of the many individuals who have also embraced the raw and living food lifestyle.

It becomes obvious that eating raw has a profoundly beneficial effect on virtually everyone's appearance.

It is our belief, and the belief of who follow a live food lifetstyle, that persons who regularly ingest MOSTLY raw and living foods will not only maintain a state of natural good health throughout their lives, but will also retain their natural state of radiant good looks and beauty as well.

 

Here are some articles and books
which corraborate these beliefs.

Demi Goes Full Throttle for Raw Rejuvenation "... How is it that 40-year old Demi Moore makes a Hollywood comeback with a roll in which she bares almost all in a bikini next to 20-something actresses and looks just as good, if not better! Complaints have been circulating that Demi stole the show from the "stars" of the much-hyped Charlie's Angels sequel "Full Throttle". Demi's secret? The raw food diet!... the diet doesn't contain toxins, but it is also extremely nutrient dense. In heated foods almost all of the nutrients are destroyed or damaged. So when you eat an all-raw diet you are getting 1000's of times more nutrients than you would otherwise get! This very natural diet is what we'd all be eating if we weren't in "civilization" anway! So it makes a person seem supernaturally young, beautiful, fit, healthy, glowing, vital and energetic - as in the case of Demi Moore. But you have to realize that this is our natural state. Demi should be the norm for a 40-year young woman. We're now just comparing her to a society that is radically un-natural and unhealthy, where we eat about 90-100% cooked and processed (denatured) foods.... New scientific studies show that we should be living until at least 160 years of age...."

Raw Food Diet "...Photos of a svelte over 40 Demi Moore have generated a buzz around the country about a hot diet trend she adheres to – a raw food diet. Reportedly, Woody Harrelson, Sting, and Donna Karan are also devoted raw fans ..."

In the Raw: Boosted by Celebrity Endorsements, the Raw-Foods Movement is Migrating from the Margins to the Mainstream. Is it Really Good for You? "... By the mid 1990s, Carol Alt had established herself as both a supermodel and a successful actress, appearing regularly on movie screens and magazine covers. But while her career was soaring, Alt says her health had taken a nosedive. She had recurring headaches, heartburn, sinus problems and insomnia. By the age of 34, she was starting most days with coffee and a splash of Scotch, ending them with a dose of Nyquil, and popping pain relievers and antacid tablets in between. “I was on my knees at one point, praying to God. I felt so bad, and I was so unhappy,” recalls Alt. Then a friend called to tell her how a doctor had miraculously “cured” his girlfriend who’d been diagnosed with cervical cancer, by putting her on a diet comprised largely of raw foods (meaning they have not been cooked above 118 degrees), fresh juices and supplements. Alt flew to California to meet with the doctor. Within weeks of replacing her usual meal choices with uncooked and unprocessed organic vegetables, fruits and nuts, she says her headaches disappeared, her mood improved and her sinuses cleared up. She stopped drinking Scotch-and-coffee and has stuck to the raw foods diet ever since. “In more than eight and a half years, I have not gotten sick, and I have not put any over-the-counter medicines into my body,” says Alt, now 44. “ I am actually in better shape now than I was at 34.” Alt touts the benefits of the raw-foods diet in her book, Eating in the Raw: A Beginner's Guide to Getting Slimmer, Feeling Healthier, and Looking Younger the Raw-Food Way published by Clarkson Potter earlier this year. But the former cover girl is just the latest in a long line of celebrities to embrace the raw-food regimen. Once associated with hippies and health fanatics, the movement has slowly meandered into the mainstream, thanks in part to growing concerns about obesity, the endorsements of telegenic actors like Woody Harrelson, who published a 400-page book called Living Cuisine: The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods (Avery Health Guides) a little over a year ago and celebrity chefs who have begun incorporating raw foods into their regular menus. Well-known chefs Charlie Trotter, whose eponymous upscale restaurant in Chicago offers raw-food options, and Roxanne Klein have even coauthored a gourmet recipe book called Raw CLICK HERE to continue this Newsweek Health story reported on MSNBC.com Supermodel Carol Alt Loves Raw Foods Transcript of interview will Bill Mahrer where Carol declares her love of raw food. Visit Carol Alt's website "... before she started eating raw, Carol was not feeling her best and people told her to accept it as part of the aging process. She seemed to suffer with problems ranging from acid indigestion to headaches. Her sinuses were a mess and the thoughts of cold and flue plagued her constantly. Like most people who suffer with these chronic conditions, she would pop a pill and be on her way, waiting for the next bout. Carol Alt began eating raw around the age of 32 and all those health concerns cleared up immediately. Since then she has embraced the raw food lifestyle, she rarely if ever gets sick. She looks younger, has more energy and is more radiant than she has ever been and she attrabutes this to her Raw Lifestyle...."

Make Mine Raw "... Many who seek out this cuisine are in search of the effects (or lack thereof) of raw foods. "Fueling the trend are increasing concerns with health, aging and beauty," says Rodwell. "While the rate of obesity is increasing, it is very hard to get fat on a raw food diet. Most people will lose quite a bit by going raw." It also helps a bit that Hollywood has jumped on the raw food bandwagon; notable rawfooders include Demi Moore, Alicia Silverstone and Angela Basset. "Baby Boomers are also seeking to stay forever young and a raw food diet helps," says Rodwell...."
