Just a little bit of blogging to report some random thoughts. Last month I went camping again and this was the most exquisite experience. The ocean in Tasmania is really cold. I enjoyed bathing in the ocean nevertheless. I like the way the salty water makes my curly hair even curlier. What did I eat? I took some juicy fruit with me, watermelon and peaches, and also bananas. In my experience staying fruity when traveling is easy. It takes just a little preparation.
There seem to be contrasting opinions on this topic amongst raw food diet lovers. Some raw foodists say that greens are essential and recommend eating them daily in considerable amounts. According to a raw foodist Victoria Boutenko, “Greens contain all the essential minerals, vitamins and even amino acids that humans need for the optimal health” [2]. Victoria argues that there exists scientific evidence that greens have been a part of human diet from very early in our history. However, the evidence for humans consuming certain foods in the distant past does not necessarily indicate that those foods are essential. So, is it possible to thrive without greens?

I admit I am camera shy and I’d rather stay out of the spotlight. However, for the sake of sharing the empirical evidence that might inspire someone to change their lifestyle and gain health, I am willing to overcome my resistance. I am just a fragile human, full of imperfections, but I learned to accept my body as it was given to me. One thing I am not willing to accept – wearing it off at a rate higher than necessary. I won’t lie and say I am OK with getting older, as I love my life and if possible, would love to live forever. Nevertheless, I am aware of the fact that my time on this planet is temporary, and so I am trying to get the most of this short, precious time. How? By doing things I love and being with people I love. I need the energy to do all of that! The raw food lifestyle seems to provide me with it perfectly.

Raw food fruit-based diet is the most hydrating, nutrients-rich diet on the planet, and mono-eating on fruit is the most efficient way of improving the condition of your skin in the shortest time.

The best raw foods are freshly picked, tree or bush ripen fruit. So if you have a little space, try growing your own food! Fruit can be grown indoors in pots too. Here is a little tour of my January garden. I hope you like it.
My little friends.
Young avocado tree. No fruit on this one as yet:
There are lots of birds living on the trees around my house. They sometimes find some holes in the netting protecting my fruit trees and end up being stuck in that area. So I end up catching and releasing them. Don’t ask me how I do it, I just have some magic powers I guess. I’ve done it so many times that they probably know me well by now. I am their human mum.
If you care for a sweet raw food treat, here is one: Fruity ice-cream. Simply fold layers of blended frozen bananas and mixed berries. It’s unbelievably delicious!
Alternatively, blend frozen bananas with blueberries for a blueberry flavored ice-cream. The possibilities are endless.
How to freeze bananas? Peal the skins, break into smaller pieces for easy blending, put in a plastic bag and into a freezer for at least a day or so.
One of the delightful tasks in your raw food diet lifestyle is storing your foods. In this post I share my raw food storage solutions.
You can find piles of fruit in my kitchen. I keep my fruit on large plates, in bowls and in baskets. I buy large quantities of fruit, often by boxes. I get told by visitors that my kitchen looks like a grocery store. I guess it does!
I spend a lot of time in my office at work. As you can imagine, it is filled with fruit. Whenever I am hungry, I simply grab something. It can’t get any more convenient than this.
A few days ago I was on a camping trip at the Bay of Fires in Tasmania. In the middle of the night I got woken up by very noisy neighbors who would not stop singing for a good long while. They were a group of fairy penguins surrounding my tent. That night was magical!
In our cozy houses, away from the nature, we may easily forget about the impact that we have on other creatures and on our planet. Yet this impact on the nature is devastating. Clearly, I do not need to quote the statistics here, as these are well known.
There are ways in which we can greatly reduce that impact. One of them is by eating a raw food diet that consists of raw, ripe fruit and veggies. The benefits of this diet are immense both for our health as well as for our planet. This lifestyle, which may seem strange at first, is in fact most natural and effortless to adopt. Anyone can make a salad or pick up a fruit. Perhaps the greatest obstacle is our mind, but it is not an obstacle that we cannot overcome.
I invite you to embrace this lifestyle. With this blog I hope to inspire you to do so.
Yours truly,
Gosia
