Fresh, organic, and living foods are vital to one’s physical and mental health. Food is healing to our bodies! Raw foods contain powerful vitamins and minerals that provide our bodies with the tools it needs to regenerate and to thrive. We have all heard the phrase, “An apple a day…,” but what if we ate more than one apple? Add a banana, a smoothie, and even a salad. Can you imagine how you would feel if you filled up your day with so many fresh, colorful fruits and vegetables? Eating more fruits and veggies provides benefits such as weight loss, allergy relief, colon cleansing, acne clearing, disease prevention, cancer prevention, and sickness wipeout. We feel the difference when we eat the colors of the rainbow!
Fruits and veggies not only have physical benefits that can help to alleviate or cure sickness, but also they provide mental benefits as well. Being around colorful fruits and vegetables actually makes people feel happy. Being around vibrant colorful foods help people to feel vibrant as well! Even the smells speak to people’s senses as they interact with fresh food. Recent studies have shown that eating more fruits and vegetables can not only alleviate depression, but also reverse it. One doesn’t have to even eat them to see their benefits; their beauty is eye-candy enough to change your mood!
When we truly care for our temples (our bodies), we serve not only ourselves, but the world as a whole. No man is an island. What we do for ourselves affects everyone and everything around us. Our choices count; choose healthfully. The more colorful your plate, the better!
