Never before in history have we had so much illness attributed to the way we eat. The statistics are staggering! Finally, after years of high meat and white flour diets, the American Cancer Society is now recommending 5 to 9 serving of fruits and vegetables a day for optimal prevention of cancer.
Most Americans were not brought up on a high plant based diet. Trying to understand how to incorporate and eat so many fruits and vegetables can appear very difficult for us, even when we want to do our best.
Adopting aspects of a Raw Food diet, and the many yummy food choices, can easily solve this dilemma. The food choices are exciting, and ever sooooo healthy! With a little study and investigation, you can introduce these important foods into your daily diet, making them an exciting addition to your food plan.
