Longevity NOW Program Creator’s David Wolfe New Video About Discipline.

Organic foods have been shown to improve your immune system, help you sleep better, shed the excess weight much easier, and even improve your blood work just to name a few.  Organic food can boast intense, realistic flavors, and a much higher vitamin and mineral content, as much as 10x greater. As nature intended!

Why?

Organic food is food that is free from all genetically modified organisms, produced without artificial pesticides and fertilizers and derived from an animal reared without the routine use of antibiotics, growth promoters or other drugs. I can easily remember when organic foods were only available in small stores or farmers’ markets. Now, organic foods are becoming much more widely available to everyone. The local grocery store even has a few organic items, these days.

Even though it is blatantly obvious, we all should be choosing to eat organic foods… It is all to easy, to blame the high cost, as a reason not to go the organic route. This is flawed thinking… As avoiding foods being treated with pesticides, hormones and who knows what else, lead to much higher doctor bills, in the future. The cost of foods that haven’t been treated with all that crap, yes, do cost a bit more… But are completely worth it. Don’t kid yourself!

It’s truly amazing that food treated with these dangerous chemicals are even sold. When you consider just some of the the harmful effects. Pesticides used by farmers can cause, neurotoxicity, disruption of your endocrine system, carcinogenicity and immune system suppression. Pesticide exposure may also affect male reproductive function and has been linked to miscarriages in women.

Besides all the health benefits of switching to organic foods, you will also be supporting an industry dedicated to protecting the environment. And, keeping it local, is an even better idea.

Imagine you have discovered the most incredible secret formula that has completely transformed you. You are now at your ideal weight. Your hair is thick, your skin soft and smooth. You have recovered the vitality and energy levels of your youth, and you don’t recall feeling such mental clarity and bliss since pre-adolescence. Your body heals itself of all disease, even minor ailments such as athlete’s foot, acne, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), constipation and allergies. You feel alive, in the zone, in the flow. You have discovered the magical formula, the fountain of youth.

Well, such a formula does exist. Only it is not a pill, potion, drug or lotion. It is simply a return to man’s original diet: raw, natural, basic food - the lost art of non-cooking, just eating food in its natural state.

Many who have tried the raw food diet feel such a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual shift, indeed, such a radical transformation, that they find it easy to believe that the "fall from grace" referred to in the mythology of numerous cultures arose from the cooking of food.

There was a time, eons ago, which most ancient cultures spoke of, when people lived in harmony with nature and in tune with many of our untapped mental abilities, living in peace with all other creatures. Could the end of these times have resulted from the invention of widespread food cooking, thus damaging the fuel we depend on for our optimal health and well-being?

In some traditions, heavenly images include a garden of paradise, abundant with luscious fruit, whereas the image of hell is one of fire and brimstone.

Perhaps we don’t have to wait until the afterlife to experience these states. Could it be that those archetypes were generated from earthly observations? Eat a diet of fruit and other botanical abundance from the garden, and you’ll have "heaven on earth." Eat a diet prepared over fire, and you’ll manifest hell on earth!

When God threw Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, he said to Eve, "I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children" (Genesis 3:16).

Interestingly, women on raw food diets do not experience nearly as much pain in childbirth, and often their menstrual bleeding is scanty to nonexistent and painless. Could it be that Adam’s and Eve’s legendary fall from the Garden of Eden was not from eating the apple, but rather from cooking it?

We are told that Homo erectus, who may have been the first to tend fires on a regular basis, first appeared on Earth about 1,800,000 years ago. For those of you who think we should have adapted to cooked foods by now, author Severen L. Schaeffer presents an excellent analogy: "If we were to imagine the course of evolution as a road 25 miles long, men would be coming into existence only 70 yards from the end, the discovery of cooking 25 feet from the end, and the development of agriculture about five inches before our time. Coca-Cola would appear roughly 1/200th of an inch into the past."

Truly, the vast majority of our evolution as humans has been spent eating food in its pure, natural, whole state - unheated, unprocessed, unsprayed with chemicals. You still may think, "Well, couldn’t we have adapted by now?"

If we have only been cooking for ten to twenty thousand years, it would be impossible to have genetically adapted so quickly to these chemical changes in the food, which will be discussed 1ff8 in more detail in Section Two. Widespread genetic changes of significance need a million or several million years to occur.

The use of fire for cooking may have begun roughly 400,000 years ago. Agriculture and cattle ranching, with the consequent consumption of grains and dairy, began only about 10,000-20,000 years ago. The widespread use of cooking began about the same time, although it has only been within the past century that such a large percentage of cooked food has been consumed - for some, 95-100% of the diet.

The belief that early paleolithic man routinely cooked his food is incorrect. Anthropologist Dr. Vaughn Bryant studied the fossilized excrement of early paleolithic people and concluded they were primarily raw food eaters and, from studying the skeletons, that they were in excellent health. Thus, it appears that cooking became customary only after the Stone Ages.

Why did man start to cook? There are many theories. Some anthropologists suggest that as man migrated to colder climates, the only way he could eat the frozen food he found was to thaw it out with fire. Since then, cooking has become an art form and is now thought to be a near necessity.

Culinary arts have been a part of virtually every historical culture, dating back thousands of years. Every country’s inhabitants have generated recipes that swell their pride, just as they are proud of creativity in the literary or musical arts.

Now I am going to suggest something very radical. Maybe cooking is not only unnecessary, but also deadly. Could this be one case in which creativity is not progress and in fact is sending people to premature deaths? You may think, "Well, my grandfather ate cooked food and lived to be 100." What if our natural life span is much greater than 100? And what if we have the potential to be very, very healthy even as we get closer to the end of our lives?

A diet of raw, living food is not just another weight-loss diet. This is about energy transferred from the sun to the food to your body. This is about the life force and the enzymes in the food nourishing your body - hence the terms "living food" and "live food," often used to describe uncooked food in its pure, original state. If merely giving up the heating of food could transform your health and well-being, extend your life and youth, and raise you to a level of health you never even envisioned, wouldn’t you gladly throw out the pots and pans?

Healthy Living Tips and Tricks

Do you have a healthy lifestyle? Is healthy living really that important? Is this something you need to be concerned about? Find out here… 

Healthy living

It seems that everyone is concerned with healthy living these days. This is a good thing; it is important to be concerned with your health and to look for better strategies to improve your life. On the other hand, it also seems like everyone has a quick solution for healthy living, for a hefty fee of course. It seems at times that you can’t turn on the television or open a magazine without seeing a celebrity or doctor trying to get you to buy their new book detailing the latest miracle diet that will change your life, whether it is fresh ground wheat grass or a daily tin of Brazil nuts. The reality is that these diets are unnecessary. Healthy living is available to everyone, and does not depend on buying the latest diet book or the most expensive vitamins. All that you need to do is to start making healthy decisions.

How to eat healthy

The most important facet of your life that you need to change as you move towards healthy living is to start eating nutritious foods. Do not try to follow a trendy diet, just eat a balanced diet of nutritious foods. When you eat well, you lower your risk of many health problems such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain kinds of cancer and osteoporosis. You will also give yourself more energy, allowing you to enjoy life again.

The most important group of foods, and the one that is most often the cause of poor diets, is fruit and vegetables. There is nothing particularly innovative about this advice; everyone knows that you need to eat your fruit and vegetables. The main problem is that so few people actually consume the seven to ten daily servings of fruits and vegetables they are supposed to have each day. And when they do eat fruit and vegetables, it is in forms that include added sugar, salt or fat.

The food group that we all eat too much of is meat. Try to limit your meat intake, and emphasize meat alternatives for your protein needs. While you definitely need meat or an alternative for the protein, most people eat far too much from this food group. You will be surprised at how little is actually required to get you through the day.

Get active

Once you have started eating well, it is time to go out and get some physical activity! Now, this does not mean that you have to incorporate a rigorous physical workout into your daily routine. Just including small amounts of physical activity in your life will make a difference. So take the stairs instead of the escalator, or walk to the corner store instead of driving four blocks. Start slowly and incorporate more physical activity into your life, and you will be amazed at how quickly the results will add up.

Have fun

The final component of healthy living is to have a healthy mind. Build up a strong peer group who will give you the social support you need to be truly happy. This will reduce your stress, which will only lead to a healthier body.

Proven Health, Fitness and Longevity Solutions for the Body and Mind - Part 3

How do you know when you’ve had "enough" water? When your urine is clear enough to read through. Which of the following is most important to determine if you’re aging well? Your blood pressure (having hypertension). Elevated blood pressure can take as much as 10 years off your life!

How do you know when you’ve had "enough" water? When your urine is clear enough to read through. The purpose of urine is to get rid of waste, like nitrogen, proteins, etc. When the urine is clear, that means you’ve had enough fluid for that day to wash it all out of your system. When it’s not clear, it means that urine is a bit too "concentrated" and you’ll need more water to "dilute" it.

Remember, water does more than just flush waste out of your system. It allows chemicals reactions in your body, gives nutrients to all your cells and gives your body energy. Dehydration is one major reason people feel sluggish all the time.

The more water you drink, the more salt your body needs to help absorb the water, or else you’re running to the bathroom all the time. But don’t add in regular table salt - that will just bloat you. What you want is sea salt - something like Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Sea Salt is best. The amount of water you drink is also dependant on your body weight, amount of food you eat, types of food, if you exercised that day, etc. A very general rule of thumb is to have half your body weight in ounces. So, if you’re a 150 lbs person, 75 oz. of daily purified water is good. And remember coffee, juice, tea and soda’s do not count. They actually require you to drink even more water, due to the acid content and caffeine.

Which of the following is most important to determine if you’re aging well? Your blood pressure (having hypertension). While many people worry about their weight and cholesterol levels (both contributing to accelerated aging), your blood pressure is actually the most important measure of your health - directly and indirectly. Now, allow me to give you a simple analogy so you can better understand this. When there is a hole in your wall, you would use plaster to fix it and cover it up, correct? Similar thing in the body… When one of your arteries has a hole, your body quickly uses cholesterol to repair it, "fill in the hole" and cover it up. Follow me so far? But the question is, what caused the hole in the arteries to begin with? The answer is, high blood pressure (also known as Hypertension)! Basically, when you’re unhealthy, your arteries start to decay (unhealthy foods and high insulin levels are big reasons) and become thin in certain spots.

Eventually, high blood pressure adds excess stress to the heart and just "blows a hole" in the decaying arteries. So, try to keep your blood pressure at optimal levels, around 120 over 80. Now, did you know that elevated blood pressure can take as much as 10 years off your life! So, reduce your stress, eat healthy, lower your caffeine and table salt intake, and make sure you get exercise - 60 minutes a week is all that’s needed to make a big difference (that’s not much to ask, is it?)

David Wolfe On Future Plans, Sungazing, And Elements For Life

Lenette: So what does the rest of 2009 hold for David Wolfe, personally or professionally?

David: Oh, it’s going to be a big year. It’s going to be a big year. I start out in South Florida on April 6th and I’m going to be on the road…this is after I come back from Peru, so the whole month of March I’ll be in Peru. April 6th I’ll be in South Florida and I’ll come up the entire East Coast of the United States, fly over to Los Angeles, go up the entire West Coast of the United States, come back down again and do a couple of jaunts around…I might even make it to Salt Lake City and possibly even Chicago by the summer?

Lenette: Possibly?

David: Yeah, I know. I’d like to get there sooner but it’s just a busy schedule. But we’re looking at, already, 100 events booked for the whole year, but it could potentially go to like 150 or even 200 events this year. It’s possible.

Lenette: And these events are all in the name of the book, like a book tour or what else are these events going to be about?

David: They’re pretty much about everything. It’s about "Save your town now!" [laughing] When we used to drive around in our bus, we would have these conversations at the end of the event and it was like, "What are we doing here?" We’re in this little town, wherever it was, some place in Kansas and basically we’re having a town hall meeting on how to save yourself and save your town. That’s the fundamental message. That’s pretty much what we’re talking about. What is the technology that’s out there that you can access immediately to save yourself and save your town? Superfoods and raw foods is one of the easiest buttons to push to get there.

Lenette: What percentage of your diet is comprised of superfoods now?

David: It’s probably 75%.

Lenette: Is there a ceiling limit that you would recommend for people?

David: That would be completely absurd for me to try to even guess. I don’t know. This is what I believe that everyone should explore. That is, raw foods, all of them, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, seaweed, sprouts, grasses, herbs and superfoods and, of course, fermented foods…explore all of that in-depth. Do the 60-day juice fast. Do the water fast. Do the things you need to do including eating copious amounts of vegetables on these giant salads. And you’re going, "How come I’m not full? I’m eating massive amounts of vegetables and all this food but I’m still not full." Go through all of that process and start to refine your diet down by volume by increasing the amount of superfoods that are in your diet from, say, one superfood smoothie a day to two and then eventually to three. When I first did that I actually did the three-month liquid blended fast on just cacao drinks and that was totally, totally amazing. That was years ago. I had already been a raw foodist for ten years at that point maybe.

Lenette: That’s awesome. It just puts some new ideas in my head. I always like trying out new things with the diet.

Lenette: Thank you so much, David. This has been awesome. Is there anything else you want to share with us?

David: I just hope that everybody out there is having the best day ever. I wanted to share a little bit about sungazing because this has been in the field now for quite some time, probably eight to ten years in the raw food world. I’ve been doing something up here at my house that I haven’t been able to do. I wasn’t able to really calibrate it very well. I’ve been sungazing outside on the snow barefoot and I have been calibrating what that’s all about and what the effectiveness of it is. It’s pretty darn powerful, I have to say. Sungazing barefoot on the snow at the end of the day. It’s something to do with this idea that if you’re out on wet grass and you’re sungazing, the energy that comes in through your eyes is pulled right through you through the wet of the grass and it goes right back into the Earth. I always wanted to sungaze on a dry surface like stone, and when I sungaze on snow, once I melt into the snow and I’m totally solid on my feet, then there’s a similar effect to being on stone. That’s something I’ve been playing around with and it’s really been interesting. I’ve been trying to calibrate what the limits of sungazing are and apparently in any condition, even in the snow, it’s totally perfect.

Lenette: Yeah, I gotta find a way [to do this in Chicago]. Maybe I could get on my roof. I just want to say I’m really grateful to be on the same team that you’re on and all the joys. I usually like telling people I’m working on a national project with David Wolfe and that seems like the most fun way to say it. I don’t think I would have gotten this opportunity if it hadn’t been for being in Elements for Life. I can’t say that if this opportunity is calling you that you will get a chance to talk to David Wolfe one-on-one but if you work this business hard and hold it in your vision to hang out with David Wolfe and hang out with all the Elements for Life leaders and go to retreats with us, that could happen. That possibility is there. David, I remember you saying so many people have asked you, "How can I work for you? How can I work with you?" and you’ve had to turn everyone down saying, "There’s only so many people I can hire, guys!" and this is the only channel now for anybody to work alongside you and to meet you.

David: It’s such a gift. You know, I’ve been involved in Elements for Life for five or six years. It’s been a long time. Finally, it’s got a whole thing going. It’s got a lot of traction, a lot of momentum and it solves that issue at every event that I do where there are people in the audience where they go, "This whole angle of nutrition makes sense to me. This is what I want to do for my career. I want to turn all my people onto it." Elements for Life is that opportunity that delivers those people to what their goal is. It’s totally amazing to have that in the cornucopia of what is being offered every night at an event. A lot of times five or more people come to me and say, "How do I get these things to my massage therapist friends? How do I get this to my chiropractor friends? I want to get in this as a business." Now I can go, "Here. Here’s how you do it." Turnkey. And Elements for Life has provided that opportunity. It’s awesome.

Turn Off Your Stove

Humans suffer from a myriad of health problems, the frequency of which increases as we age. We tend to say, "It’s just a part of getting older," and medicate the symptoms. However, it is now becoming increasingly evident that the key to our health lies in what we are eating and that the path to better health and longer life lies in eating living foods.

You may have heard the terms "live food", "living food", or "raw food". The question is, do you know what they mean? Eating all raw food is exactly as it sounds - it is eating food that has not been heated or altered in any way. This way of eating is not a diet, not a temporary means of accomplishing a specific goal such as weight loss. This way of eating is a lifestyle and it is a lifestyle that is gaining momentum and scientific support all over the world.

Why living foods? Think about it this way. Why do we eat? If you answered to feed your body, you are right. We eat to nourish the cells in our bodies so that they can perform the functions needed to keep our bodies alive. These cells are living things and we need to feed living things with living food. However, when we cook food, we kill it. The heating process of cooking chemically alters the food and destroys the enzymes needed by our bodies to aid in the digestion of the food. How can our cells live off of this?

When the enzymes in our food are destroyed, our bodies must compensate by using its own enzymes to help in the digestion process, taking up energy and vital resources that are needed elsewhere. The concentration of enzymes in an elderly person’s body is approximately 30% less than that of a young adult. This means, we are depleting our resources. The body has a more difficult time handling the cooked food and the digestion process slows down. What should ideally take 4 hours, can take up to 4 days. When our bodies are working so hard to constantly process and rid itself of the cooked food, it has fewer resources and less energy to focus on ridding the body of other foreign material such as the viruses and bacteria that make us sick.

When we cook food we also kill the vitamins and alter the minerals that our bodies need to function properly. While it is easy to think that you might feel hungry eating only living food, once you begin the cleansing process within your body, it will be better able to absorb the readily available nutrients from the raw food. Also, because living food is so nutritionally dense, we need to eat far less of it to get the same nutritional value that we get from cooked food. Eating living foods leaves a person feeling more satisfied and far more energetic.

No other animal on earth cooks its food. This is really a profound concept. There is no other animal, no other creature on earth that is as ill, out of shape, and overweight as humans are. Even the ones who live in the city environment, breathes the same polluted air as we do, and suffers the stresses created by humans do not suffer ill health the way humans do. Humans tend to want to improve upon nature, but nature was doing a fine job long before humans entered the scene. When eating all living foods, it is like saying, "I trust that nature has provided what my body needs in its entirety." In other words, nature knows what it is doing.

What about cravings? Many people believe we have cravings because there is something in the food our bodies are lacking. While this is true some of the time, much of our cravings for cooked foods comes from the fact that cooked foods are an addiction. Many people are physically and psychologically addicted to it and, as with any other addiction, it is hard to quit. There are many resources available that can help you get through the cravings and withdrawal from cooked food. A primary resource is Victoria Boutenko’s 12 Steps to Raw Foods. And if you think you’ll have to give up chocolate when eating living foods, you will be pleasantly surprised. Raw chocolate is not only delicious, it’s healthy too.

There is mounting evidence to suggest that eating raw food diet, which will detoxify and purify the system, can eradicate many diseases, cure obesity, slow the aging process, and extend the lifespan of humans. Two wonderful resources on the living food diet are David Wolfe’s books The Sunfood Diet Success System and Eating for Beauty. You may be sitting there saying, "But I have eaten cooked food all of my life and I’m perfectly healthy." The question you need to ask yourself is, "What am I comparing my level of health to?" After all, nearly everyone around you eats cooked food too and just because something is the norm, that doesn’t mean it is healthy.

Raw Food: Is It Always Better?

It is no surprise that the Raw Foodism has taken the health field by storm over the past few years.

Raw Food Recipes 

Consuming raw foods is natural. Our bodies respond very well to all that is fresh and vital and thrive when consuming these types of food. 

Raw Food Treatment For Cancer 

In the quest for a remedy for cancer, researches have stumbled upon the theory that raw unprocessed foods can be highly effective in the cure for cancer. 

What is Raw Foodism?

Therefore, the people who follow a raw food diet will largely eat uncooked food. These individuals also eat unprocessed food or organic foods. Usually eighty per cent of the raw food diet is commonly consumed its natural state.

David Wolfe Shares Highlights Of His New Book: Superfoods: Food And Medicine Of The Future

Lenette: So, what was your biggest discovery in the research of your newest book, "Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future"?

David: I think it has to do with phycocyanin, the blue pigment that’s in Spirulina and blue-green algae. The research that I stumbled across when I was researching that part of the book was completely mind-bending. Basically what the blue pigment does is ramp up all your stem cell production, so if you take something like blue-green algae or an extract of it like these phycocyanin products that are out there right now, even a few that are made out of Spirulina, and then you take something that’s really strong in building your immune system, like medicinal mushrooms, and you do that as a one-two punch, it’s really powerful how quickly you can ramp up your immune response. I think that was one of the things that I kind of stumbled across and then I was just playing with it, and it just became an awesome adjunct to what I am doing. It’s just amazing.

Lenette: Wow. So you’re combining the two now? When you’re taking one, you’re taking the other?

David:Right. Exactly. And the reason why is because phycocyanin, the blue pigments of algae, is the original pigment that was on the Earth a billion years ago or however many billion years ago algae were dominating the Earth. The Sun was actually putting out most of its energy in the blue spectrum instead of the green, and therefore the plants were blue. Algae was blue. There are still residues of those blue pigments. If you look into nature and you look closely, you’ll see it. When you take in those blue pigments, instead of having that effect of rebuilding your blood like chlorophyll does, this has an effect of rebuilding your stem cells or rejuvenating you. If you couple that with something like medicinal mushrooms, like Reishi mushroom and its ability to rebuild your immune system, you have this ejection of stem cell colonies out of the bone marrow, and those get turned into immune system weapon cells like N-K cells, T-fighter cells, macrophages. All those things can be formed out of the stem cells and it can cause a huge jump in your immunity. It’s really powerful.

Sounds like a little [science] discovery, right? I’m so into superfoods. It’s my genre, but I take for granted some of the simpler things like the power of marine phytoplankton and just what that is alone is totally ridiculous. We went off on a little tangent, but I could go off on a lot of things that came up from this book.

Lenette: Awesome. What chapter are you most proud of in the book?

David:Oh, that’s a good question. I’ll tell you what I really liked finding. I liked finding, in the Marine Phytoplankton chapter, there’s a whole section on how marine phytoplankton form sulfur, and then the sulfur gets evaporated up into the atmosphere and forms clouds. That’s how the marine phytoplankton protects itself in the summertime from being over-oxidized. That little section of that chapter was really, really interesting. Let me give you another analogy to that. As spring comes in, the trees will put leaves on to block the sun so that it doesn’t overheat the ground, it doesn’t burn the tree or the bark up. The way that algae does it in the ocean, or phytoplankton or microalgae, is it will actually release sulfur, secrete sulfur, into the ocean water and then that goes up and forms clouds that protect the algae in the middle of the summer to protect the algae from being hit by too much radiation. It’s a very interesting cycle, and that was all figured out in the last 50 years. It’s a closed cycle, meaning the stronger the radiation, the more sulfur the microalgae will release and the more that will protect the oceans from excessive sunlight or radiation. That is the basis of our entire weather system on the whole planet.

Lenette: Wow. In hearing the benefits and properties in marine phytoplankton, I have never heard sulphur. But it actually does have sulfur in it? So it’s good for hair, skin and nails?

David:Yes. Just like Spirulina and blue-green algae to a significant degree as well are really rich in sulphur. So is hemp seed. There’s another little trick in there. If you take something like MSM and you mix it with marine phytoplankton, there’s a very interesting synergy there. MSM, or sulfur, comes into existence in algae as a substance called DMS. It’s oxidized into a substance called DMSO and then evaporates off into the clouds.

Lenette: What is your longer definition of "superfoods" now and how has it really evolved for you in the past decade?

David:One of the things about superfoods is that they are plant-based so that they are controllable in terms of contamination. Animal foods; we don’t know what kind of water those animals are drinking. We have no idea what kind of conditions they’re in. I knock out things like salmon, or things that are thrown into the category of superfoods as superficial. We go to something that’s a plant. We go to something that is both a food and a medicine, so it has medicinal/herbal components. It also has food/caloric component. We also go to food that has 20 different tricks under its sleeve, not just two or three like a regular raw food would have. A good example of that is the Goji berry. Goji berry has its medicinal side which is like polysaccharide content of its sugars. Anywhere from 35-50% of the total sugar of the Goji berry is actually a very long-chain sugar that has very powerful immune system qualities. The other side of the Goji berry is it’s nutritive. It’s a complete protein source so it’s actually like fuel and it has good calorie value. If we go deeper, we find it’s a secretagogue. It helps to release Human Growth Hormone; it’s the only food to ever be shown to do that. It’s one of the highest antioxidant foods in the world. It contains substances which flip around the aging process, that help us produce more hormones, not just human growth hormones, but all hormones. It just goes on like that. We could continue to look at that. Spinach doesn’t have all that. Spinach is just like one thing, or broccoli. People say, "How come you don’t talk about broccoli?" and it’s like, "Where were you those 10 years I was talking about broccoli?"

Lenette: What are a few of the superfoods covered in your book that might be new even to people who already incorporate superfoods into their lifestyle?

David: Why don’t I just give a general list of them all? Some people are new to the information. Goji berry, Cacao-raw chocolate, maca, blue-green algae, Spirulina, marine phytoplankton, Chlorella, bee pollen, honey, propylis, royal jelly, yacon root products, Noni, Aloe vera, kelp, hemp seed, Acai, camu camu berry. That’s about it. A good rundown of some of the superfoods in that book that are covered pretty in-depth.

Lenette: There’s nothing in it coming from left field or right field. Those all seem pretty familiar to me. I know you’ve talked about a lot of those.

David: If you’re into live food and you’ve been paying attention to what’s going on, then it will fit right in to what you’ve been hearing about. There’s nothing completely out of left field in there.

Lenette: It seems like so many of these superfoods work synergistically with each other. Is there a way that you have laid it out, or is there an easy way for us to remember what to take with what else?

David: I kind of represent the antithesis of the food-combining theory. What I actually recommend is that you play around with the stuff with total fun and joy in your heart. Just play around with it the way you played around with food when you were a kid. Then you find out that you could just throw all this stuff into a smoothie into certain combinations that are right for you. For example, I’ll do Spirulina in the summer or if I’m in the tropics, but I don’t really do Spirulina when I’m in the temperate climates of the world. It’s more of a tropical algae. Blue-green algae, however, or marine phytoplankton are cold weather types of plants or superfoods. I would do those more in the northern climates. When you’re mixing together, I think some review of the climate of where you are, your altitude, the overall time of the season, plays a little bit of a factor in what you should mix together. Other than that, it’s kind of a free-for-all.

Lenette: Okay. Which chapter gave you the most trouble in gathering the research numbers for?

David:That’s a good question. Let me think about that. Probably Aloe vera. Surprisingly Aloe vera had some of the least amount of material out there that I was able to get access to. That really surprised me because with the popularity of Aloe out there and all the different uses that there are for this amazing superfood and how little information and how few books have been written about Aloe vera, that was shocking.

Lenette: It seems like it’s hard to get really solid numbers for raw foods and superfoods, even recommended daily allowance, whatever that even means. I remember hearing you at one of your lectures talk about you went and got your Goji berries tested by three different people trying to get the vitamin A percentage and they each came back with completely different numbers. And you were kind of over it.

David:And even Vitamin C. There is no Vitamin C in a dried Goji berry. Robert Young, of Young’s Living Essential Oils, had put out these statements that the Goji berry had all this Vitamin C in it and this and that. Then you come to find out later that actually that’s not true at all. So there is a lot of misinformation like that out there all over the internet. I feel like with this book "Superfoods" that I’ve kind of distilled and gotten rid of all those myths. Like it just makes it real clear what each food does, what’s in it, and it’s very well scientifically backed. In the back of the book there are all these scientific charts, for example what’s in a Goji berry, what’s the protein, what’s the breakdown of the carotenes, what’s the content of the antioxidants, all that stuff for every superfood.

4 Super Foods for Diabetes Prevention

These power foods go above and beyond to help protect your body from diabetes.  

Chocolate is one of the most widely-consumed foods in the world. It’s actually in the top 15 most-eaten foods on the whole planet.

At any given time on planet Earth, 1 in 10 people are eating chocolate.

However, they’re not eating REAL chocolate. They’re eating the by-product of some massive industry that includes mega-companies, board meetings, legislation, and many dubious business practices, contamination with heavy metals (like lead and cadmium), and often including forced slave labor on massive chocolate plantations in Africa and South America.

In just the past few years, through the massive connecting power the world of the Internet gives us, we now have access to raw cacao and raw cacao beans, the original unprocessed, untampered-with chocolate that comes directly from the Earth.

Chocolate comes from a nut often called the "cacao bean" (or sometimes called the "cocoa bean"). This is the nut of a fruit that grows on a tree–the chocolate tree–originally from the Amazon jungle.

This raw chocolate nut is one of the highest vitamin C containing foods in the world. All processed chocolate contains absolutely no vitamin C (as it’s very heat-sensitive).

Raw cacao, eaten as a whole bean with its wrapper-like skin still intact, is one of the highest vegetarian sources of iron in the world as well.

And my favorite, raw cacao is considered by some to be Nature’s Prozac (though I’m obviously making no medical claims here), as it is very effecting in improving and elevating mood, in my experience.

Raw cacao beans are one of Nature’s true super foods and can be consumed daily out of the bag or blended into smoothies, moles, desserts, raw chili’s, puddings, etc. Raw chocolate is truly one of the great ways to eat your way into healing!
