The Benefits of Raw Food Diet For Cancer Patients

There has been a lot of talk about how raw foods help beat various diseases such as cancer. Such treatments make the immune system stronger, a lot of raw foods contain nutrients that destroy cancer etc. But before we get into all of that, it is important to understand what a "raw diet" exactly is.
The term "raw food" means the food is eaten without cooking and a "raw food" diet for cancer is a vegetarian type diet. The vegetables and fruits that are consumed are known to destroy cancer directly or indirectly. The foods that are in the cancer "raw food" diet are not random uncooked foods, they are carefully selected to fight against cancer specifically.
A lot of foods contain very important enzymes and cooking the food can destroy 100% of the enzymes. Cooked food does not contain as much nutrients as raw foods. Of course some vegetables are better to be eaten cooked like green beans and peas but generally it is better to consume raw foods not broiled, boiled or cooked.
Juicing vegetables and fruits makes the nutrients of the foods more digestible for the body, so more essential nutrients are extracted from the fruits or vegetables with much less of the obstructing fibers. You can also consume a lot more fruits and vegetables in a much shorter period with juicing.
As I mentioned before not all fruits and vegetables have the ability to treat cancer. If your goal is to cure cancer then your diet has to consist of massive amounts of the best cancer-killing nutrients. Just eating random fruits and vegetables is far less effective than eating carefully selected foods.
If you want a cancer-killing vegetable juice then your juice has to contain these ingredients: carrots (carrots may be the best cancer-fighting vegetable of all), broccoli. cabbage, red beets, green asparagus, cauliflower, beet tops etc. By the way pepper also has some cancer fighting substances. Consuming refined flour products, milk, milk products and meat should be stopped.
It is essential to get proper nutrients which the body needs. The diet of most people is poor to say the least and their body does not get all the nutrients it needs to function properly. Sure, the body can get by for many years but at some point the side-effects start to occur. So if you provide your body with the nutrients it needs, you can be sure that you are far less likely to get cancer and if you do have cancer, you are very likely to beat it!

The Best Raw Foods For Beautiful And Healthy Skin

Do you know what the best raw foods for your skin are?

Back in high school I suffered with severe acne. It was so bad it covered my entire face, chest, back. I even had it on my arms and legs. I tried all kinds of medications for it, including accutane. Every doctor I would go to would all say the same thing you skin has nothing to do with your diet. At the time I believed them.

It was not until I discovered the truth and started studying top alternative doctors.. That I cleared up my acne for good.

Beautiful And Healthy Skin Starts In Your Gut?

You can tell a lot about how healthy someone's gut really is just by looking at their eyes and skin. Clear radiant skin and eyes is usually a sign of a clean intestine. Meaning their body is relatively free from toxins.

What causes bad skin?

Bad skin is caused by toxic build up in the colon and intestine. When your colon gets back up blemishes, acne, and dry skin is the result.

So the first thing you need to do is to minimize the amount of toxins entering your body as much as possible. The biggest toxins you must avoid are processed foods, which are loaded with all kinds of chemicals/toxins. Other forms of toxins are tap water, polluted areas, and skin creams to name a few.

Next you need to eat the best raw foods that are great for your skin:

According to discover health there are a number of raw foods for beautiful and healthy skin.

A few of the foods they suggest you eat are

1.) Raw Nuts - many nuts are loaded with vitamin E, especially almonds. This essential vitamin is responsible for fighting skin aging. Also prevents free radical damage to your skin and helps your skin hold in more moisture to prevent dryness.

2.) Red and Green Vegetable - These types of vegetables are packed full of beta-carotene which your body converts to vitamin A. This key vitamin also fights skin aging and prevents skin damage. A great food high in this essential vitamin is spinach.

3.) Raw Fruits - many fruits are loaded with vitamin C. What this vitamin does is helps collagen production. Which are proteins that form the structure of your skin. When your collagen levels are low this can cause your skin to become saggy. Vitamin C helps to tighten up your skin to prevent this.

Oranges are not the only fruit that is high in vitamin C. Here are 5 raw foods that are higher in vitamin C than oranges. They include: Papaya, strawberries, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cantaloupe.

And here's a delicious raw smoothie with all the crucial nutrients to healthy and beautiful skin.

The Anti-Aging Raw Smoothie

•1 handful of almonds 

•1 cup of spinach (don't worry you won't taste it!) 

•1 cup of strawberries 

•1 cup of reverse osmosis or distilled water.

Blend until smooth.

Other Factors that Impact Your Skin

1.) You need to drink half your body weight in ounces per day. So if you weigh 140 pounds then you need to be consuming 70 ounces of reverse osmosis or distilled water per day. Not tap water.

2.) Optimize your gut flora with beneficial bacteria by eating fermented foods and taking a high quality probiotic.

3.) Optimize your vitamin D levels by getting 20 minutes of sunlight everyday (no burning).

There you have it the keys to more beautiful, healthy, and radiant skin.
