Raw food - the experiences of our readers |
|
I was overweight (about 30 pounds), my cholesterol was 8, triglycerides 2, I suffered from heart problems and high blood pressure - up to 180 over 110.
The thing that disturbed me the most was my skin disease, which caused a terrible itch (I used to scratch myself until I bled). Besides, I had frequent colds and headaches.
My doctor told me that I needed to take medications for blood pressure, cholesterol etc.
But since I'm not inclined to trust doctors, I got scared and started reading books I had about a healthy way of treatment. I came across raw diet.
After just a month of eating only raw food, my skin problems receded and my blood pressure normalized. After several months, the cholesterol was reduced to 5 and the triglycerides to 1.
After a year I lost about 30 pounds, my blood pressure is 120 over 75 for the past two years.
I stopped suffering from headaches, colds and flu. I started with a raw diet four years ago when I was 59. It is important to note that since I reached my normal weight, I am no longer losing any weight.
My husband, who was watching from the side, joined the following year because he could not keep pace with me when we were walking uphill - we live on the hill with a nice view.
Yes, that's right, now we walk 6 kilometers to the nearest store once every two days.
I am sad when I see sick people, people that can not give up their many addictions, but if there is a single person who will accept my help, I'm happy."
