Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

1. Science doesnât know everything there are many things that even after all of these years science cannot explain.

2. Science often contradicts itself. Some studies have found that certain things are beneficial to your health where as other studies have found that the same things can be detrimental to your health.

But yet, certain people still put their faith or whatever they call it in science and scientists hoping that they are right. It really seems like a lot of wishful thinking.

Answer
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because science is based on evidence and self-correcting.

In any case:
1) Science doesn't ask for your faith, nor do you need any faith in it. Everything in science is independently verifiable which is the whole beauty of it. That's the opposite of faith.
2) Nobody has ever claimed science knows everything. Indeed science is a methodology, not an entity capable of knowing or not knowing things. Science is a way of getting at what is true, a demonstrably effective way at that.
3) If you think science contradicts itself, you don't understand science. In the specific example of whether something is healthy or not, there's a lot of error and jumble in the data because the relationship between what you eat and your health is complicated and it's difficult if not impossible to hold all other variables constant. That's why looking at individual studies in those areas don't show anything. Instead, scientists look at a large number of studies and do meta-analyses on them to eliminate these errors, randomness, and other factors affecting the results. The kind of journalism "New study finds X is healthy/unhealthy" is based on a misunderstanding of science and results partly from the fact that journalists don't know enough science but also partly from the fact that journalists often just want quick stories.

Can you eat as much fruit as you want without gaining weight?

Some health movements, like 80/10/10 raw veganism, say that you can eat as much fruits and vegetables as you want and need as long as you stay low on fats. What do you think? I think Dr. Graham says to eat at least 2500 calories a day if you are female.

Anyone have experience on this diet?

Answer
Hi E_J,

â¦after a couple of years of raw food diet experience and research...I can only say:

Yes, you can eat as much fruit as you wish (i.e. carbohydrates - approx. 80%) as long as you stay low on fat (approx. 10%) and protein (approx. 10%). Eating as much greens and vegetables as you can on the raw vegan diet is key also!!!

Because:
Among other issues, fat in your blood can, to some extent, âblockâ proper assimilation of sugar into your body and you can potentially suffer from âsugar hits/highsâ,..., even candida etc.

But if you donât âblockâ yourself with excessive fat/processed food intake your body takes all the nutrition it needs and eliminates what it does not require. Thatâs the beauty of the living foods diet - if done right (e.g. 80/10/10) â you can enjoy tons of yummy raw fruits, veggies and foods without worrying about your figure, ever! :)

In response to âDying to be skinnyâ post, you definitely can get in enough protein (in fact, the quality of the plant protein is much better than the animal protein!), calcium, omega 3s etc. on the raw vegan plant based diet!

Provided that you:
1. eat enough calories (agree with Deirdre on that one; depends on your level of activity â do you exercise a lot / have a sedentary job?).

Itâs easy to get in enough calories on the raw vegan diet.
E.g. 10 bananas = approx. 1000 cal / 2 litres of orange juice = approx. 1000 cal

2. get in loads of greens â they are a fab source of amino acids (i.e. protein), vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients, essential acids,â¦

Tip â Get into:
- green juices (loads of greens, some veggies and a bit fruit for taste maybe) for nutrition
- green smoothies - blended greens and fruits â packed with nutrition, calories, fibre,â¦and taste (yum!). Two big green smoothies a day and youâre basically sorted ;)

3. Make sure you eat good variety of raw foods

4. Learn some basic food-combining rules (e.g. starches donât go well with proteins but greens go well with everything)

5. Listen to your body to find out what is the best for YOU, we are all different and so have different needs in different stages of our lives (e.g. as youâll detoxify on the raw food diet over time you will intuitively understand the needs of your body more an more)â¦if unsure, you can always get a simple blood test.

This is a topic for books of material, and I had to keep the very long story short here, but feel free to drop me a line if you have any further questions at all or read more at source below.

Hope that helps! Good luck on your raw food journeyâ¦itâs so worth it! :)
