10 superfoods you need to know about - RAW Addition

I have recently taken some interest in the Raw food movement.

Long story. Started with Colon Therapy. Blood typing. A statement by a naturopath that avoiding certain foods might reduce my levels of tiredness (I hadn't mentioned my high levels of fatigue, she just said this).

Followed with a decision to limit alcohol and coffee. And to drink more water.

Via Instagram of all places I came across various sources of inspiration for trying out raw food. and then a few articles on the telebox interviewing Andrew G / Osher Günsberg / Andrew Günsberg and his choice of a raw lifestyle. 

Instant Benefits! Clear head - clarity of thought. Better Sleep. Less Fatigue. Less impulsive behaviour.

But totally raw? I love my grilled fish, poached eggs. fillet steak.
I've lived the Mike Geary way for quite a few years now. With great success. But my mind is open to new ideas.


Im sure there is a middle ground.

A few Blogs have sparked my interest to integrate raw in to my life - 75% would be good.

I am going to continue to explore and fill you in on some good blogs to which you might like to subscribe.

10 Simple Ways To Improve Your Life

I saw this article posted recently on http://fitnessinfo411.com

I was pleased to see how many of these I do already, but i was really  surprised by those which I DO NOT.

Although most people might have thought or read about what works for them in order to stay healthy and happy, it can be easily forgotten due to the various distractions accompanied with life at home and at work.

Advice on ways to improve their health via magazines, books, television, online,  friends, and even their parents. These suggestions can vary from person to person, and be a very long list. these suggestions can be conflicting, sometimes lacking in detail, or just too difficult. Clearly the more realistic advice is the advice we can easily integrate in to our lives. 
Here is a short list of some of the more popular suggestions.
