I am increasing how much raw food I eat because it makes me feel better and the recipes are very tasty too. Having said that I think it's a long process and you do as you feel each and every day, building and growing year after year. I like to try different foods whilst traveling, so that would put me out of the 100% raw camp, but if the majority of my diet is raw vegetables, I feel that I'd have the right balance ~ for me :) Interesting topic!

Thanks for all the info - you really put some research into this, and you're right, there is no perfect diet for everyone. I try to do mix of raw and cooked veggies. However, I will always be a bigger fan of the cooked stuff. I could eat my weight in steamed broccoli, but can't stand it raw. Blech. Great post Angela.

If you eat something with vitamin C, it will break down the barrier. So adding orange or strawberry slices to your spinach salad would benefit you greatly! I tried a green monster the other day after working out and it was sooo A-MAZING! I have had one every day since. They are the perfect post-workout fuel. Mine was pretty basic: Spinach, Almond Milk, Flax, Frozen Banana. What are some other combos you enjoy?? LOVE LOVE this post!

I think anything taken to the extreme (i.e. 100% raw) can make life very stressful. You always help to remind me that life is about balance and our quality of life is not just about diet and exercise, it's also about our state of mind. Healthy minds contribute to healthy bodies and stressing over trying to achieve the "perfect diet" for optimal health is somewhat counterproductive- seeing as stress is a big contributer to disease, etc... Thanks for always putting things into perspective and making a perfectionist like myself step back and take a breath :) I really admire how you always try to achieve balance in your life, whether it’s in diet or exercise.

But I'm extremely allergic to just about everything, especially foods containing salicylates and amines. So if anyone is highly sensitive its probably worth thinking about. I definitely feel heaps better since I've started avoiding raw foods. Having said that, I dream about eating a lovely crunchy salad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
