Vitamins and Minerals

Real N’ Raw showcases a solution that offers everyone a chance to live a pain and disease free life.  So many of us still think that health is unaffordable, that organic fruit and vegetables and things that are marketed like health supplements are so expensive that it can really stop someone from thinking that health is not obtainable because of budget.  For centuries we have been indoctrinated with poverty, especially as the world population grows and the wealth/poverty gap grows bigger.  But ask yourself what is able to bridge that gap, what is it that is able to give that feeling of abundance, excellence and that feeling that comes through living our dreams.  So I want people to understand that no matter where you are on the financial ladder, health is obtainable for you.  Once you make your mind up and decide that change is going to happen in your life no matter what, then the solutions can appear.  It is when we say that oh no it is too expensive or I can’t afford to buy fruits that the mental poverty trap keeps us in our misery.  Me and my girls constantly not because we have too but because it is really a fun thing to do scour the neighbourhodd for locally grown back yard fruit.  We have a great time, jumping fences, loading up jumpers and pockets with fruit and not to mention the taste of the stuff.  Delectable.  Talk to your neighbors, share back yard fruit, it is a great way to get to know everyone.

Anyway back on to supplements such as vitamins and minerals.  I just want people to know that even though there are a lot of good extra additions to a healthy raw diet out out there, don’t think because you can’t afford them that you can’t reach optimum health for you.  Matty’s best healing was done eating watermelon and lemons alone for weeks on end.  Yes just watermelon and lemons, in fact that is what saved him from an early grave.  Sometimes he would only be spending $15 a week on food and that was when he was able to put in the hard yard to make Real N’ Raw possible.  He had so much energy that he was sleeping less, working out more and able to balance his new found health freedom.  So no we are not trying to put the supplements industry out of business but what we are offering is a solution that is obtainable on any budget.

Please remember that it takes time to heal after years of eating a processed and enzyme deficient diet we are finding that people want overnight miracles.  Even though when Matty went raw the initial boost of energy and pain relief was a highlight, it was just the beginning of a roller coaster ride towards health.  It is not all easy and there are some huge detox periods that people are mistaking for allergies and thinking that raw food is not for everyone.  Once you understand how the body works and heals itself you too can understand that the process takes time.  It is not a magic pill but more an ongoing choice to be healthy and is certainly worth the ride.  Who on earth wants to live in pain and disease, no not much fun at all.  We had our share of that and think that once you know the solution the long and short term benefits are well worth the self discipline to obtain.  You will be amazed at how the most annoying little things mental, emotional and physical can just disappear after a period on raw foods.

Fruit For Our Children

Well I had the opportunity to attend a “Climate Change” seminar last night at Auckland University.  To some it up in one word it would have to be “DEPRESSING”.  However it reminded me of why I set up Fruit For Our Children.  I cant stand people who sit and talk about a problem and don’t do anything about it.  Actions speak louder than words.

So FFOC is a charitable trust committed to planting 17 million not for profit fruit trees in New Zealand.  Please visit the website and help support by purchasing Real N’ Raw, it is a great movie and has a fantastic soundtrack and is a showcase of solutions from people who are very real and share some great wisdom to inspire you into healthy living.  Disease is NOT a mystery.

So the climate change seminar went on about how things like Copenhagen will make a difference.  Well I say the thing that will make a difference is supporting charities like FFOC so fruit tree orchards can be planted throughout the entire country and world for that matter so that no matter what happens we have access to nourishing fruit.  Planting fruit trees helps in so many aspects to current problems that we face including soil erosion, starvation, malnutrition, disease, obesity, heart problems, cancer, arthritis, builds communities, gives people something to do and the list goes on!  I propose that instead of spending money on Copenhagen, how about everyone buy fruit trees with the cash and plant them instead.  That way we might see some change and not just bums on seats.

I think the problems we are facing are easily rectified, only we have become so complicated in our thinking that we cant see straight.  Changing our diet and the way we farm are two huge ways that will have immediate impact for life on earth.  Most people know that when you change your diet to raw, that so many beautiful things start to happen.

So check out Fruit For Our Children website and purchase one of the songs from the Real N’ Raw soundtrack or all of them!  Make it a blessed day.
