I so highly recommend the wondrous book by David Wolfe: The Sunfood Diet Success System.  This book is an awesome resource for the science behind, the power behind and the results from living foods.  David has a great way of bridging together the hard science and the easy-to-digest explanation of raw foods.  

In The Sunfood Diet Success System, David Wolfe puts together a masterpiece of introductory lessons in raw foods and their impact, on the importance of healthy enzymes and the impact of eating mutated foods (allergies, chronic pain and even terminal illnesses).  Not only does he have the know-how in the impactful way that raw foods impact the body, but David also lays out plans for how to transition successfully or experiment with raw foods, how to plan cleanses for yourself, weekly menus and full recipes.  Below I bring you a few of his recipes for rapid results.  These work sort of like teasers to introduce impactful eating for some of our everyday health challenges.  Try some of these out the next time you might otherwise reach for an over the counter drug.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, many of us are thinking about the sweeter things in life.  Perhaps you are planning on trying a new recipe for your honey – or you have a sugar addiction you are trying to rein in.   Either way, it is likely that in the new few weeks you will be surrounded by mounds of sweet things.  For optimal nutrition, many of us try to limit the sugars we eat.  Yet not all sugars are created equal.  Some sugars make us feel terrible, other sugars make us feel great!  Some sugars are empty calories, while others have significant nutritional value.  How do you know what to eat?  Do you know what sugars are really best for you? Which sugar is best for which use?  This overview will help answer these questions.
