How Do You Get Protein On Raw or Juice Detox?

I get this question often and apparently over 78,000,000 have googled this question, and I know why. If people have been taught over the years about animal proteins but have not gotten information on plant proteins, amino acids and the breakdown and usage of them by our bodies then pertinent info would be lacking. The Standard American Diet (SAD), consists of entirely too much animal proteins, fat and sugar!

1 Of many studies:
Excerpt from "The China Study", by Dr. T. Colin Campbell: I then noticed a research report from India that had some very provocative, relevant findings.
Indian researchers had studied two groups of rats. In one group, they administered the cancer causing
aflatoxin, then fed a diet that was composed of 20% protein, a level near what many of
us consume in the West. In the other group, they administered the same amount of aflatoxin,
but then fed a diet that was only composed of 5% protein. Incredibly, every single animal that
consumed the 20% protein diet had evidence of liver cancer, and every single animal that
consumed a 5% protein diet avoided liver cancer. It was a 100 to 0 score, leaving no doubt that
nutrition trumped chemical carcinogens, even very potent carcinogens, in controlling cancer.

Some of the best Non-animal protein sources:
1. Spirulina (dried blue-green algae)
2.Hemp Seeds
3. Flax Seeds
4.Seeds/Nuts
5. Bee Pollen
6. Last but not least is produce!

So Much More Than Physical

Do Not Obsess Over Food

You want to enjoy food and eating. You want to look forward to grocery shopping, preparation and anticipation of the pleasures of eating. There is such a sense of peace and well-being automatically attached to healthy eating. Unfortunately, when you eat junk, you are always on an emotional roller coaster. You feel regret and are always having mental battles and feelings of failure. Let's take a look at animals for a second. A cow, bird or horses eat for fuel. They enjoy their meals and they eat what was naturally made for them to eat. You would never see a bird that eats junk and is overweight, stressing about it and has to walk because it can no longer fly.

Is It Good To Drink Red Bull Before Working Out?

It is not good to EVER drink Red Bull! Jessica Alba finishes one as she goes to get her workout on. Energy drinks have become a 1.1 Billion dollar industry. Energy drinks should not be used while exercising as the combination of fluid loss from sweating and the diuretic quality of the caffeine can leave the user severely dehydrated. It does nothing to provide the body with any necessary nutrients or fluids. As a stimulant, caffeine can make you have anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, and insomnia. It will only ad more toxins to an already toxin burdened body and decrease our bodies internal water supply and natural detoxification processes. Not to mention the fact that these drinks are highly addictive because of the high amounts of sugar and caffeine. So please do not fall for the hype. Ignore the brilliant marketing words and phrases they display on the can and just grab your water.
