A Virtual Health Retreat Awaits You
Been dreaming of a health retreat at a beautiful resort, but either time or money – or perhaps both – prevent you from going? What if I told you that I know of an amazing place that adapts to your schedule and charges absolutely nothing? For real. Ive been there!A bit overwhelming at first, but the folks at the Hospitality Desk were so kind and helpful that I quickly felt right at home. After grabbing a delicious smoothie in the Liquid Lounge, I began exploring.
The place is huge...a Fitness Room, Wellness Center, Spa. I hooked up with some fellow yoga enthusiasts and discovered a 10,000 Step Walking Club. Theres a well-stocked Library of books related to raw living foods, natural health, wellness — even a group that meets regularly to discuss Louise Hays bestseller You Can Heal Your Life.
You wouldnt believe who I found doing cooking demos in the Culinary Center: Ani Phyo, Philip McCluskey, Jennifer Cornbleet, Karen Knowler, Rawdawg Rory, Victoria Boutenko, and even more culinary wizards from the international raw foods community.
And holy guacamole, the Kitchen! I could spend hours in there, sampling delectable raw desserts, soups, entrees, and a bountiful salad bar.
Did I mention the organic Garden? Oh yeah, and a Greenhouse, overflowing with salad greens, sprouts, and trays of wheatgrass. And listen, thats only a taste of whats available. Theres even a special place just for kids to hang out and chill.
Okay, really, you need to experience Raw Food Rehab for yourself. Youll find a wonderful support community as you renew your health with a diet rich in raw and living foods.
Over 550 people have already checked in and are participating in an 11 Week Total Health & Weight Loss Initiative thats now underway through December 31st. But new members can join in anytime and benefit from the ongoing education, resources and support. And I guarantee you, the lovely director, Penni Shelton, will make you feel right at home.
So what are you waiting for? Add some life to your years and years to your life — check into Raw Food Rehab today. See you in the Kitchen!

An Evolving Journey Back To Health
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a budwas more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin
On the last summer solstice, I set an intention to change my relationship to food and to regain my health. Funny how the Universe conspires to support us. Through a seemingly chance encounter, I was introduced to the idea of a raw, living foods diet and thats been the road Ive chosen to follow. Its been an interesting journey for sure. And, one that continues to evolve.
Theres a wonderful website I often frequent called Evolving Wellness™ that focuses on holistic health and natural living. Evita shares informative, well-researched articles, product reviews and recipes. Today, Im the feature of her monthly Evolving Wellness In Action series.

Diet Tips The health risks of crash and fad diets
The allure of the rapid and easy weight loss that crash and fad diets offer is often times too much for some people to resist.
This is especially true if you have struggled with your weight for a long time, or feel like nothing you do has worked so far.
However, before you try the newest fad diet, consider the risks involved to your physical and emotional health and well-being. It can not only be dangerous physically, especially if you have an existing medical condition, but also mentally and emotionally because the odds you will keep the weight off are slim to none.
The number one claim of crash diets is that you will see weight loss quickly. This is accomplished by eating little food, or maybe a high-liquid or no carb diet. However, what’s actually happening is your body is going into starvation mode.
Starvation mode slows your metabolism and means your body is burning your supply of carbohydrate glycogen, and water, but not fat, which is what you need to burn in order to truly lose weight. In the long run, if you continue to crash diet, your metabolism will become lower and lower, making it even harder to lose weight.
You will eventually feel a slew of other things such as nausea, light-headedness, dizziness and hunger, which leads to irritability, being tired, lethargic and moody because your body and mind are being deprived of the essential nutrients it needs to be sharp and energetic.
Over time, if you keep participating in crash diets it can be dangerous because you won’t be as mentally sharp or physically strong, and it can affect your work, the safety of yourself and your family, and also could lead to depression and other eating disorders like anorexia.
Long term risks of crash dieting can also include robbing your organs of vital nutrients and in turn your body will burn the tissues of your organs, which can lead to heart attack, stroke and liver and kidney damage.
Exercising and raising your heart rate causes your metabolism to go up and help you to build muscle, fat cells and calories. This, along with healthy eating provides your body with the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to function properly. Losing weight is only accomplished by eating healthy foods, a balanced diet and by maintaining a physical, active lifestyle.
