The phrase "natural beauty" has been abused and
misused beyond restoration. The modern use is almost never associated
with its true meaning. Someone said there should be a portrait of a
healthy person in a museum so people would know what they are talking
about. If we don’t know what a healthy person looks like, how do we know
what natural beauty is?
In our unnatural world, the
word "natural" no longer means without effort, at least not in the realm
of obtaining your best look. One thing is a must in defining natural
beauty: its achievement must not involve any sacrifice of health. None,
period. If health is compromised in any way beauty is not natural.
Our
body was created in the image of God, the Supreme Beauty. When our
actions are in opposition to nature, the results are different types of
bodily ills, deformities, and ugliness. Since there can be no natural
beauty without eating 100 percent natural food, most of you have never
seen the natural you.
There is an urgent need for
another word. The contemporary meaning of natural is too far from the
divine. I suggest filling this void with "rawsome", a new word
circulating in the raw food community. It is a combination of two
words:" raw" and "awesome" with the meaning being something between
natural and divine. The diet of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds
also needs to be renamed. I have often been told that the phrase “the
raw food diet”, sounds like eating raw meat, particularly sushi, which
is misleading. The raw food diet is so awesome that it should be called
the very name it inspired- the Rawsome Diet.
Most of
us feel our appearance lacks something. In reality, ugliness is more
about excess. Toxic accumulations in our bodies are responsible for
stealing our health and attractiveness. Beauty lies latent under
cushions of retained fluids, deposits of fat, and sick tissues. Your
beauty is buried alive, but in most cases it can be revived in a version
that will be satisfactory to you. You must take immediate action to
revitalize it. When you do, your uncovered beauty will surprise and
delight you.
Eating cooked food will leave residues
the body cannot utilize, and they will be deposited in places our
Creator never intended. Everything not fully digested and properly
eliminated, the body will treat as an abnormal substance. It will pocket
these toxins as far away from the vital organs as possible--on the
peripheries of the body--where it will invariably be reflected in our
outward appearance. If the body cannot use it inside, it will deposit it
on the outside. Nutrients from the food you eat spiral upward to the
epidermis, and their quality will determine whether you will have a
glowing clear complexion or skin spotted with growths, such as moles and
skin sores.
Some physical characteristics of our face
and body we cannot change--they were determined prior to our birth. But
the consumption of the raw plant diet as an adult will make a
difference in the texture of skin and hair, the health of nails, weight
and complexion. All of these traits and more are determined by daily
choices, with food being one of the most important and, luckily, the one
we can fully control.
The Rawsome diet is the most
suitable one for human physiology. It is salubrious to the body’s health
and salutary to its beauty. The ability to renew cells is built into
your body, and the body itself is capable of making you look more
attractive. After all, we were designed to bloom continuously as old
cells get replaced by new ones. The Rawsome diet makes the most of this
rejuvenating ability of our bodies.
Rawsome beauty is
not manufactured from the outside but cultivated from the inside by
nutritionally charged food. Whole raw food restores the integrity of
every cell and facilitates the optimal operation of every organ inside
and out. The body, having been awakened by the improved diet, in its
wisdom, will reach out to the places where health was lacking, and you
will gradually see your beauty surfacing. The Rawsome diet will
eliminate all the toxins on a deeper level and bring amazing changes to
your appearance.
Only the body sustained on raw food
will host natural beauty, or should we say Rawsome beauty. The landscape
of the body will change. The surface of the skin will become soft and
smooth but still firm and supple. Visible pores will diminish. A sallow
skin with a yellow pallor will turn into a porcelain-like complexion.
The whites of eyes, once red, will become bright with a bluish tinge. As
natural collagen production improves, it will fill in the places where
it is needed as in hollow cheeks. Raw food eating will clarify and
refine your features and bring delicacy to your face.
On
the Rawsome Diet, you will marvel at how the Master Artist will make
the most of your individual features and bring balance to the entire
face. Texture, hues, and shape will be harmoniously arranged into a
genteel whole. Perfection and imperfection will be tied together into a
unique original version of beauty.
Each time I see a
woman, I study her appearance, and I see not just the way she looks but
the way she could look. What I see is how far her image falls short of
her potential beauty. I perceive her beauty as it would stand out after
the body has cleansed itself from toxins and excesses.
From
age 15 until recently, I wore my hair permed, only to discover at 45
that straight hair in my natural color was the best possible frame for
my face. Did my preference change? Not at all. My face did. So let me
give you a hint, if you need a camouflaging hairdo, you are not looking
your best. The changes in your face brought about by raw foods will
bring the freedom to arrange your hair in any way you want. When your
peer group is thinking: “I am losing my looks”, you will be finding
yours. At 45, I enjoy looking in the mirror while before I detested my
reflection.
As the cleansing initiated by this diet is
completed, you will be very pleased to see how you were meant to look.
Your body will exhibit beauty and dignity. You will become satisfied,
even fascinated, with your appearance. When you look your very best, you
look perfect, in a sense that you are as close to the divine image for
yourself as you could ever be. You accept yourself completely. Natural
beauty is above conformity; it doesn’t demand to be accepted by the
dictates of the beauty norm.
People who have been on
the raw food lifestyle for several years begin to have a glow, the kind
not often seen in middle-aged people. Optimal health is recognized by an
emerging radiance. Glow is hard to fake because it is internal. It
comes from an abundance of clear, pink, almost transparent cells that
light up the face. Only superior blood circulation can bring this
transfiguring glow. Several years on the raw food diet will make you
look as though you just stepped out of a painting by Renoir--the
impressionist best known for his preoccupation with light.
I
have come to believe if you do not embrace the 100 percent raw food
diet, you will never meet The Most Beautiful You. The best proof that
the Rawsome diet is optimal for the body is it makes you beautiful. Slim
face, slender waist, and clear skin with smooth coloration-these subtle
changes will convince you the raw plant diet is the best for good
health and graceful beauty. No woman knows her true beauty until she
cleanses her body completely of all waste.
You can say
there are people who are beautiful, and they are not on this diet. That
is true. It is hard to believe, but even they haven't seen the best of
themselves. Dissatisfaction with one’s appearance arises not from
perceiving our bodies inaccurately but because subconsciously we are
aware we haven’t achieved our optimal look. The Rawsome diet gives a
feeling of authenticity, an assurance we have become what we were meant
to be.
Raw food not only corrects beauty’s
shortcomings but also lifts the limitations of one’s spirit and releases
strains and tensions in both your mind and body. People on the raw food
diet have an aura about them, a transcendent nobility and complacent
dignity. Sickness is goodness lost, and our unhappiness is a longing for
goodness. One takes in the goodness in the form of fresh fruits and
vegetables and feels its purifying process on the inside. Goodness in
one’s food summons up goodness in one’s appearance and character.
Do
you think it is hard to follow this life style? Women have done so
many outrageous and dangerous things to themselves in the pursuit of
beauty, I believe they should at least try the Rawsome lifestyle, which
promises to transform them into beautiful people. What a woman won’t do
for health, she will do for beauty. This is the first time beauty asks
no sacrifice from health.
