After watching a few documentaries touting the advantages of the Gerson Diet, I've decided this is the direction I want to go in with my food choices. In fact, it seems crazy to go in any other direction, now that my eyes have been opened about food and what our bodies require.
Basically, Dr. Gerson pointed out that a lot of illnesses and problems that we have are related to deficiencies and toxicities in our bodies from not eating correctly. If our meals consisted of %50 raw vegetables and fruits and the rest comprised of whole grains and healthy fats and proteins, we could fight off a lot of the diseases and problems our current generations are suffering from. By the way, Dr. Gerson's book on this subject was published in 1958.
So as of today, I'm making it my goal to do this. And after watching the life-saving changes that happened to the people in the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, I've decided to also give the Juice Reboot a try. With a name like that is sounds like a fad, but literally you are drinking raw juiced vegetables and fruits. They aren't selling some magical compound that swears to make you lose weight. They aren't selling anything. They are giving us knowledge back which our ancestors would think we were crazy for having forgotten; that vegetables and fruits are good for us and they make our bodies complete.
