Basically what would you eat to make sure you got your daily needs? I keep having anxieties that whenever sometthing is wrong with me im lacking certain vitamins. My nails are as white and white as can be and have one little white milk line.

do not stress yourself just eat plenty of fruits and greens.

Worried and stress of not getting enough vitamins will make you sick.

I was a bit worried about this too ~ which is funny, since it never crossed my mind in my pre-raw days! 


To me the answer is juicing.

Experts say you should have at least five servings of vegetables a day and apparently 180mls of vegetable juice is equal to one serving.

So my 750ml of juicing daily, using a variety of vegetable, should supply me with all the nutrients, minerals, vitamins and enzymes that I need.

 (plus I eat additional raw food throughout the day, to add to that total)

I have read the following passage numerous times in a variety of different locations in the last few months:

“Juicing removes the indigestible fibre. These nutrients are available to the body in much larger quantities than if the piece of fruit or vegetable was eaten whole. For example, because many of the nutrients are trapped in the fibre, when you eat a raw carrot, you are only able to assimilate about 1% of the available beta carotene. When a carrot is juiced, removing the fibre, nearly 100% of the beta carotene can be assimilated”.

Organic produce is best because recent studies in the UK show that organic produce has 40% more nutrients, minerals, vitamins and enzymes, then non-organic produce.

This is a very good question. How can I make sure that I get all my body needs? There is so many things that one can do, juicing, eating variety, or even calculating what I've eaten every day. But for me, there is only one fail-proof way of ensuring that I get all I need. To me, it is by listening to my body and giving it what it wants! All animals have biological instincts that guide them as what to eat, we do to. Some scientific studies showed that animals can basically sniff nutrients that they are lacking in, in foods in front of them and then choose the right foods to eat, and this is only a small view at miriads of various processes, which are such a task to analyze but such a breeze to apply. Humans do have instincts too! When we go raw, we reconnect with these instincts more than ever before. We observe that hunger is something experienced in a throat, not a belly, we observe that we know when to stop eating, because then food stops tasting good, we observe that some foods make our body happy and some are irritants, and so on. How do I reconnect with these instincts? I don't know, it is so hard to describe, but such a breeze to apply, I do it instinctively!
