Raw Vegan Diet Mistakes and Solutions!

Good Morning! !

I want to give newcomers and veteran raw vegans a new tip today.

I'll be talking about: Chewing your food, facial excersize (in relation to chewing), and I'll give you a few free money-saving tips. Are you ready for my first tip, because it may shock you! Here we go:

THROW OUT YOUR BLENDER!

Well, not literally, but I've found a revolutionary device that is guaranteed to improve your health, and better yet, you probably (well, hopefully) already own it.. plus it's FREE! Here it is:

The best tool for blending your food, and therefore releasing all the nutrients into your bloodstream is....***Drumroll*** your mouth!

See, before we had blenders, and before we had (for the cooked foodists out there) stove tops and ovens, we used our mouths as tools. The people tens of thousands of years ago didn't have the metal nutcrackers, the pin-point accurate, ergonomic knives that we have today, and they certainly didn't have a tool that chews a particular food like a blender does.

So what did they use? Yes, that's right, their MOUTHS! The human jaw is getting progressively smaller because we have juices, cooked mush foods, and blenders that chew for us. The face has many muscles that need to be worked just like any other muscle. Haven't you heard that it takes more muscles to frown rather than smile? That should be proof (both to chew more and to smile!)

So, what I want you to do is CHEW MORE! Chew your lettuce, kale, spinach or whatever green you chew until the bits are almost powder. Cut it up a little and mix in a bowl with bananas, mangoes, pears or any fruit you desire...or, just mix in your mouth! Isn't your mouth just such a multi-fasceted tool? Now, this may take 30, 40, or 50 chews...but don't look at it in a "time" sense, look at it as though your improving your health with every 10 chews, because your releasing those nutrients deep down in the leaf and crushing the fiber (just like a blender)

The benefits of chewing more are not just in your digestive health. When you chew vigourously and actually work the muscles (that's why they're there) you force them into alignment. The muscles will now "cradle" and strength the barrier around the teeth and force them into proper alignment (which is one on top of the other, side to side). It also activates the salivary glands (which produces saliva) which literally cleanses the teeth of plaque and build-up.

Now, since you can't chew ALL the time (unless you're REALLY hungry) you can use something like a clean hand-towel and just chew on it. Honestly, I'm doing it right now! Make sure to change the hand-towels size and thickness so your mouth gets worked out from different angles. Also remember to place the towel everywhere in your mouth. Put it far back in your mouth to work your molars and then in the front to work your incisors (front blade-like teeth).

So, no, you DONT have to spend 200,300, or even 400 dollars on a "specialty" blender that does the same thing your mouth can do. And on an eco-note, some of these blenders use HORRENDOUS ammounts of energy. When you see Vitamix or Blend-tec's specs, you see they are 2-3 Horsepower - the same as a freakin lawnmower! This is not necessary and it "surges" the electricity which is worse for conservation that if you used the same ammount, but over a longer period of time.

In conclusion, we have reviewed chewing and why it's important for facial muscle-development which leads to more secure, lined-up, and pearly-white teeth. I also told you that you could do without your blender for most of your raw meals or snacks.

All these tips will improve your health and actually save you money, and time in the long run. The reason it will save time is that your jaw will get so strong and so quick eventually that you will be able to fully chew in seconds, and still get all the health you need from it. You also wont need to visit the dentist or buy expensive orthodental equipment like braces, retainers, or wires.

So, that's it for me! Hope you enjoyed my post. Remember, "live life live"
