5 Disturbing Facts about Soda

Friday, May 10th, 2013

Did you now that soda is one of the most toxic drinks for your body? They contain aspartame (rat poison), and they are filled with processed sugars, dyes, and chemicals. Here are 5 things you didn’t know about soda. Fruit juice anyone?!

1. It can be used to Clean a Toilet

2. Use it with a ball of aluminum foil for rust on chrome.

3. Clean corrosion from car battery terminals.

4. Use it to loosen a rusted bolt.

5. Hazardous materials signs are required on trucks carrying concentrated ingredients.

Now that I have your attention, here are 15 more reasons why sodas are detrimental to your health:

1. Soda will increase your cholesterol levels by up to 11%
2. Thanks to the sugar and acid in soda, it is bad for your teeth and causes tooth decay
3. Contributes to weight gain and obesity
4. Drinking soda can increase your risk of having kidney stones
5. Contains phosphoric acid which increases your risk of osteoporosis
6. Causes dehydration and contains pH levels that advance the aging of your skin
7. Studies show that drinking two or more sodas a week increases your risk of developing cancer
8. Drinking too much soda can cause insomnia due to the amount of caffeine
9. The carbonation in soda can cause acid reflux or heartburn
10. According to a 10-year study, individuals who drink two or more sodas a day have a 500 percent waist expansion in comparison to those who do not drink soda!
11. Diet sodas contain the artificial sweetener aspartame which has been shown to cause seizures, migraines, visual problems, anxiety, and other disorders.
12. Mountain Dew, Fresca and other citrus-flavored sodas contain Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) which has been banned in over 100 countries but not in the US. Studies show that BVO, which is a flame retardant, can cause damage to the heart and muscles, liver damage, neurological conditions, and more.
13. Aluminum cans and plastic bottles of some sodas have linings that contain Bisphenol A (BPA) which can cause fertility problems, developmental and behavioral problems in infants and children, heart problems, and other disorders.
14. Increases your risk of diabetes
15. Affects your ability to regulate your appetite

If you’re trying to get “off the soda,” try fruit juices instead! They are nutritious, tasty, and colorful! They can be sweet or non-sweet, and most importantly, they are made with fresh ingredients and no chemicals. Juice organic ingredients if possible. For more information on the benefits of juicing, please check out my FullyRaw Facebook page or sign up for my June class “ALL ABOUT JUICING.”

Replace soda with fresh, FullyRaw Juices! We will have our juices at co-op tomorrow! Instead of soft drinks, enjoy our cold-pressed, raw, organic, local, and delicious juices made with love just for you!

An Healthy Nation: Lettuce BELIEVE!

Friday, November 9th, 2012

I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES. DO YOU?

Our nation is unhealthy. While some may be practicing good health, more are unhealthy than healthy. I think now more than ever people are looking for health. Not just any type of health, but a solution to unease; a means to dissatisfaction. Society continuously searches for the “quick fix” to some of the most deep-rooted issues; yet, these self-destructive habits cannot be changed overnight. The solution seems to be complicated, but it is actually simple. The question is: are you brave enough to embark on the journey to ultimate body freedom?

When I first went FullyRaw almost 8 years ago, I had no idea the transformation that would take place. Fruits and vegetables would change my life? Really? Sure, why not. If you eat them you feel better physically, right? YES. As a result, I found perfect physical health! Ironically, I didn’t expect for the rest of my life to change. My mindset changed, my emotions changed, and my heart changed. All of the things that I truly wanted for myself, I finally envisioned the manifestation for these possibilities. More importantly, I saw myself as worthy to have them. Then, I developed the bravery to take the steps towards making them happen. What desires and dreams and I speaking of specifically?

Before when I was hyperglycemic, I always dreamed of having the perfect health, perfect body, and perfect confidence. Ironically, I saw this “Kristina” in my head, but I never acted like her in real life. She was my prototype. Becoming FullyRaw was like skydiving: I took the leap with complete faith that the person I wanted to become would manifest as a beacon of health inspiration to show the world what is possible through raw living. Eat raw isn’t just about the food, but it is just about the food. My transformation started with fruits and veggies; here I still stand with fruits and veggies. Am I in the same place? Yes and no. I eat just as clean as I did when I first started this journey; however, I stand before you transformed. I’m in a new element of confidence, happiness, healthiness, self-love, community love, family love, and hope.

I do believe in the power of fruits and veggies. Anyone who has tried a bite of what raw wants another bite. There is something about eating raw that not only makes you CRAVE the fresh food, but also the image of what your body would be like completely PURE. Not to mention, there is something about being totally tied to the earth in a way that connects you with all living things. You turn ON, and there is no going back without an inner subconscious battle. So why not do it? Why not serve as a light, an inspiration to everyone you know?

Drug companies dish out a different type of drug that has our nation in a downward spiral. Smoking. Drinking. Hate. Contamination. Littering. Pesticides. Hate. Self-Banter. Rudeness. Our nation is unhealthy. Fewer live in harmonic peace with their bodies and with the earth than not. But, this HARMONY is what we SEEK. It is that of which we dream. Take that step. What can help us? What can get to the root of the problem? What has the power to CHANGE our NATION? What has the power to save humanity when everything else feels like it’s crumbling beneath our feet? Can the solution be as simple as fruits and vegetables?

Deceivingly enough, the simple solution is not a pill. While a pill appears to be a small, harmless antidote, it serves as a metaphoric representation of evil. It is white, colorless, and lifeless. Place it next to a perfectly juicy and plump blueberry and physically see the difference. One oozes juice; the other does not. One has life; the other does not. When we eat REAL FOOD, we have life. Real food HAS LIFE. Raw food is life: LIFE-GIVING.

I believe in the power of fruits and veggies to create change infinitely. I often imagine a world where fruits and veggies are growing EVERYWHERE. A healthy nation where everyone is in-tune with their bodies and with the earth and where everyone is truly blissful. I have a dream of living in perfect, respectful, and loving harmony with all living creatures. Do you see this vision? I hope that you do, and I hope that you help me to create it one fruit and veggie at a time. If you struggle with eating raw, take it one day at a time. Start with simply enjoying meals of fruit and enjoying the abundance before you. Watch this transform you, and enjoy this journey. Open your heart to change and LOVE every experience. YOU CAN HELP OUR NATION. I’ll be right there beside you enjoying the same.

I BELIEVE. DO YOU?

How to Afford Eating FullyRaw

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

Money is sensitive topic for many people; I’m going to give my helpful tips. This isn’t about me, but this is about giving you all my knowledge and tips to HELP YOU afford a FullyRaw Lifestyle…because EVERYONE wants to feel AMAZING. So here’s the question: Are you willing to invest in your health? How much are you worth?

Only thing that we truly own is our body… If you don’t take care of your body, where will you live?

When you look at what the average American spends a week on food ($300) a week, you are actually SAVING a LOT of MONEY when you go raw. You can eat the best fruit possible and eat rather expensive, or you can be very minimalistic and eat for practically free. It depends on your approach. Most Americans eat out and spend $10-13 a meal on food. I spend less than $200 a week on food for myself…and I eat quite a bit as shows here: http://youtu.be/sibe0B_JM1w!

I ate Raw in college for less than 100$ a week because I made it happen and because I wanted it badly enough. My health was worth it. I used to spend thousands on medical bills, and now I spend NOTHING. Many of you know that I started Rawfully Organic almost 6 years ago after I overcame hyperglycemia, and it is now a thriving non-profit feeding over 500 families a WEEK. We save families thousands of dollars a year. This is now where I get ALL of my produce. I’m going to show you around my ROC’N co-op, and I’m going to share with you a TON of other ways that you can save money if you don’t have access to a local co-op.

Before we start, I want to share these powerful tips:

Be understanding with yourself.

Prioritize.

Be patient.

Write down what you want.

Figure out EXACTLY how much you NEED to spend.

YOU WANT TO SPEND.

YOU are WILLING to spend on produce.

Plan ahead.

Envision it.

Is your health worth your dollar?

Buying in Bulk

Saving money buying by the case.

Up to 30% discount by doing this.

I get my cases at ROC, but you can even get a discount by asking your local grocer to simply order you some cases. Take advantage of your resources. Shop around to the stores that have the best deals in quantity, quality, and price.

You can even get additional cases of produce in addition to your shares at ROC. Ask me!

Finding local co-operatives like ROC!

If you don’t have a co-op, find Produce Buying Clubs or CSAS. That means community supportive agriculture that supports your local farmer.

Farmer’s Markets

Make Deals with your Farmers!

Go at the end and get the mushy ripe fruit…you may get it for free!’

A benefit of being a part of a co-op is that you’re already getting a direct tie with your farmer at a wholesale price!

Variety vs. Quality

Buy the cheap things in bulk like organic bananas…you can live off just bananas, but try to put aside money for some specialty variety items.

Balance in this lifestyle is key, and it will make you enjoy it more.

VOLUNTEER!!!

WOOFING

Volunteering at local farms. Work in exchange for food!

Volunteer at the farmer’s markets as a part-time job or even volunteer at your local co-op.

Buy what is in season…buy as much local as possible:

It is always cheaper this way!

Buy as Much Organic as You Can

Top ten list of things to get organic: http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/dirty-dozen-foods

Grow your own garden!

Create your own abundance…. Food grows on trees literally!

This is REAL sustainability.

If you don’t have a garden, find a community garden, or perhaps even find neighbors who grow food or who are willing to share their fruits with you.

If you want free food, put in the gardening work and invest in soil.

RICH Soil is EVERYTHING.

RICH soil creates RICH foods, giving you a RICHER life.

Start a fruit picking business.

Dr. Graham once told me that I should advertise in the newspaper to go and pick the fruits off people’s trees in their yard that they didn’t want.

A) You’re getting free fruit

B) You may even be getting paid for it!

Heck, go foraging…there is fruit everywhere when you open your eyes up to it!

Invest in YOUR Health …NO MATTER WHAT…AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

Have to be willing to spend money

Last recommendation: this IS an investment in your health.

You WILL be buying a LOT of produce when you go raw, start juicing, or even go vegan, so learn how to store it properly as to make its shelf life last as long as possible. I made a video called EASY RAW FOOD STORAGE TIPS, you can find that link here as well: http://youtu.be/5hqQCa16crc.

May end up spending more on food, especially if you’re buying organic, but you will be spending LESS on everything else, which includes prescriptions drugs ($$$$$ thousands), less on doctors, etc.

If you have found this to be helpful, please share this video with anyone who may need help in affording living foods. We are here for each other, and we are in this together.

Hugs and love!

Why Eat Fully Raw?

Why Eat Fully Raw?
Click Image to Watch

Kristina from Rawfully Organic and FullyRaw answers your most important question: “Why Eat FullyRaw?”

You know what it is to eat raw foods, but do you know why it is important to be more FullyRaw in your everyday life? Do you know what it feels like to be FullyRaw? I am here to be your inspiration! This video provides the top 3 reasons why eating FullyRaw will change your life.

Everyone wants to be raw, but they don’t know where to start or where to look for inspiration. I am here to do just that. I am going to create a video series where I address all of the most essential questions:

Why eat fullyraw?

What are the steps to eat fullyraw?

What are the challenges?

What are the solutions to the challenges?

How can I be fullyraw and inspire others?

It’s not just about the food, but it’s all about the food. Similarly, it’s all about the food, but it’s not at all about the food. When getting healthy, we have to address the emotional components, the physical ones, and the mental ones.

We may take it out on the food or think we have fallen off the wagon, but these are all growth opportunities and must be seen in a different light. In reality, it’s just putting the food in your mouth, but what emotions lead you to those choices that you are unhappy about?

What emotions lead you to make those choices? Are you living a life of self-sabotaging behaviors and a slave to your succumbed emotions? Or are you living FULLYRAW like you want to live?

Keep in mind you can always go to my website at www.fullyraw.com to see the FAQ page for the basics, but we are going to talk about deeper issues in the videos that perhaps you can share with family and friends to inspire them as well. For those of you in Houston who are associated with Rawfully Organic, use our local resources!

Here are the three reasons why Eating Raw will Change Your Life.

1) Physically:

The food is chemically different. It is composed differently. I won’t get into the hard-core science, but when you cook your food, you denature that food. The food loses vitality and nutrients. Essentially, it becomes “dead.” If you want to feel alive, why eat something that is dead? You want to radiate, and your food is your energy! Processed foods are BAD, contain chemicals, are genetically modified, and are unrecognizable by your body. When you eat raw food, you physically:
- - Have MORE energy
  - Heal
  - Improve Digestion
  - Lost weight
  - Clear Skin
  - Gain muscle Tone/Lose Fat
  - Increase Nutrient Density (invigorates your blood!)

2) Emotionally:

- You will feel confident because you are eating the foods that you finally want to eat!
- You learn to love yourself because you are eating foods that LOVE you back!
- Emotionally healing (Time to cleanse out that bookshelf!)
- NO MORE SELF-SABOTAGE. Please visit my video called “Overcome Struggles Going Raw.”
- Become yourself and confident in your choices
- Food freedom
- Feel GOOD!
- Vitality
- Clear minded- because you are eating so many nutrient dense foods, you are cleansing, you have more power to think better!
- Many times people think they fail because they “fall” off the wagon, but really, the shift takes place that these are growth opportunities.

3) Spiritually

- If you are what you eat, then you will become the life that your food offers. You retain it’s energy, and you feel more connected to the earth because what you are eating is provided for you.
- You develop FAITH because the foods that you are now eating are not man made. You are no longer depending on man, but you are learning to understand and depend on nature.
- You become divinely connected and come back to a place of gratitude.
- Eating foods that are fresh and local connect you to your community.
- You will feel like you are living your life’s purpose. EVERYONE WANTS THIS!

So how do you start? You want to do this, but how do you get there?

The biggest tip that I can give you that I want you to walk away with is that it’s all about the fruits of life. EAT ONE MEAL OF FRUIT EACH DAY. Fruit is color in life. Emanate that color.

Hope that you all enjoy this post and this video! Please feel free to share with others so that we can get the message out there. I appreciate all of your support! Sending many hugs and love!

Raw Meal in 1 Minute!

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

This has been a RAWESOME weekend! Not only did over 450 families pick up from co-op last week alone, but also my EAT IT RAW Class at the Houston Arboretum was sold out! ROCN with fresh, organic produce from our beloved coop, the class addressed questions and concerns about eating a raw lifestyle, and I prepared a three course meal for all who came! My next two prep classes at Sur la Table are coming up in February, and you can check out those events here! You can also see uploaded pictures from yesterday’s class here!

One of the most common fears that I hear from people about eating raw or healthy is that they simply don’t have time. Having been FullyRaw for 6.5 years, I am here to testament that this effort saves time, energy, and despair! For this reason, I have just uploaded a brand new YouTube entitled 1 Minute Raw Meal in which I bring home my co-op box, and I prepare a Raw Meal for you in literally 1 minute! Please check it out and share it! Later on this week, I plan to launch my new website called FullyRaw, which focus on feeding you raw food education so that you can feed your body happy!

I will be featured as a guest speaker on Rawpalooza this week, and you don’t want to miss my interview along with 50 other Raw Food Pioneers in the movement! I am posting new recipes, videos, events, and ideas to our facebook page to motivate you to keep strong in your desires! Please “like” the page or friend me (Kristina!) to get our updates! Join the RAWvolution!

I am having the time of my life building relationships with all of you, and I am honored to co-operate with you weekly! I may bring an abundance of food to your homes, but you bring an abundance of love to my heart! I hope to see you all this week for a hug…or two! Horray!
