Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram is always a fountain of inspiration and encouragement for living a healthy lifestyle that features raw fruits and veggies. In this heartwarming video, Kristina shares her tips on becoming more conscious of everything that surrounds the your mealtime. She reminds us that the things we put into our body will be used to produce an entirely new body (in which nearly every cell is re-built) twice yearly!
Kristina’s first tip for conscious eating is consistent with my #1 for life in general: do it with love. Kristina says “Love your food so that it loves you back.”
Her second tip “meditate while eating” corresponds with my advice to meditate always, since meditation is really a synonym for observation. By observing every color, taste, texture and every other aspect of each bite more profoundly, we can enjoy our food more and reap more health benefits as compared to eating the same food with an agitated, superficial mind.
Finally, she advises us to become a conscious consumer. Kristina and I are in total agreement here, that we vote with our money… so we ought to invest wisely to support our health and a sustainable planet.
In this beautiful video, Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram will inspire you to love yourself, reward yourself, forgive yourself. Deep down, we all want to be healthy, but we must be understanding of our human flaws… if ever we give in to the temptation of unhealthy food, self-forgiveness and self-love is a much healthier response than feeling guilty, weak or broken. Here are some of Kristina’s suggestions for getting back to good health as quickly as possible:
Take responsibility: Others may have tempted you but ultimately your own decisions will lead you to either wellness or illness.
Make a list that includes your most profound reasons for wanting to get healthier.
Meditate on these innermost desires to bring back the spark that will ignite you into positive action
Surround yourself with inspiring people and find or create a supportive community
Have fun in the kitchen, making delicious recipes alone or with a loved one
Stay informed through articles, books and documentaries
Use the buddy system for getting healthy together
A supervised fast can clean out your system prior to returning to a healthy raw diet
Move your body for 30 minutes per day or more
Reward yourself with healthy food. Recognise that unhealthy food is more of a punishment than a reward.
Volunteer in your community. Giving feels great.
Be humble, gentle, understanding and patient with yourself
Make a plan for your meals and exercise
Inspire yourself frequently by leaving notes-to-self all over your home
GIVE THE LOVE YOU WANT TO RECEIVE
This is crucial, since it is the love that we give that nourishes us the most. Each of us came to this world to provide a service. When we give the service that we came to give, we are living our dream, and following our mission. When we follow our mission, our body, mind and spirit function as a team. We feel more balanced when we are more balanced.
A tiny plant will push its tiny leaves above ground to absorb some nourishing sunlight. But the plant does not exist to receive. Its mission is to give… perhaps a nourishing food or a potent medicine or a beautiful, colorful, fragrant flower. Find your mission and give that service to the world.

I totally agree with Loren on this point: if you want your body to function optimally, you need to 1. Get clear on what it needs to do so (first cleanse and heal, then nourish appropriately with a raw vegan diet); and 2. Get committed to your health (that means not making excuses for continuing unhealthy behaviors).
En este video, Loren Lockman del Wellness Center de Tanglewood responde a la pregunta , ” ¿qué pasa con el cuerpo humano es comer los alimentos cocinados ? ”
¿Comer alimentos cocinados afecta la temperatura del cuerpo ?
Lo afecta. La temperatura corporal normal es de 98.6 Fahrenheight o 37 centígrados. Pero “normal” significa, no saludable, sino promedio. ¿Es esta la temperatura saludable? No necesariamente.
Cada vez que se pone la comida cocida en su cuerpo, su cuerpo dice “algo está mal” y hay una respuesta inmunologica.
Esto fue comprobado en un experimento hace unos 80 años, donde el mismo grupo de personas en diferentes momentos fueron alimentados con alimentos crudos y cocidos. El resultado fue que, cada vez que una persona se comió los alimentos cocidos, los científicos observaron la condicion llamada leucocitosis, el proceso por el cual el cuerpo envía los glóbulos blancos al sitio de una lesión.
Antes de este estudio, los científicos no sabían de que este proceso se produjo en la digestión, por lo que un nuevo término fue inventado: “leucocitosis digestiva”. Pero esta condicion no se produjo cuando las mismas personas comieron alimentos crudos!
En un estudio posterior, los científicos en Suecia demostraron que cuando cocemos algo, creamos acrilamida, un carcinógeno conocido. Los científicos eran en realidad tratando de entender por qué la gente al trabajar alrededor de este producto químico no tiene ningún aumento de la propensión al cáncer. Los investigadores encontraron que la razón de la falta de aumento del riesgo se debe al hecho de que casi todas las personas se expongan a esta sustancia química a diario!
Si usted está consumiendo carbohidratos cocidos, está consumiendo (según el gobierno de EE.UU. ) hasta 100 veces la cantidad “segura” de acrilamida.
Mientras que el gobierno afirma la existencia de una cantidad “segura” de un agente carcinógeno tóxico, Loren e yo estamos de acuerdo: no hay una cantidad segura.
Loren pregunta “¿esta podría ser la razón por la que el cáncer se ha ido creciendo tan rápidamente ?… Bueno [ la constante exposición a agentes carcinógenos ] ciertamente juega un papel importante. ”
Cada vez que usted come alimentos cocinados, su cuerpo inteligente dice “esto es tóxico!” y responde como si se ha sido envenenado… pero sólo porque, lo ha sido!
Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s CNN Special: Weed uncovers the value of smoked and vaporized cannabis in treating epilepsy, cancer and other diseases. The video still misses the important point that eating raw cannabis is more medicinal and without the risks associated with smoke inhalation.
Dr. William Courtney
According to Dr. William L Courtney, MD, Cannabis is a vegetable and is valuable for both the treatment, and the prevention of disease. Raw cannabis has no psychotropic properties and should be consumed preventatively. Dr. Courtney is fighting to make Cannabis legal worldwide.
Dr. Leonard Coldwell
Dr. Leonard Coldwell says “You could live off of only hemp and never have a deficiency. Hemp and hemp oil is the cure for cancer. It cures skin cancer in 3-7 days.”
