The other day I wrote about the fun I had juicing and that started me thinking about my food choices. I am not vegetarian but I try to eat healthy, fresh foods, choose healthy combinations and incorporate some raw food with every meal. Below I have asked my colleague Cherie Strong some questions I had about food and food choices. Cherie is a Colon Hydrotherapist, Kinesiologist, Raw Food Educator and Yoga Instructor. I hope you enjoy her answers and insights! Here is a link to her website in case you have more questions or want some support to start off the new year with new and healthy eating habits. Cherie's philosophy includes a belief that you are your best judge as to what works best for you in the moment. She encourages people to let go of the 'isms' (raw foodism, veganism, vegetarianism etc) and instead opt to create and develop a loving and trusting relationship with your body knowing that your body always wants the purest of foods and often it is to satisfy the mind at the expense of the body that we make choices that are not in alignment with what our bodies truly want. Why is juicing such a powerful practice, especially for cancer patients or those healing from any illness?
