Fortunately
for those of us newly interested in eating organic and raw foods, there are
lots of products out there. Natural and organic foods used to be found only in
natural food stores, and those could be few and far between. While not as
ubiquitous as McDonald’s, there ARE many more stand-alone stores. And the
grocery chains are catching on too, with more organic selections than ever
before. If you don’t see them in your grocery store, just ask. You’re probably not
the only person in your neighborhood who’d like to see more of these options.
Many
grocery stores now feature sprouts and other living foods in the produce aisle.
Of course, if they don’t, there’s nothing easier to grow for yourself than
sprouts!
There
are also tons of sites on the Web where you can order raw and living foods.
Just do a search on raw foods and you’ll come up with a lot of different places
to order the foods you’d like to buy. Many of these sites are also full of
useful information, to help you learn about eating raw foods, and help educate
you on the specific food values.
What
else? Experiment with what you like. Take the time to learn a little about what
the different nutrients in foods do for you. A few examples:
Cabbage
– High in Vitamin C; important for healthy cell function
Shitake
mushrooms – contain essential fatty acids and antioxidants to support a healthy
immune system
Kale
– Rich in fiber and helps reduce calorie intake with less hunger. We like that!
Barley
– Loaded with niacin, fiber and iron and is important for healthy blood sugar.
Pumpkin
– So rich in fiber and vitamins; helps reduce appetite by filling the stomach
with indigestible fibers
