Quantity versus Quality

I have come to realize that the quantity of the food we eat is just as important as the quality of the food we eat. Regardless of which diet you follow, the quantity of food that you eat will affect your health either positively or negativity.

Overeating raw, vegan, or vegetarian foods is very unhealthy for you. Most people feel that a raw food diet is the healthiest diet you can eat, but eating raw can be unhealthy if you overeat.

It takes a lot of energy for our body to process the food we eat, especially if the food is cooked. If we constantly stuff ourselves with more food then our body needs, we create disease within the body. If you want your diet to be a really healthy one, you will need to  eat just enough food to satisfy your needs.

When you are in the beginning stages of including more raw food in your diet, I suggest that you don’t worry about the quantity of food that you eat. But, as you continue to eat a mostly raw diet, you should naturally see your eating habits change. You don’t want to eat a ton of nuts all day, everyday; this is not healthy. Eventually, you want to start leaning toward more fruits and veggies and less nuts, salt and oil.

As you advance in your diet, you’ll want to move on to eating smaller portions.  I believe that this alone will add years to your life.

It is great to eat high quality food, but a waste to overeat it.
