Are Raw Foods Difficult To Digest, Ep101

October 27th, 2009 Natasha St. Michael 2 comments

I’ve been asked many times if someone who has a weak digestive system would have problems on a raw food diet? With any change of diet, I believe we have to do things with care and perhaps do it one step at a time– but if its done right, raw foods can be great for everyone!

Skin, Digestion, Blood Sugar Issues–Mixing Fruit & Nuts, Ep59

August 26th, 2009 Natasha St. Michael 2 comments

Today I go a little further into the topic of food combining and I talk specifically about eating fruits and fats (nuts, seeds, oils, coconut meat, avocados, etc..). A lot of raw foodists have digestive distress from eating fruits and fats in the same meal, for example the delicious raw dessert that is made out of dried fruits and nuts– that can be a bomb in some people’s stomachs!!! But on the other end of things, adding a few nuts or seeds to a fruit meal can actually stabilize some people’s blood sugar–so what do you do?!!! Well, today I talk about the warning signs from your body that will tell you whether the fruit/fat combination works for you or no.

By listening to your body, you will have all the answers!

Good Digestion & Food Combining, Ep58

Too many people have problems with their digestive system and one thing that can make a huge difference is proper food combining. Today I explain what food combining is and how to use it while eating cooked or raw foods. Just simply knowing what foods are best to eat alone and which foods digest well together can dramatically improve your digestive health and eliminate many problems including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, indigestion, Acid Reflux, constipation, gas and bloating.
