My story begins with facing many health challenges. I was constantly drained, my joints hurt when I exercised, and I had lots of external irritations. I thought that eating mainly 100% raw could heal me quicker than anything else. I would feel hungry after eating just raw fruits and vegetables so I ate raw nuts, seeds, and even sprouted wheat bread. A while after, I started having stomach pains when I ate most of those foods. Later I figured that I most likely had leaky gut syndrome. I believe my health challenges were related to these problems, so I went to go see a natural health expert. He suggested that I stop eating wheat and gluten products. He put me on a special cleanse to help me heal my body from the damage that had been caused. I didn't know what to eat with all the restrictions I had. This was a difficult time for me in every aspect of life.
Although it was a rough time, I feel that I grew spiritually as my love for living a healthy life unfolded. I prayed a lot and felt a higher power guiding me as I looked for solutions to better myself. I am now eighteen years old, and have healed myself more from eating an abundance of plant-based foods. On my blog you will find healthier versions of classic desserts that you can enjoy without feeling guilty. Desserts shouldn't feel so restricting, neither should food. You will find that my recipes are much healthier than most out there. If you want any advice on how to feel amazing inside and out, then eat a delicious salad a day and a healthy dessert or two that make you happy. Now is the time to feel more free to eat delicious and nourishing foods that heal! It is never too late to start now if you haven’t already.
It was hard at first to not eat the unnatural foods that we are so used to eating in the Standard American Diet (S.A.D), but I used to think that anything unnatural could lead to more health problems. Now my views on eating well have completely changed; I eat nourishing foods because my body feels wonderful and eating fresh vegetables, fruits , and desserts give me much happiness. Also, keep in mind that food does heal. If you desire to begin eating wholesome foods, you need to remember to eat the way nature intended for you. I love to see the way people with great health have a beautiful glow and magnetic energy that shines from them-you can too! Remember, eating for health and vitality is a life-time gig, but after consuming so much nutrients, you feel like you have superpowers. ;)
Here is my list of interests that keep me energized:
- I love cooking and coming up with new recipes. My family says I have taken over the kitchen, but I don’t think they mind.
- I love to spend time with my family and friends.
- I love to read health articles as much as eating raw chocolate.
- I do mixed martial arts. I’m currently a green black belt and I love it!
- My newest love is food blogging. It is so addictive and it has become my passion because I love to share my recipes with others.
