I greeted the invitation to a “Raw Talk” by Durban’s well-known and respected Raw Food expert Barbara Leiman with curiosity and interest.  I was also bracing myself to a taste of the Green Juice Smoothie.  

Barbara explains that it is important to understand alkaline and acidity levels of our bodies to bring balance.  Integrating a raw food approach helps to create movement to unfreeze high acidity and allow a continuous intake of alkaline to neutralize the body.

Why is this critical?  Consuming incorrect foods and high stress levels puts the body in a dysfunctional state – hence the body is less immune to ailments such as diabetes, high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome and so on.

It is key to have intimate knowledge about one’s body and indulge in continuous conversations with one’s physical, nervous and emotional parts.  Sounds a little strange? However, as Barbara speaks it is clear that the body talks. Our role is to maybe take a moment to stop, reflect on the message and to be open to explore the solution outside conventional methods.

Yes, you guessed it – The Green Juice.  It is uncomplicated and simple.

The Recipe:

Juice of 1 Lemon

3 – 4 apples (preference is green apples as they juice better)

Key ingredients – The Powders (this is the differentiator)

Super Food Powders – Hemp, Moringa, Wheat Grass and Spirulina (tablespoon measures)

 

 And that is it – enjoyable flavours to the tongue – an everyday medicine for any associated body disorders.

What does this all mean? Consciously introducing your body to food that helps in alkalizing the body at anytime in any situation.  Why? To ensure the undeniable wish of humankind, that is, to be healthy, happy and enjoy longevity!

Then there is the choice to enter the adventurous world of conscious eating.  This is a fascinating approach to be regularly mindful to what one eats.  Barbara’s strong message is to listen to your body and be gentle in taking it to the various degrees of change.  The Green Juice Medicine can be consumed multiple times in the day.  But be careful of the detox consequence and do not be too alarmed.  The body will balance. A raw food diet is about eating ‘as close to nature as possible.’  Eating a high-raw diet alkalises the body and brings about an overall feeling of increased energy and wellbeing.

 

The informative evening ended with a tasting of the most delicious raw chocolate fudge.

Ps: the recipe is a secret…but she teased us with an ingredient list like raw cacao, honey, cacao butter and hazelnut butter. Yummy!

 In a poised and gently manner, Barbara’s closing words of her ethic of eating raw is Quality, Organic and Impeccability.

And yes…the Green Juice Medicine…it is a must to bless our bodies with.  Happy Green Drinking…
