Raw for 30 Days
"In Super Size Me, Morgan Spurlock goes on a McDonald's diet for 30 days and shares the harmful health and psychological repurcussions he experiences. He almost “pickles his liver” and comes this close to developing Type II diabetes. Now, there is a documentary about doing just the opposite.
I just watched the trailer for ”Raw for 30 Days”, a documentary about five Americans who are suffering from Type II diabetes. It is now the most common type of diabetes in America and is growing exponentially among children. Type II Diabetes, more so than Type I, is acquired through lifestyle habits (exercise & diet). This documentary illustrates that eating a raw, vegetarian diet can actually reverse the effects of the disease & stop it in its tracks.
The people who undergo the dramatic lifestyle & diet change not only experience an increase in physical health, but also in mental and emotional health. They get in touch with their bodies in ways they previously thought impossible. They learn what it means to have discipline and self-love.
What I like most about this movie (or the little bit i saw) is that it shows so clearly that the benefits you receive from anything are directly proportional to the degree of investment you choose to make. No one else can make the decision for you to get healthier or to change your life. It has to be made by you and it has to be genuine and heartfelt in order for any real transformation to occur.
I hope that a lot of people can get out to see this movie, as there is much to learn from it!! Those who are suffering from health ailments and are looking for ideas on how to make lifestyle changes will especially benefit."
