How to bring Nuts Alive the Raw food Way
The RAW Facts you need to know About to Energize your New Healthier life
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds contain the genetic potential for starting a new life, and are endowed with sufficient nutrition to sustain their offspring. This, in turn, makes nuts and seeds a powerhouse of nutrition for us, providing beneficial fats, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Nuts have a higher fat content than seeds do, where as seeds tend to be higher in iron. Both contain beta- carotene, B- complex vitamins, vitamins D and E, and calcium, and are excellent sources of vegeterian protein; in fact, by volume, nuts and seeds provide more protein than meat or milk. They contain phytosterols, or plant hormones, that have a structure similar to that of humane hormones and support the endocrine system and all its functions, including reproductive health. Raw nuts and seeds also contain lipase, an enzyme that helps the body digest fats.
Nuts and seeds can help regulate blood sugar levels, and also help clean and strengthen teeth and gums. They relieve costipation, have a “grounding effect, calm nervousness, and strengthen weakness. Nuts and seeds are excellent for bodybuilders, for those who work with their muscles, and for increasing sexual desire in both men and women.
Here are some tips and rules of the Raw food diet to follow:
Nuts help control fat and cholesterol levels in the body.
Eaten in small amounts 1/4 cup or 1 oz
No more than 6 ounces a day total
Soak for 8-12 hours
H20 double the amount of water
Soaking Helps with digestibility
Nuts can be soaked in or out of the refrigerator
Use them for recipes, snacks, in trail mixes, and baking.

Who I Am
Hello, my name is Natalie Pyles. I am a Local Fitness & Nutritional Expert. I have over 16 years of experience in both the Health and Fitness Industry. I’d like to share my Personal story of overcoming my battles with weight loss that began as an early adolescent. I struggled from the ages of 13-18, I realized that I had a severe problem and decided then and there to take action.
I Conquered Weight Loss
I hired a Personal Trainer and Licensed Nutritionist, like myself, and the rest is history. Basically, I learned at an early age, there is no quick fix… only hard work, perseverance, and committment to a healthier lifestyle will guarantee results. I quit looking for the magic solution and got educated.
