Question of the week with Paul Nison
(Please e-mail any questions you have to paul@Rawlife.com)
(We will do our best to reply to all questions in a timely manner.)
Question of the Week:
Is it hard to be social on a raw food diet?
Answer:
Any transition is a challenge, but the more you get used to it, the easier it becomes. The longer you are on a natural diet, the easier it will become to handle social situations. Without even looking, you will find a new group of friends who will feel the same way you do about being natural. More likely, they will find you first. You will have such a good time with natural people who think the way you do, that you’ll have very little time for unnatural people in your life. In time, your social life will be more rewarding than it was at the beginning of your change. I have a CD on this topic that has helped many people. To view the CD click here.

Exercise and Sleep (From my Blog Entry)
Today’s blog is about a very neglected subject that many healthy eaters do not get enough of, rest and exercise.
I am excited to write often for my blog, but have to remember not to put my health in jeopardy. People have asked me for years how I find the time to write so much. I would go against everything I believe and preach about health, just to write another article or one more page of a book. I was sleeping and exercising less to write more, keeping up with e-mails, etc. But no more! My health is more important.
However, there is no need to worry, because now that I’m eating less food than I ever have, I require less sleep. In my book “The Formula for Health” I reveal the answer to making sure we get enough sleep, not wasting energy. What does waste mean? If we don’t need to use it, why do we? Years of overeating and eating too late at night have led me to need much more sleep that I was not able to get. Now I have the time to get the amount of sleep my body needs, 7 to 8 hours a night (before, I think I needed 9 to 10 hours, even on raw, that’s what eating late and over eating does). So that takes care of the important sleep issue, but what about exercise?
This one is where I had to make an even bigger sacrifice. I’ve always loved exercising. I spent most of my teenage life and twenties in and out of gyms, outside exercising or some form of a sport to keep fit. But as my passion and knowledge grew about health, I would wake-up in the morning and be so excited about writing that I would rush to my computer and start writing!
After years of rushing through a quick workout, knowing I could and should do better, I’ve realized older age is not the only reason people tend to put on more fat or flab and start feeling aches and pains that they never felt before. One of the main reasons is they become so busy in life that they forget about exercise. They use the excuse that they don’t have time for exercise. Many of us have more valuable things to do with our time as we are older; kids, work, etc. However, sitting in front of the television should not be one of the things that steal our important exercise time.
I’ve always been into schedules. I believe they help us stay on track. Some time ago, I made a time budget and it has helped me so much. Being at home makes it is easier for me to stick to this schedule. Traveling makes it a little harder, but in time I will figure that one out.
You take your most important activities and make sure they are in your budget. For me, the most important activities are reading the bible everyday, spending quality time with my wife, exercising for my own health, and after all that, I can play around with the rest. But these are things I need everyday.
I used to get up and run right to the computer to work. Now, before 9 a.m. is my time. That’s the time I can do my personal stuff. Depending upon what time I wake up will determine how much time I can give myself. If I wake at 8:50 a.m., I’m not going to be too happy. I want to make sure I get enough sleep so I find this to be the most motivating reason for me not to stay up late at night.
So, I get up in the morning, exercise and eat my first meal. Usually before 9 a.m. Then at 9 a.m. I am refreshed and ready to work.
One thing I realized is that many people are living off adrenalin and exhausting their adrenal glands. They are feeling great, doing a lot of exercise, but this is not good if you are exhausting your adrenal glands in the process. This leads to many issues, from low hormones or severe fatigue. The first thing I do in the morning is some relaxing exercises to get my body ready for the day. Other than my “No-dinner Diet,” and nightly dry fast, the biggest changes I’ve made in my life have been taking time to relax!
So how do I relax? I’m going to tell you things that help me relax; three I try to do every morning and night.
1-The Nun Ancon Chi Machine
The Sun Ancon Chi Machine offers you a full body massage, including internal organs and all body systems. A 15 minute massage is estimated to be the equivalent of walking ten thousand paces (about 90 minutes), in terms of body oxygenation. If used with proven relaxation techniques, there's no limit to the potential scope of healing and fitness enhancement for the body and mind.
After just spending 3 days at a friend’s house using this machine, I was more relaxed than I have been in years. Now, after using it everyday, first thing in the morning and right before going to bed, I am convinced every one of all ages and fitness levels can benefit from this machine. Not only does it help me calm down, but it also helps my body eliminate toxins and provide essential benefits of sporting and fitness programs without putting stress on the body such as vertebrae joints, heart and lungs, and without depleting body energy levels or causing injury.
2-The Infrared HotHouse (FIR Dome)
This is another machine I use at the same time as the Chi Machine.
The HotHouse is a little dome, that produces it's effect through radiant far infrared rays of heat, also known as "FIR". Its unique arched design increases the thermal effect received by the body. The radiant heat enhances my body's natural functions. It enhances my blood circulation, increases my metabolism, and stimulates the health of my internal organs. I do both the Chi machine and HotHouse Dome after I wake in the morning
3-Rebounding
The third thing I like to do every morning is rebound. Jumping on a rebounder (mini trampoline) helps me wake-up each day and stay fit. It’s a great combination of an aerobic and strength workout. It also is less stressful on the body than jogging. I now have rebounders for sale on my website. Click here.
I usually us the chi machine and hot house for about 15 minutes and rebound for about 20 minutes each morning, and then I lift weights and do core exercises for about 60 min.
So that’s my morning exercises. Of course I like to mix it up and will sometimes bike, run or swim, but that’s the main part of it. I have researched for a very long time to find an exercise program that is gong to give my body the workout I need, but while having a gentle impact while not just working out and running on adrenalin, but truly helping my body cleanse and rebuild.
At night time before I go to bed,
1-Electro Reflex Energizer
When I was a teen-ager, I remember hurting my lower back playing at the beach lifting someone in the water. I was going to the gym everyday up to that point, but after I hurt my back, forget about the gym, I had trouble walking. Each step was so painful. I went to a chiropractor once a week for about a month. Each time he had me lay on my stomach on a massage bed and would put these electric pads on my lower back. In about 10 or 15 minutes, my pain went away.
After four weeks, I was better then ever. At that time, I really didn’t care much about what he did, I was just happy I was better and can get back to the gym. Recently, I was introduced to the Electro Reflex Energizer machine, an instrument that helps reconnect broken or damaged electrical circuits within the body by stimulating it with the correct wave form, current, and frequency. When there is pain in the body there, is electrical resistance, meaning the electrical signals between cells are suppressed. My body felt the same comfort from the Reflex Machine as those electric pads. I’m not sure they are the same thing, but I can tell you anyone who gets a foot massage feels amazing. Reflexology also helps to relax the body. This machine also helps break up tight muscles, great for the end of the day, it relieves any pain (I used it after painting my house and it helped so much) and produce over all excellent health. It is even known to kill parasites and worms in the body. Consistent use of the ERE can help restore the flow of electricity through the painful area so that circuits remain turned on and healing can be promoted.
After using the Reflex Machine, I stretch my body a little. Then I take a nice little, or sometimes long walk, with my wife. This is something that I never really did before. I never walked unless I had to be somewhere or I wanted exercise and it would be brisk walking up a hill or something. Now, it’s a nice stroll. Not only does it give me time to spend with my wife, but it is also so relaxing. If my wife isn’t there, I do not use a radio, I just enjoy the peace and quite. Growing up in the city, I never walked anywhere with out headphones in my ears. And while we are on the subject of the radio, I must be getting old because I have found listening to classical music the must beautiful relaxing thing in the world! Something I never imagined I would enjoy has now become an important part of my day. Whenever I’m using the Hothouse Dome, I listen to classical music. It also helps me think and when I’m working all day, I listen to classical music at my desk.
If you would like any more information about these machines I mentioned above, for the rebounder click here, and for the other three machines click here. You can see a great video that talks about these machines. They are the best investments I’ve made in my health in a long time. After viewing the video if you are interested in making these great investments in your own health call me at 561-337-9299 and I will get you a special price and answer any questions you have. You can also email me at paul@rawlife.com
I can not forget to mention every morning and night I skin brush to help cleanse my body and the most important thing I do daily is read the bible right before going to sleep.
So I spend about 1:45 min in the morning and about 1 hour at night taking care of myself. I am more refreshed, mentally focused and more productive. If I am not able to find the time to write every day, or if it takes 2 years instead of 1 year to come out with my next book, now you know why.

I keep hearing the question about protein, and have answered it a thousand times. By far, the best protein from our food is found in vegetables. Sprouted beans and grasses have the easiest and most protein. Of all the sources I found and use the most are hemp products.
Every morning, I drink hemp milk, or a hemp smoothie. On my salads at lunchtime, I add more hemp (seeds or oil). It is a wonderful food. I am excited that I am now able to offer these hemp products at my web store at www.rawlife.com. Hemp seeds by themselves are great, but in a smoothie they may take some getting used to. Most people cannot enjoy bland foods the way I do. I don’t consume high sugar foods, but I have a great recipe for a hemp drink that you all can enjoy.
1 cup water
½ cup hemp seeds
1 table spoon Maca powder
2 tables spoon raw carob powder
1/2 teaspoon cambu powder
½ teaspoon bee pollen
Stevia to taste
sea salt to taste (optional)4 large ice cubes
This drink is a powerhouse! I do not personally use the carob, but if you need a sweetener you can try that. I don’t suggest bananas or other high sugar fruit. It will give you bad gas.
Another thing that hemp has is essential fatty acids. Many raw fooders seem to miss this one. I also think flax is great for EFA’s. Flax seeds and oils are great, but I found a wonderful flax powder you can add to your shakes, smoothies, or just sprinkle on your salad.

Health According to The Scriptures
Environment
Our health and joy can only be as good as our environment.
In this week’s lesson from the Torah, Yahweh tells Moses “Command the people of Israel to remove from the camp anyone who has a skin disease or discharge, or who has become ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person.” Numbers 5:1
If we let unhealthy or unholy people hang around us long enough, we can catch their diseases, or even worse, we can start to think like them. Unhealthy and unholy thinking is just as bad for our health as unrighteous or unhealthy living. The issue in this week’s Torah is not about a contagious disease; it’s about why the person got the skin disease in the first place. All disease is in one-way or another, the result of not being obedient to Yahweh’s instructions. Not being righteous and holy.
No matter how far we stray or how sick we have become as a result of our straying, if we repent, Yahweh will always take us back. But He will give us the time we need to think about what we have to do. That is the only true way to repent. It is not a quick “I’m sorry.” Sometimes we have to suffer as a result of our actions to help us grow. The punishment in this week’s Torah might seem like it was a disease of the skin, but the real punishment was taking a person who gossiped away from the people to be alone. It is very painful for a person who loves to spread gossip not to have anyone to talk to.
Sometimes people have to be alone to realize and take responsibility of the result they caused in their life and others. I remember when I was sick with Ulcerated Colitis. I would always blame everyone else. One day, when I was on my bathroom floor crying “Why me?” I realized my actions of not being obedient to Yahweh’s diet instructions played a huge part in my sickness. I didn’t even know what his instructions were at the time. The real issue was that I didn’t care to learn or know Yahweh’s health instructions and guidelines.
Yahweh commanding for us to be alone is not really a punishment, but sometimes it is a blessing. It helps us not cause more damage to others and ourselves. It also gives us the time to reflect on the damage we have created and what we can do to make things right again with our health both physically and righteously.
On a daily basis, renew your mind. Understand that each day is a new day. Yesterday is the past; all that matters today is today. We are called to be obedient children in holy living 1 Peter 13.
-----------------------------------------
Prayer Request
Yahweh answer's all our prayers. Ask, obey and receive the blessings that follow. Send your prayer requests to paul@rawlife.com.
We have just received a prayer request for Talmadge and his son.
Prayer From Jeannie:
I am trying to convert over to raw. The support from this and other sites is helpful. I'm asking for prayers that Yahweh would provide the resources and ability to carry this through in the way He intends with the results He intends!
Praise Report
Yahweh hears and answers our prayers. See this exciting answered prayer below.
Last newsletter we had a prayer request for Ken to heal from a fall off a ladder. We have a "Praise Yahweh Update" as Ken continues to heal from his fall and is relatively pain-free and getting around.
Please continue to keep Ken's recovery in your prayers.
We have another praise report from Jeannie's children. My children are learning about raw food and love helping make raw food "blends". They enjoy much of the raw food over cooked food and are wonderful little chefs!" Jeannie also bought a juicer and is enjoying kale with many other greens for the first time in her life.
