Raw Food Retreat Costa Rica: Jump Start your way to Optimal Health in Personalized Transition

Aug. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Waterfall Villas is offering a remarkable Jump Start Retreat to achieve Optimal Health by incorporating more Raw Foods into your diet. The Raw Foods movement is revolutionary as well as an evolutionary approach to life that has made vast improvements without medications to a growing population. Making intelligent choices about nutrition is clearly a move away from the standard 50s life style that has accounted for significant increases in heart disease, and diabetes. Changing your life style can be a daunting challenge in the fast paced work environment of today, with frequent peer pressure to hit the nearest fast food restaurant or Deli for lunch. A Raw Food Retreat gives you the opportunity to focus on your own needs, and design a life style that works for you!

Raw Vegan Foods give your body nutrition in its most purest and vibrant form in a virtually fat free manner. It is quite clear to scientists around the world that animal fat and protein do not get absorbed into the body in the same manner that plant sources do.  If you are eating a standard diet today and would like to get to at least 50% raw foods – enough to already have a profound change in your health then A Raw Food Retreat could be just what you need to make the change real.

During a retreat you will be able to try a variety of new and inspiring ways to prepare foods without compromising nutritional value or taste. You will also be served wonderful Vegan cooked meals as you transition with ease into the Raw Food level of your choosing. If you catch colds easily or have nagging allergies or head aches you will see how just cutting dairy and adding more Raw Foods to your diet can help you to overcome all of these ailments as well as help you to loose weight and discover a spring of energy. Blood sugar levels become balanced and you may even clear up your skin in just a few days. This is not a fad – it actually works, and there are many testimonials that are astounding evidence that prove it.
