Raw Food Diet

Hello Roger

Thank you for your e-mails and blogs, incredible value! I have after a longer period converted to about 90% raw. Occasionally I eat some rice or pasta to sedate myself. I find everything you said about going raw very true. Increased energy and well being. I go jogging and afterwards never have aching calves or anything as before, whether I do stretching or not. I do however have some problems: 1. I cannot sleep properly, okay I am going trough some major changes and challenges in my life all on my own, so I am stressed out anyway. But even so I do not get in my opinion decent sleep and rest. i would like to ask you what could I eat as an evening raw meal that would facilitate my sleep?
I fall asleep about 1 am and at 3 or 4 I am already awake! If I don't manage to sleep further a little in the morning i feel tired and irritable during the day.
2. Icreased energy is causing me to go into some kind of overdrive,I noticed that my body temp is slightly higher than before, that must my metabolic rate speeding up. Soo it is even more difficult to get to sleep as the body temperature has to drop to be able to sleep well.
I would like to do 'more', socialize more, but most of the people are sooo tired that I often end up alone in the evening at home having to drik alcohol to sedate myself somehow, as I cannot find a way of utilizing my energy in some way in the evening(don't suggest sex as at the moment I have no partner, experiencing difficulty there because my energy seems to somehow burn intimate relationships before they even start. I find most of the men so slow taking initiative it is almost as my vibrations are so fast and crazy that the conflict arises before anything even happens. I don't understand myself really what is going on.). I am working however on moving into an environment more appropriate with my desires, but it is taking time and it is stressful.
Sooo my shopping basket is full of fruit and veg and wine and beer! Can you help with some advice? I'd apreciate it!
Thank you!

Just curious how long you've been genuinely raw. Thanks

I live in Minnesota, bananas do not grow here. Please explain why I would eat a tropical food in the dead of
winter. I just can't wrap my head around that. Would it not be better to eat a locally grown diet, with in reason.For this part of the country that might be apples, pears, cabbage carrots, beets,kale squash. not much fruit in winter.

From RH:

The answer is very simple Judith. We are tropical creatures requiring tropical raw foods to survive. Do animals in the zoo in Minnesota eat only foods grown locally?

Of course, you'd try to feed them as much as possible the foods they could get in their natural habitat. And since humans can't survive in Minnesota without clothing and would not only freeze to death but starve to death with raw foods available in the wintertime in Minnesota — then Minnesota simply is not a natural source of foods or environment for us.

Eat your species specific diet which consists of tropical foods and you'll thrive.
