    About this ebook

    Journey to Raw is a book that will transform your life.This journey will take one year;the year is broken down into 52 small weekly changes which will help you to add more raw/live food into your diet.You may be asking yourself “why would I want to eat more raw foods.”Here is your answer:

    Weight/diet.We live in a society obsessed with losing weight.If you look around, you can see that diets are not working.If you want to be your ideal weight you need to eat more raw food.The amazing thing about eating raw food is that your body balances out. If you are too thin, you will start to look healthier and if you are too heavy, you will start to lose weight.This losing of weight will continue until you are at your ideal weight.You do not have to be hungry ever, in fact you can eat all day long with this method of eating and your body will just balance itself out.Simply amazing!

    Never worry about calories again! Personally,I eat and eat all day long.Every morning I weigh myself and every morning I weigh the same to the tenth of a pound.Another benefit of eating mostly raw is that your taste buds sharpen.Each morsel of raw food has so many flavors, you will love to eat and lose weight at the same time.You will have the best of both worlds.And the amazing thing is that you will lose your cravings for unhealthy foods.That sugar addiction just goes away by itself with no effort on your part!

    Beauty. Eating more raw foods will make you beautiful! Aging signs begin to disappear, wrinkles become softer,cellulite starts to fade and your skin will glow.When I first began the raw lifestyle,I started receiving compliments within two weeks.I was asked about what I was doing because others could see my skin changing.After a few more weeks eating raw,skin problems begin to go away and acne just disappears.When you wake up in the morning you will look great and you will need less make up.

    Your hair will grow quicker and it will be much thicker.And your hair will shine just like the models on TV!Your nails will be stronger.Chipping and breaking of nails will be at a minimum.

    Energy. In our busy lives we often say that we need more time.Eating more raw food will give you more time.You will need less sleep since your body is able to digest raw food easier than cooked food.Your body isn't working so hard digesting food which gives you extra energy for other things.I read about a woman who wanted to write a book;she was a young woman with small children who had formerly eaten a raw food diet but had moved back into the cooked food world.She changed back to raw food so she would have 2 more hours in her day to write her book!

    Wellness. At healing centers throughout the country, a raw food lifestyle is advocated to allow your body to heal itself. Disease within the body starts to repair with more raw foods in your diet. Brain function improves, memory will be sharper and the fog some of us experience with aging will go away.

    Learning. Learning new things is exciting and makes life worth living. This journey you are embarking on will give you plenty of opportunities to learn new things. You will learn about new foods, discover super foods and find out you can eat chocolate and lose weight.

    Make a Difference. With the information you will learn over the next 52 weeks you can be an inspiration to others. You may even save someone else’s life; you may even save your own life. You will live longer! So commit to making one change per week moving into your new life!

    Journey to Raw makes it easy to begin a raw food lifestyle. With just one change per week, you will gradually add more raw food into your life. And you will quickly start seeing the benefits of eating more raw food!

    Author

    Jean Sumner

    Jean Sumner has pursued an interest in wellness her entire life. An avid runner, she is passionate about exercise, eating healthy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Jean was diagnosed with cancer in May, 2009 and this has only served to fuel the flames of her passions and has encouraged her to learn more about wellness. This diagnosis actually led to the beginning of World Wellness Education with a mission of “Teaching the world about wellness — one story at a time.”As Jean pursued alternative methods of treating her cancer she met countless individuals who had great stories to tell regarding how nutrition, spirituality and exercise helped them to overcome their various illnesses. Since these stories were moving, motivating and timely she thought that each of these stories may make a difference in others’ lives. With the knowledge that we learn from stories more quickly than other teaching methods an organization was born in hopes to make a difference in the well-being of every individual on the planet.Prior to Jean’s involvement with World Wellness Education she was a bank manager. With the significant change that was going on in the banking industry, Jean learned that her staff did much better with change if they took it one step at a time. She has now transferred this learning to the wellness industry and created small weekly changes that one can make which will lead up to a significant amount of positive change by the end of the year.

      I was diagnosed with infiltrating duct carcinoma in January 2005. I had a lumpectomy in my left breast which removed a 1.2 cm tumor with unclear margins. The doctors wanted to perform an additional surgery to remove another tissue sample and some lymph nodes to see just how far the cancer had spread. After doing some research on the importance of your lymph system and after measuring the size of the tissue samples the surgeon had already taken, I decided not to have any additional surgery and forgo any further traditional medical intervention.

      That was the beginning of my journey to wellness. Unfortunately I was thrust by jet propulsion into researching the other way to cure illness and disease, by using alternatives, homeopathy, detoxification, eating a healthier diet and meditation, also known as rebuilding my immune system. I certainly would not recommend anyone get healthy and recover from disease this way, unless it was your only option and last resort.

      The truth is that you don’t have to get disease or illness, at all, if you take care of your body, mind and spirit. Taking care of your body means feeding your body food it will recognize and can assimilate into repairing and making new healthy cells. In this day and age of a need for speedy meals, fast, canned and frozen processed food, eating the way we should can be a difficult thing to accomplish.

      Jean Sumner offers a systematic and simple approach with her already published book, 52 Tips To Be Healthy and her latest book Journey to Raw which are stepping stones, one week at a time to a healthier body, a new you and a new family.

      Jean takes what could be a daunting task and breaks it down into small weekly easy and uncomplicated steps to turn your refrigerator, freezer and pantry into a lively storehouse of nutrition instead of a cauldron of chemical soup. The chemical soup that we put into our body with processed food becomes a sitting time bomb waiting to explode into any number of diseases and illnesses that can be avoided if you can begin to turn around where disease starts, by what you put into your mouth. Jean’s recipes are tasteful, easy to prepare and offer a storehouse of nutrition in the way of vitamins, minerals, proteins and amino acids you body needs to function.

      Journey to Raw will assist you in your journey to a more vibrant body with more energy than you could ever imagine. You can feel and look younger, keep up with your kids, get your kids on a healthy path and you will all live longer, healthier, happier lives.

      Leave the chemical soup behind, pick up both Jeans books and start a new path and a new life, right now! Jean makes it easy and you won’t regret it!
