Products

If you’ve ever heard someone described as a fruitarian, a juicearian or a sproutarian then you may have thought that you were hearing about someone from another planet, but in fact these are people right here on this planet who eat healthy raw foods in a certain way.

A Fruitarian eats mostly fruit. They typically mix in some grains and nuts with their fruitarian diet and they may include tomatoes and avocados which are, in fact fruits. Fruits are very healthy for you and include a lot of vital nutrients that your body needs. Fruits cleanse and flush out the system and don’t have any fats that can clog your arteries. Fruits can be eaten fresh, as juice or as dehydrated fruit.

One problem with a fruitarian diet is that it’s hard to get a lot of protein since a fruitarian does not eat meat or dairy. Needless to say, this diet can be rather limiting and sometimes fruitarians will eat a little bit of other types of raw or natural foods but they do stick to mostly fruit 99% of the time.

A Juicearian is someone who subsists mainly by drinking juice. Typically this is juice that they make fresh from fruits and vegetables, usually organic and not juices you would buy in the store. Juicing is a great way to detoxifyfy your body and many people who eat a raw food diet go on juice fasts which can help cleanse you and they make you feel wonderful and give you tons of energy to!

Nearly anything can be juiced, but most Juicearians use fruits and vegetables along with wheat grass. Fruits and vegetables are a great source of antioxidant vitamins and essential minerals and when taken in the form of juice, are very easy for your body to digest, therefore you’re getting a huge impact from these vitamins and minerals. Wheat grass juice is very dense with nutrients as it is made from raw live wheat grass that has a huge amount of life force energy in it. The great thing about the wheatgrass is that it is alive and growing right until you cut it and put it in the juice, so you are drinking it within a few minutes of it being “picked“. When you think about it, the fruits and vegetables you get at the market have been picked days ago and every day that they are not live they lose vitality. This is why wheat grass juice in juice bars has become so popular and is said to be so healthy for you.

A Sproutarian is one who eats mainly sprouts. Sprouts are said to be extremely nutritious because they contain everything the plant needs to grow, that is, protein, carbohydrate and oil. When the seed germinates these turn into natural sugars and predigested amino acids which the plant then uses as food. When we eat the sprouts, we are eating the life force of the plant which has the energy capable of generating cells. It is for this reason that it is thought that sprouts can help to slow down the aging process.

Sprouts also contain female as well as male hormones and contain the highest amounts of vitamins of any food. Almost any seed can be sprouted. Broccoli sprouts is said to be extremely healthy and they don’t taste so bad either. You could try sprouting seeds at home and some popular ones to try include alfalfa, peas, fenugreek, fennel and celery seed.

You don’t have to become a fruitarian, juicearian or sproutarian to enjoy the benefits of these healthy eating styles. Simply incorporate some of these foods into your daily eating regime and you will see your health and vitality greatly improved.
