For this week topic noncommunicable disease we saw a video about reversing diabetes naturally.
It is an interest experience, specially because last week i been heard a lot about the raw movement, even in the framer market of Santa Monica last Sunday there is a place that just have raw food.

My main question is is it sustainable? I am afraid that some people like the ones we can see in the video think htat they have found a solution for their problems and this migth not be real. It is a possibility and I hope we can get more information about the long term effects but what happened with some patients given up their treatment or even with their mind thinking that they could manage the disease and maybe this is just temporary.

Marina,I believe it is sustainable, if you just keep up the eating habit. Of course in this video, these individuals were at a facility where they were provided their meals everyday. Their environment made the process a little easier, since they had no other options to eat.
But talking from experience, being on a raw food diet can be difficult to maintain for many reasons, for example, temptation, financial, access, or lack of creativity. Even to begin the diet and make it a habit is difficult as we saw in the video.
But once someone makes a committment to change, this type of diet can do wonders.
I currently have 4 friends that have been on a raw food diet for about 2 years now. They are extremely healthy and active people.
I believe one can definitely reverse diseases such as diabetes, but it will definitely come back if you revert back to the same eating patterns as before. So it is temporary if you choose to do the diet on a temporary basis. If you really want to make changes, I believe you have to make it a lifetime decision.
I was actually on an 80% raw food diet myself, and during that time it was the best that I have ever felt. My reasons for not sticking to the diet anymore is simply because I started to hang out with more people that weren't raw, therefore it was hard for me to maintain my raw food eating habits. It was my own weakness and addictions to cooked food. But for 1 year I maintained the raw food diet. I constantly tell myself that I want to move more towards that kind of diet, because I know the positive effects it had on my body. It is definitely possible, but I just have to be diciplined about it. I think mostly during the time I was on the diet, it was because I had a strong support network. During that time most of my friends were either on that diet or were striving towards it.
look out for something on my blog on this.
yaneth, thanks for your comments, I really have no idea of this diet until last week. I sound that it works for the person and also has good health outcomes, both things are great.
I look foward in you blog to see more comments on this.
