My Natural Hair & My Raw Plant Based Diet

I have been keeping record of the changes I have been having, since choosing a plant based lifestyle. I mentioned these changes in a previous  blog called " Change is Good".

However,I am noticing other positive changes as well, mostly my hair. 

About 5 years ago I went natural, meaning I choose not to relax my hair. 
However, my diet still consisted of meat and dairy. And about 11 months ago, I quit smoking  cigarettes cold turkey, but I was not eating correctly.

Up until recently, I've noticed a lot of growth in my hair, and nails, and how smooth my skin is. It’s amazing. 

I plan to document my hair

growth, using my own hair mixture.

I have been experimenting with some herbs, and will also share some natural hair gels recipes, lotions and creams...
 You can make at home.

I am very excited about this new journey.

Another noticeable change in my body is,I don’t feel sick anymore after eating, I don’t feel bloated, like I use to feel after eating a totally cooked meal. 

I often wonder why I had not done this long time ago, gone raw or vegan, but just as quick as the thought enters my mind; I just shake it off and remember, it’s was just a moment in time.

You know better, you do better.

Mingz Plant Base Diet

Today was an excellent day, me and my daughter made our way to our local farmer’s market.

FABULOUS!!!!!

I purchased, a crate full of red apples, mangoes, oranges, and kale paid 50$ for it all…

I am not sure at this point how much money or how much more I will be spending converting my family totally raw.

I believe the cost will be high when it comes to purchasing the more reliable blenders, and juicers.   

However, the cost does not matter to me at this point because the long term effects of eating unhealthy cost more.

 

I am very excited about this journey…

So far I have found some really cool videos one is this
