Week One - Online Raw Certifications

Introductory Segment: Basics of Health and the Raw-Vegan Diet

Introduction

This first week's course segment is all about health, and particularly about
becoming healthy on the raw vegan diet. This segment will give you a
well-rounded background of knowledge about health, nutrition, and why the
raw vegan diet works, all of which will be applicable to and useful with all
four of your Certifications.

The first week is dedicated to YOU! Subsequent weeks will deal with you as
Raw Chef, Raw Nutrition Specialist, Raw Trainer, and Raw Coach. But this first week is
just about you as you, finding your own way to total health, and getting you
familiar with all the elements that contribute to your health, including the
raw diet.

In this course segment there are 7 sections. You can study at you own pace,
read the whole 7 sections in one sitting or perhaps read one section a day.
In the first section we will give you scientific backing for the raw vegan
diet so that you can feel secure in your way of life and in later helping
others achieve high levels of health on the raw vegan diet. Next we will
cover the basics of health including Healing Herbs, Juicing, Fasting,
Exercise, Sleep, and Water. We will discuss the Spirit/Soul/Body connection
because total health is not just about the body or accessible through our
physical natures alone. Then we will explore The Nature Connection and how
our own health and the health of the planet are inextricably linked! We will
fully explain Enzymes, Digestion, and The Human Body from a text-book
standpoint so you will have the knowledge that any mainstream nutritionist
possesses. We will discuss Food, Nutrition, and Photosynthesis. And in the
final section this week we will provide a list of Recommended Reading.

Please read the sections in this segment with an eye towards later speaking
on these topics in your community. This is a great way to inform the public
of health issues they don't hear enough about in the media and it is also a
great way to get clients for the raw services that you can offer with the
Certifications. I think its a natural law: What's good for the PLANET is
good for YOU! The world needs so badly to hear about how to be truly
healthy. And the planet needs it too.  Don't worry if you feel uncomfortable about public
speaking. We have lots of ideas to overcome this in the po
