Debra’s Wellness Tips

Regular followers of the Tips for Well-being know my first rule of thumb is always for you to discover what works for you. It is a fact that the same thing is not right for every body. Nowhere is this more obvious than with all of the diets that are endorsed as the best (or only).

So with a healthy dose of encouraging you to be smart about your lifestyle choices, I share a lifestyle option that may not be well known to many.

Fruitarian lifestyle has joined vegan, vegetarian, raw food, Mediterranean, Paleo, and many others. An eight-day Woodstock Fruit Festival is now an annual event…

The eight-day Woodstock Fruit Festival was started in 2011 by Michael Arnstein, a lithe 39-year-old former ultra marathoner who had adopted a fruit-based diet three years earlier. Arnstein has credited his practice of eating almost entirely fruit (as much as 30 pounds a day, as he told the late Details magazine in 2012) to improving his eyesight, lowering his body fat and staving off illness. As a competitive athlete, he had originally tried the diet to improve his stamina and cross the finish line faster, and it worked. And within a few months, he had shaved 17 minutes off his previous personal best time in the marathon. Now Arnstein is a cornerstone figure in the world of fruitarianism, most often considered raw veganism at its most extreme, the kind of diet that makes hard-core paleo and vegan regimens seem like a fast food binge.

Fruitarians make up 75 percent of their calories from fresh fruit, including citrus as well as bananas, apples, grapes, and melons.

This week, make education a way of life. At one time, everyone believed the world was flat. That seems ludicrous to us now. We owe it to ourselves to become ripe with wisdom—in body, mind, and spirit.
