Raw agave and digestion
I know that raw agave is supposed to be good for digestion, but I'm wondering if anyone has noticed negative digestive effects from it. I've had all kinds of digestive problems over the past week or so, and the main thing that's been different about my diet is that I've been having a lot more agave (in herbal tea) than usual, so I'm wondering if that's it. Any thoughts??

Hmm - I think I'm going to switch back to raw honey, and only use agave for the occasional raw dessert, not everyday in my tea. Thanks for your thoughts!

Might be the excess sugar. I've heard (and somewhat experienced) that too much sugar can upset digestion in the small intestine.

But regular raw cane sugar doesn't have the same effect. So it's either the agave or else something else weird is going on with me.

To be honest I have never seen the process to create Raw Agave... I have seen many creating "Agave" that claim to be raw, but the process is far from raw. If you were eating 100% raw and the Agave was creating a problem, then it just might not be raw, thus the irritation.
Something to consider.
P.S don't believe every label you seen.
Dive into the books.
Cheers,

Yeap! It even had edible sugar flowers around it ^_^ The only thing on the whole cake that wasn't edible was the support beams running inside it :)
Well we are not early man. Sitting on the computer typeing isn't natural. Not sure what being natural has to do with working out.
Jumping rope at a moderate pace seems okay for someone out of shape or for a warm up. If you want it to be an effect...
Check out Dr. Bass' books for a much more concise understanding of his research and findings. I bought his books immediately after watching these videos, and have been reading through them since. :-) Great info, thanks for posting! http://www.drba...

I find it's quicker to make four cuts, scaling the outer skin equally then pulling it away and thumping with a wooden spoon. Plus it's less of a mess and you don't lose any juice because none of the kernels are cut :)

I have been jumping over rope for the past few days, it feels so good, almost every part in the body moves and it gives a lot of flexibility, it's even helping me to do some yoga asanas much better than before.
Is jumping over the rope good for h...
Pomegranate seeds can add fall color to any dish. They are good for more than just their color and flavor, they are full of nutrients, too. Pomegranates are full of Vitamin C, one pomegranate contains nearly 50% of the daily value of Vitamin C. ...
why not? Ginger seems like it mostly goes in those types of dishes but garlic goes with italian and burgers etc..
That looks like a cool place to be!
you look mystical!!
