The term natural beauty has been misused and abused beyond restoration. Because there is no natural beauty without 100 natural food the beauty that will emerge on the raw food diet I call Rawsome Beauty. Our external beauty is at its best when our internal organs are in the best possible shape form and color. Beautiful is not something extra the body needs: to be beautiful both inside and out is the natural state of ones body. The vitality of internal organs working properly transcends your skin and brings a radiance to your face. This is when beauty does penetrate the skin. So when we admire sparkling eyes fabulous skin and lustrous hair in a way we are admiring the teamwork of a healthy liver colon kidneys etc. How profound the direct meaning of the phrase "beauty comes from within" really is.
People who have been on the raw food lifestyle for several years begin to have an emerging radiance. The glow is hard to fake because it is basically internal. It comes from an abundance of clear pink almost transparent cells that light up the face. Only superior blood circulation can bring this transfiguring glow. Several years on the raw diet will give you a translucent radiance.
Yoga and the raw food diet offer many similarities in the ways they benefit the body. Yoga books describe the same euphoric experiences I have found in the raw food diet. Both purify and heal the body. Both offer powerful therapeutic effects in dealing with physical and psychological problems. Both promote radiant health.
