Who's more healthy........

Date: February 20, 2007 07:12PM A tri-athlete (someone into riding like Tour De France or a marathon runner...etc.) who just eats a regular diet (SAD) or someone who's a rawfoodist (rawvegan) but doesn't move a bone when involving exercise? 
Why Vegan? Because I have the most love and admiration for all animals of the earth!!! a rawvegan hopeful, rawdev4life!!! Re: Who's more healthy........

Date: February 20, 2007 08:57PM You need both, good food, good exercise, otherwise you get incomplete benefits.
Exercise (weight bearing especially) is particularly important as we age because we need it to fight sarcopenia (muscle wasting) and osteoporosis (bone wasting). What is the good of having a perfect diet if you are all hunched over and skinny fat due to lack of use of your muscles? Re: Who's more healthy........

Date: February 21, 2007 01:17AM I would hypothesize that they could be equal... I guess we wouldn't know unless the two groups were tested.
BUT, I also think that when one is a triathlete, one eats pretty healthy; and likewise when one is a raw foodist and past the physically-weakening detox period, raw foodists tend to get moving and not live a sedentary lifestyle. Re: Who's more healthy........

Date: February 21, 2007 01:41AM I'll add that if a person is whole and is unable and/or unmotivated to exercise regularly and at least somewhat strenuously, it might be due to a SAD and toxic diet. On the other hand, it might also be due to a raw vegan deficient diet. I believe both are possible.
Of course there's lots of other reasons why people don't get enough exercise, like for instance just not really knowing how important it is, regardless of what a person eats. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 02/21/2007 01:53AM by suncloud. Re: Who's more healthy........

Date: February 21, 2007 04:15AM seems to me that when one is cooked, exercise becomes an EXERCISE
painful... and not gonna do the trick of transforming blood to the way it oughta be anyhow whereas when one is raw, there is no such thing as exercise its just movement.. play... breathing.. fun stay away from the habit of pitting an OR this OR that that is the way the world would have us think truth of the matter is: u can have it all if u really want it Re: Who's more healthy........

Date: February 21, 2007 04:24AM So true.
My usually fit husband after having some cooked food, got all puffed and huffed and couldn't do his usual butterflies at a swimming centre. Myself, after being sedentary for several months, I finally went back on my bike, and commute to uni, at the moment 3 times a week, about 1 hour each way, 6 hours total per week. And, insanely, I love it! My body feels like a super-power engine. But give me cooked, and I get all floppy. My kids love to jum on the backyard trampoline. Odys commutes on a bike to school. Julia is a little dynamite. Raw power is not just a slogan. Gosia

Date: February 21, 2007 04:35PM My experience:
-Of course, why choose between sight and hearing!? Ha! ha! Those are both necessary! So balance is needed. But I sympathize with your question. -My experience is that a person CAN be more fit and healthy while eating poor foods.......but in the end.....a person with a firm commitment to eat well will be healthier in the long-run. One just CAN'T keep putting in inferior fuel and expecting the car to run well in the long run.......even with superior maintenance. What do you think? -David Z. Mason Re: Who's more healthy........

Date: February 21, 2007 07:03PM well-i am always not right-lol...but i think being totally raw or raw is not the only answer to better health.I mean it is a way.but if a sad diet person...did not eat fast foods but salads from fast food places and they drank bottled juice with no sugar and whole grain breads and did not partake of alot of fats and meats-even if some stuff was cooked.i think they could still be healthy.if someone was in the tour de france...i am sure they would know something about nutrition.i am sure they would know that their bodies did need good nutriton.exercise is pretty important.so i don't really know the answer.taylor Re: Who's more healthy........

Date: February 21, 2007 11:24PM Well, if I was subjected to one of two kinds of torture, with an option of chosing which one, the first being eating cooked foods only and the second not being able to exercise, I think I'd pick the latter one, because I would find it unbearable to stand the first one. The second one sounds pretty cruel too. Oh dear.
