The Documentary That Changed My Life …

August 8th, 2008 | Food

I was lucky enough to be one of the 600 people in the Audience at the Bloor Cinema last night in Toronto to watch the documentary - Food Matters.

I’ve actually already seen the documentary, in fact I own a digital copy …but I LOVE it so much and find it SO inspiring that I wanted to see it ‘on the big screen’ this time. And Dr Andrew Saul (who featured in the documentary) was actually there afterwards answering questions. It was awesome.

Here’s the trailer if you haven’t seen it:

Every time I watch Food Matters I’m on the edge of my seat, consuming every tiny fragment of information. It is the most motivating and inspiring film I have ever seen, without a doubt. And as you can see, I can’t rave enough about it.

Today I’m still on a ‘health food high’. I’ve spent the day buried deep in the Internet researching nutrition, alternative health and raw food. I feel like a disciple to some of the nutrition and raw food gods out there, namely David Wolfe, Truth Calkins, Daniel Vitalis and Andrew Saul.

The first time I watched this documentary it was one of those rare life changing experiences for me. I know that sounds a bit over-exaggerated but I swear it isn’t. It’s almost like watching the film made me ‘wake up’ from a dreamy haze of resting comfortably on the border of nutritionally healthy and nutritionally unhealthy.

It doesn’t matter if you have acne, or a skin problem, or any other possible health problem out there …you just cannot ignore the healing power of nutrition. You can’t expect your body to function without any problems if you fuel it with junk. We all know that using premium fuel in our car makes it run better, or using quality materials to build a house makes it more solid ..so why is it any different when we’re building and running our own bodies?
