Stocked up on juices for the next couple of days from Juice Generation in West Village. Did you know that natural juices stay fresh for 3 days in the refrigerator? After that nutrients start to deplete… So you can imagine what Tropicana is made off by the time you purchase it… sugar!!

Yes the thought of Alzheimer’s Disease might seem like something you don’t need to worry about, especially if you’re young… but there is no harm in prevention is there? Here are a few tips to keep in mind… Actually sat next to a researcher in this area at dinner last night and it got me thinking, so wanted to make us all aware of the things we can do early on.

1. Have Strong Social Support: Findings indicate that an active social life and strong network of friends may help prevent Alzheimer’s in later life.
2. Eat More Fruits & Veggies: A population-based cohort study of 1,836 older Japanese-Americans found that consumption of fruit and vegetable juices was associated with decreased incidence of Alzheimer’s over seven to nine years of follow-up.
3. Reach for Berries: Berries contain high levels of biologically active components, including a class of compounds called anthocyanosides, which fight memory impairment associated with free radicals and beta-amyloid plaques in the brain. Eat berries each day for maximum benefits.
4. Daily Folic Acid Intake: Eat foods high in folate. High levels of homocysteine may be associated with poor cognitive function. Some findings indicate that reducing homocysteine with folic acid may increase cognitive function.
5. Control Your Blood Pressure: Hypertension appears to be associated with an increased risk of both vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

We all remember Alicia Silverstone from Clueless, such a classic movie… but nowadays she has dicthed the the valley girl accent, for a strong voice that helps grow the vegan community. She is all about ”The Kind Life” and I agree with her. We should be kind to our bodies, ourselfs, and others – whether they are humans or animals.

Do you have the urge to erg? I did on Saturday… The snow was covering the city (yes in October) and I decide it was best to stay inside. Went down to the gym around noon with my boyfriend and mixed up my workout routine with a little rowing. Used to be on the crew team in high school and college and totally forgot how hard it was. The machine literally works every bone in the body, including stomach, back, arms, legs, butt (like), etc.

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light.

I play about 10 minutes of the audio book version on my ipad everyday.

Do yourself a favor and try to live in the now… and not the past. Appreciate the moment and what you currently have…

Happy Halloween everyone!! What were you??

Sofia & Rickard, thanks for coordinating an amazing evening.

Where did the name Raw Clarity come from? Well incorporating raw foods in my daily diet meant much more than just providing nutrients for my body. It made me see life from a clearer perspective… It unclogged all the blocked areas so that my mind could focus on the important elements in my life.

Haven’t been that good with twitter, BUT ready to get started. Follow me if you’re interested in some extra motivation… @RawClarity

Orlando Bloom & Miranda Kerr did… Green juice baby!
