Interesting Side Effects!

[Mushy]

Hi there,
I've been mostly (80-90%) raw for a year now, and feel great.... and I've noticed a couple of interesting side effects!
1. This summer I spent a lot of time in the sun, with no cream or other protection, and whereas I previously would've been all sunburnt and peely I only got slightly pink then nicely tanned!
2. The more I eat raw the more I find myself wanting to eat with my fingers rather than use a knife and fork!
Have any of you out there experienced these things (or any others) as well or is it just me being weird?

I really enjoy eating with my fingers too. It somehow makes me feel closer and more in touch with my food just before eating it.

I'm more comfortable also when I'm using my finger to eat my lunch and dinner. hehehhe

I have been going progressively raw for 18 months now, and have experienced similar effects. I have stopped using suncream, and have not burnt, I do take spirulina ans Bio Astin, which give sun protection. I also eat more with my hands & fingers, I have started to feel a bit more like a wild animal!!

A more natural diet like raw food helps your body to defend and heal from sun damage! its the way we are supposed to eat, and the way our body is supposed to work.

Talk about a positive side-effect! I'm only 60% raw hope ill reach 80% before christmas. I'll see if I will also experience the same thing.
