In our conversation, Natalia discusses the importance of a cleansing diet for beauty, and shares the secrets she teaches her clients on attaining beautiful, glowing beauty.

In the foreword for Natalia’s book Raw Food Detox Diet, Steven Pearlman, M.D. , Cosmetic Surgeon, addresses the importance of a cleansing diet to maintain a youthful look. He states, “Not everything can be accomplished by surgery, peels, and injections. Additionally, Frederic Fekkai a celebrity stylist and beauty industry pioneer says, “I believe that natural, healthy living is the secret to inner and outer beauty. There is no question in my mind that health maintenance must be at the core of any beauty regimen.

(SR): What is a cleansing or raw food detox diet?

(NR): A cleansing diet uses raw foods to cleanse and detoxify. This is a lifestyle which is simply bringing us back to a more natural way of eating. We are using foods (primarily raw fruits and vegetables) to remove the waste matter that has accumulated over time from an unfit lifestyle (eating processed foods, smoking, etc..) and removing it from the body. Processed foods deposit unnatural food additives in the form of toxins into our body causing premature aging, and loss of energy and vitality. When our bodies build up these toxins and poisons from food that is not fully eliminated, raw, cleansing foods help to detoxify our systems by flushing out these toxins and setting us on course toward clear, glowing skin, shiny hair, a healthy weight, and vibrant energy.

My clients use green vegetable juices, food combining rules, and lots of raw salads while forgoing heavy dense clogging foods. The principles are easy to follow as you are still eating delicious, convenient and deeply satisfying foods such as a wide variety of seafood, high quality grains, root vegetables like sweet potatoes, avocados, raw goat cheeses and much more!

(SR): Is it possible to change our skin and hair through the foods we eat?

(NR): Absolutely! When we remove the blockages that exist because of the accumulation of unfit food wastes we allow the life force energy of the fresh foods to flow through the body. Perfect weight and a youthful appearance are the result of clean, waste-free cells. Healthy glowing cells produce healthy glowing skin and hair. Dark under eye circles, cellulite, and dead skin all come from a body not receiving the life force of fresh unprocessed foods.

Fruits and vegetables nourish our cells and do not leave residue behind. Adding these fresh, healing fruits and vegetables to our diets awaken the old matter and help release it. However, it is very important that when one begins a cleansing diet they are helping their body eliminate the old waste through colon cleansing, dry skin brushing and sweating. You are cleansing ONLY if the waste is leaving the body.

When the body is clogged the body cannot receive the electro-magnetic current that makes it beautiful, vibrant and healthy. Kids have vibrant skin because they have not accumulated the waste matter that adults have over the years of eating processed foods that are clogging the body.

(SR): How soon can someone expect to start seeing the benefits of a cleansing diet?

(NR): You will see immediate benefits when you start lightening the burden of digestion by following the principles outlined in my books (proper food combining, quick exit foods, green vegetable juices, raw salads). You will notice benefits anywhere from the first meal to the first few days definitely measurable improvements by the first week. Your tissue quality will improve right away. As the cells cleanse the skin tightens. This is the only way for those carrying lots of extra weight to ensure that their skin will be toned and taut when they lose all their excess weight because your skin will actually tighten up as new, healthy cells take the place of old, imbalanced, toxic cells.

(SR): Does someone need to be eating 100 percent raw/cleansing foods to reap the beauty benefits?

(NR): The goal would be to try to eat 75% cleansing food and 25% foods that are not. An example of a daily eating plan would be:

Breakfast - Green vegetable juice

Snack- fresh fruit (amount can be adjusted each day based on desire)

Lunch - a large raw salad with a whole avocado and a baked sweet potato

Dinner - Non-cleansing meal that will support the program like cooked vegetables with fresh fish (ideally starting with a green/raw vegetable salad for best results)

For those eating very few if any cleansing foods now, simply ramping up your intake of raw fruits and vegetables to achieve a 50% cleansing food diet will create visible improvements.

(SR): What kind of transformations have you seen in yourself and clients who’ve adopted this lifestyle?

(NR): I’ve seen incredible transformations. One of the most amazing was a woman whose facial structure actually changed as she cleansed. It’s very common to see dark circles and facial puffiness disappear. All of the typical reasons people visit dermatologist resolve themselves such as dry skin, pimples, eczema, premature aging, and wrinkled skin.

(SR): How would you differentiate a raw food diet from a cleansing diet?

(NR): Raw food insinuates you are eating only raw foods heated below 118 degrees; however, a raw diet typically (not always) includes a lot of dense nuts, seeds & dried foods which are not actually cleansing foods and can be much more clogging in the body than light cooked foods like steamed vegetables and fresh fish. Cleansing implies that you are eating in a way that 1) awakens old waste and 2) are attentive to removing it (through colonics/enemas, body brushing, sweating, etc.). A raw food diet does not ensure that you cleanse (it’s more like a “potential cleanse).   Basically, cleansing is an active method of removing the accumulation from all those years of eating foods that the body could not fully eliminate. Cleansing encourages the use of high vibration fruits and vegetables without excluding high quality cooked foods like fish, steamed veggies, sweet potatoes, and raw cheeses.

(SR): Can we reverse the damage caused by eating unhealthily in the past?

(NR): Yes, when we remove the waste through the dedicated implementation of a cleansing-regenerating diet with the support of skin brushing, sweating, colon elimination, you are able to undo many years and even decades of damage.

(SR): Do you have a favorite recipe that includes lots of beautifying ingredients?

(NR): Lately this has been my favorite salad:

5 ounces of baby romaine lettuce

1 cup of chopped tomatoes

1 clove of diced garlic

3 packets of stevia

1/3 cup of lemon juice

3 oz of raw cheddar style goat cheese, grated

Sea salt to taste ( optional)

Fresh basil (optional)

Fresh rosemary (optional)

Simply place all ingredients in a mixing bowl, toss well and serve! Don’t hesitate to eat the leftovers the next day, it gets better after a night of marinating in the juices!
