The most promising is idea of so-called patient advocacy via health care savings programs. The availability and popularity of these programs is picking up year after year, as more and more people, unable to get or afford health insurance, are discovering them for first time. These programs negotiate prices with health care providers on behalf of their members. Since they represent large groups, resulting discounts are usually same that hospitals and physicians give to big insurance companies.

Unlike traditional insurance model, patient advocacy actually encourages people to seek medical help as soon as need arises thus preventing "little aches" form developing into life-threatening illnesses and financial disasters. Monthly membership fee is affordable and no one can be turned down because of a pre-existing condition.

Many of such programs also allow their members to contribute money to medical savings accounts. Federal law makes this an attractive option, because medical savings accounts are tax deductible or not taxable at all, as long as funds are used to pay for healthcare.

On Rawsome Diet, you will marvel at how Master Artist will make most of your individual features and bring balance to entire face. Texture, hues, and shape will be harmoniously arranged into a genteel whole. Perfection and imperfection will be tied together into a unique original version of beauty.

Each time I see a woman, I study her appearance, and I see not just way she looks but way she could look. What I see is how far her image falls short of her potential beauty. I perceive her beauty as it would stand out after body has cleansed itself from toxins and excesses.

From age 15 until recently, I wore my hair permed, only to discover at 45 that straight hair in my natural color was best possible frame for my face. Did my preference change? Not at all. My face did. So let me give you a hint, if you need a camouflaging hairdo, you are not looking your best. The changes in your face brought about by raw foods will bring freedom to arrange your hair in any way you want. When your peer group is thinking: “I am losing my looks”, you will be finding yours. At 45, I enjoy looking in mirror while before I detested my reflection.

As cleansing initiated by this diet is completed, you will be very pleased to see how you were meant to look. Your body will exhibit beauty and dignity. You will become satisfied, even fascinated, with your appearance. When you look your very best, you look perfect, in a sense that you are as close to divine image for yourself as you could ever be. You accept yourself completely. Natural beauty is above conformity; it doesn’t demand to be accepted by dictates of beauty norm.

People who have been on raw food lifestyle for several years begin to have a glow, kind not often seen in middle-aged people. Optimal health is recognized by an emerging radiance. Glow is hard to fake because it is internal. It comes from an abundance of clear, pink, almost transparent cells that light up face. Only superior blood circulation can bring this transfiguring glow. Several years on raw food diet will make you look as though you just stepped out of a painting by Renoir--the impressionist best known for his preoccupation with light.

I have come to believe if you do not embrace 100 percent raw food diet, you will never meet The Most Beautiful You. The best proof that Rawsome diet is optimal for body is it makes you beautiful. Slim face, slender waist, and clear skin with smooth coloration-these subtle changes will convince you raw plant diet is best for good health and graceful beauty. No woman knows her true beauty until she cleanses her body completely of all waste.

You can say there are people who are beautiful, and they are not on this diet. That is true. It is hard to believe, but even they haven't seen best of themselves. Dissatisfaction with one’s appearance arises not from perceiving our bodies inaccurately but because subconsciously we are aware we haven’t achieved our optimal look. The Rawsome diet gives a feeling of authenticity, an assurance we have become what we were meant to be.

Raw food not only corrects beauty’s shortcomings but also lifts limitations of one’s spirit and releases strains and tensions in both your mind and body. People on raw food diet have an aura about them, a transcendent nobility and complacent dignity. Sickness is goodness lost, and our unhappiness is a longing for goodness. One takes in goodness in form of fresh fruits and vegetables and feels its purifying process on inside. Goodness in one’s food summons up goodness in one’s appearance and character.

Do you think it is hard to follow this life style? Women have done so many outrageous and dangerous things to themselves in pursuit of beauty, I believe they should at least try Rawsome lifestyle, which promises to transform them into beautiful people. What a woman won’t do for health, she will do for beauty. This is first time beauty asks no sacrifice from health. ©2003Tonya Zavasta
