Salt, Fasting and Exotic Fruits, A Deep Dive with Khepra Anu, Episode 216

Six Weeks To Fitness

Have you ever thought about eating raw food as opposed to cook food? Khepra Anu is a Raw Foodist, and author who has dedicated his life to sharing his knowledge of the power that the Live Food lifestyle combined with systematic fasting has on the body. Over the past 20 years, he has hosted numerous health retreats in the U.S. and internationally, during which he guides participants through his unique approach to repairing and detoxifying the human body through the scientific and mechanical application of coconut water, fresh juices, and living food. During the interview, he will discuss his early childhood growing up in Monticello, New York into a very religious family. It was during that time that he first learned about a very profound scripture from the Bible in Genesis 1:29 that stated “Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” After reading that scripture his eyes were opened and he never looked back. He realized that we should be eating more of what God made and less of what man-made. He also mentioned the great Dick Gregory, who also planted a seed the first time Khapra got to hear him lecture, “he was the one who opened up the Bible and said, this is, you know, we supposed to eat this way.”

Our conversation delved into various aspects of nutrition, particularly focusing on raw foods, salt, and fasting. Khapra emphasized the importance of consuming a wide variety of foods, including exotic fruits, fatty fruits, and salty fruits like olives, to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients. He discussed different types of salt, favoring Celtic sea salt and real salt over Himalayan salt due to concerns about its quality. The conversation also touched on the benefits of fasting, particularly coconut water fasting, as a way to detoxify the body and allow it to heal naturally. Retreats focusing on holistic health experiences, including sun gazing, meditation, yoga, and coconut water fasting, were highlighted as opportunities for deep rest and rejuvenation. Overall, the dialogue underscored the importance of embracing natural foods and lifestyle practices for optimal health and well-being.
