Book Reviews of Your Right to Be Beautiful: How to Halt the Train of Aging and Meet the Most Beautiful You
Book Review: Convinced me to go RAW!
Summary: 5 Stars
My boyfriend had recently transitioned to raw foods and kept professing the benefits, along with the "evils" of cooked food and how it had led humanity to today's diseases. I couldn't comprehend how a lovingly-cooked meal could be so bad. I juiced regularly and used mostly whole foods to prepare meals for me and my children, but the whole "raw" thing seemed like an irrationally fanatical step in health that was, basically, pushing it too far. One sunny summer afternoon, however, I picked up this simple-looking red book, which he had brought over, and began reading, as I caught some relaxation in the sun. I was captivated immediately!
I personally enjoy reading-material that allows me to sink my teeth into the scientific principles of the subject matter at hand and, although Tonya has a very scientific mind, which is more evident in some of her later works, she writes "Your Right to be Beautiful" in an engaging, relatable style with her own unique twist of humor and story-telling that has broad general appeal. She intertwines common sense logic with scientific principles and tells her story largely from the desolate and disadvantaged conditions of her home country, Russia. With this as a backdrop, the logic she was trying to convey through her personal stories seemed more penetrable, perhaps, in which certain extremes highlighted what precisely was attributable to certain diseases or insufficiencies in the human condition. On the subject of dairy, for instance, I had read numerous sources regarding research on the human body's difficulty in digesting this food as a protein, but until I read Tonya's anecdote on the subject, had never been convinced of its realities as a dietary compromise and motivated to give it up.
As I contiued to read on, the whole concept of "raw" that my boyfriend had been professing suddenly took on new light, with its depth of logic ripening before me with each chapter I finished. Of course, the real beauty is when you start transitioning to the raw food lifestyle, which this book motivated me to do unlike any other, and see the tremendous advantages of eating "raw" flower before you in your reflection in the mirror. Tonya also makes the most convincing argument for beauty that I've ever heard or read, and highlights it in terms of achieving one's own unique beauty, while dispelling so many of the culturally-inherited concepts of beauty that lead to our demise and confusion as women and as a culture. She further underscores this right, in her captivating story-telling fashion, and paints a world of achievable and "beautiful" realities with the principles of inner-body "organ" beauty, according to what we choose to eat, and how the condition of our inner bodies relates to our outer beauty and how to align both with the raw food lifestyle.
This is one book that I read numerous times over and even gave away to my sister-in-law, Tammy, who lives serveral hours away, hoping she'd be as captivated as I was, as she was struggling with numerous health concerns and couldn't conceive of the food-health relation. What a sacrifice, though, as there's been so many times that I've wanted to refer to this book since and have regretted not having it at my disposal. I'll be sure not to part with it again once I have it back in my possession. Everyone else will just have to get their own copy! Check out Tonya's Beautiful on Raw website for more of her unique concepts on beauty and health.
