Raw Food Diet The health benefits of Going Raw Many people today are asking about a raw food diets and what they are Before I started eating raw foods many years ago, I had never heard of it. It's a vegan and vegetarian diet that consists of raw, unprocessed, living foods - foods that are alive. 

These are plant foods such as fruit and vegetables, herbs, nuts and seeds along with dried raw nori or seaweed and sprouts. The best diet available to human beings is the raw food diet . Animals never cook their food and we shouldn't either. However that's how most of us were brought up and it can be hard to change from our established diet. However many have done it including me.


The health benefits of a raw food diet are many. There is a natural weight loss that goes on when one is eating raw foods . There is much increased energy and lack of fatigue, better digestion, healthier looking skin, hair stops falling out and gray hair seems to be delayed. There is a much lower risk of heart disease because one is no longer eating animal foods such as meat, eggs, cheese and dairy - foods that help contribute to a build-up of plaque in the arteries leading to myocardial infarctions - the medical term for heart attacks.

There are no trans fats or animal saturated fats in this vegan diet . It's high in many good minerals and trace minerals including potassium, and magnesium. It's low in sodium too. You get a lot of folate, fiber and phytonutrients, which are also called phytochemicals that help to boost the immune system.

Digestive issues seem to melt away when eating living food. Heartburn, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, excessive gas and bloating are eliminated. Constipation and diarrhea are a thing of the past. Elimination is easy and natural .

This raw food diet is the best way to lose weight and is a natural detox and cleanse, cleansing your colon and liver, making their work much easier and giving you more energy because the body is not working hard to digest meat and cooked food that doesn't have the enzymes to digest it, having been altered during cooking.


Although fruits and veggies contain a lot of water make sure to drink plenty of pure or spring water throughout the day .

Even some celebrities are lovers of raw foods including Woody Harrelson, Carol Alt and Alicia Silverstone.

Why not give a raw food diet a try. You can make up your own diet plan and get raw cookbooks or uncookbooks as we call them, and whip up some easy, organic, gourmet raw recipes. You can make raw crackers, smoothies, cookies, pies and all sorts of desserts too and every bite is healthy.
