Raw & Living Foods
Enjoy the Health Benefits of Raw FoodsRaw foods consist of uncooked and unprocessed foods, such as raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The raw and living food movement, which has gained an increased following in recent decades, advocates the consumption of these types of uncooked foods, particularly organic raw foods, as a way to promote health and avoid a variety of diseases.
The basic premise of the raw and living food diet is that uncooked foods contain an abundance of enzymes which assist in food digestion and other bodily processes. As our bodies age, our natural enzyme reserve diminishes and digestion of food becomes more difficult. Raw and living food advocates say cooked and processed foods are more difficult for the body to digest and as a result the food remains in the body for a longer period of time, becoming toxic. Raw food proponents believe that a large percentage of our daily diet should consist of raw, mostly vegetarian foods in order to boost our enzyme reserves, improve digestion and promote greater immunity and overall health.
