Starting the Raw Food Diet

But why would I want to start a raw food diet? This is the first question most of us ask.

Oh there are so many reasons to switch to a raw food diet. This lens will tell you about some of the best reasons. People get the notion that they will be chowing down on celery and apples all the time. But there is so much more to living with raw food. Taste sensations will be a treat once your palate is not numbed by sugar and other such useless foods.

What Cooking Does to Raw Food?

Cooking strips nutrients and vitamins out of food. You are missing essential nutrients in cooking all food.

Cooking changes the chemistry of foods and this can make them hard to digest. This might be why we have so many digestive problems in this day and age. We're not designed to absorb cooked foods. High fiber gets rid of the curse of constipation of the bowels, cells and circulatory system. Obstructions are removed and blood flow increases to each and every cell in the body.

Better blood flow delivers nutrients and oxygen to living cells, and carries away their toxic metabolites.

Raw Food and Obesity

If those are not enough reason, then what about obesity. It has run wild in the 21st century. Part of this is that the mush we eat makes us overeat. Our bodies get hungry because it craves the missing nutrients.

Oh yes -- eating raw foods boosts your metabolism because it takes more energy to digest them. The body's energy is no longer wasted getting rid of toxins but in feeding every cell.
