Eating a raw food diet means eating a vegan, plant-based diet for your health. Nothing says raw foods like fresh, whole foods that are plant-based and ready to eat. You don't have to be a chef to eat a raw food diet.
Basically a vegetarian diet, the raw food diet promotes eating and drinking ‘living’ foods. Living foods and juices contain the maximum amount of fiber found in raw produce, fiber that can be lost in processing. Such foods are easily metabolized and tend to be lower in calories than the average diet.
Raw food diets are based on unprocessed, and uncooked plant-foods, preferably organic, such as a variety of fresh fruits and vegies, nuts and seeds; grains, dried fruit, and fresh juices.
Essentially, the idea of a raw food diet is to eat unprocessed foods, for at least 75 percent of the time.
A diet of at least 75% raw food offers numerous health benefits, such as increased energy, improved skin appearance, better digestion, weight loss and reduced risk of serious illnesses like heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
If the idea of raw food isn't very appetizing to you, you can warm the food a little, just so long as the food isn't heated above 116 degrees fahrenheit.
