Now let’s see how raw food diet can make a difference…

After all the huge craze about counting calories, the fad of jumping on the soy diet bandwagon, and the nutritional phobias about too much or too little fat, protein or carbohydrates in diets, today, the raw food diet which promises fast and easy digestion has taken off with a big bang and started a huge eating trend. Celebrities, restaurants, food manufacturers, and lifestyle books and magazines are extolling and touting the benefits of detoxing the body by eating such as unprocessed vegetables, nuts, fruits, and even honey.

Raw food diet advocates no cooking, no frying, no baking, no grilling, no steaming, no application of whatever kind of heat. It is grounded based on the belief that eating more uncooked food will reduce the amount of digestive enzymes your body has to produce. Unprocessed natural foods are in their best natural state with the enzymes left intact. Enzymes are needed to perform many functions in the body including digestion, assimilation and elimination of food. A lack of enzyme can result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In cooking, part of the food nutrition which includes the enzymes and amino acids is destroyed. Furthermore, the more food is cooked and processed and the higher the temperature that food is cooked, the more difficult it is to digest and metabolize. Cooked food not only passes through the digestive tract more slowly than raw food, it also tends to ferment, and returns poisons back into the body, making it more difficult for the food to absorb and work on the regeneration of cells. The worst types of foods are those that contain artificial sweeteners and colourings, a truth that not everyone knows, as very often you would hear some people saying, “trying to slim down, take diet cola instead of regular cola, replace table sugar with artificial sweeteners in your food…”

“Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.” Hippocrates, Greek physician (460 BC – 377 BC)

We are what we eat. Over time, our bodies build up poisons and store waste from food that is not fully eliminated, leading to health problems weight gain, a degeneration of the organs, a slowing of the metabolism and premature aging. Food, by itself, has no healing power, but our body has an incredible capacity for recovery. Uncooked, natural foods can give our body the raw materials it needs to detoxify, to create energy, and to rebuild. When a detox process is enabled via eating raw foods, the pressure placed on the lymphatic system, the blood, brain, organs and the entire body is reduced. It enables the body to flush purge out the toxins and put us back on the road toward greater energy, clearer skin and shinier hair, and a slimmer body.
