The Perks of the Raw Foods Diet

Making the green choice to eat all natural is the new rave these days; except, how raw can you eat? Will you attempt to eat root vegetables like sweet potatoes and perhaps barks of maple trees along with beef that is ultimately plucked right out of the ground?

Nonetheless, the raw foods' people are consuming spicy cold fresh meat and fish and unpasteurized milk along with uncooked eggs. They also eat heaps of crisp vegetables and fruits every day.

They assure their meals are prepared without being cooked because they vouch such foods are devoid of nutrients. They fail to realize eating cold foods require extra digestive enzymes for digestion.

Food must always be warm in your stomach in order to assimilate and absorb the nutrients in the blood.

• A healthier alternative is to create dishes with invigorated fruits and vegetables, and quality protein that is nominally cooked like eggs. Except you should eat chicken, fish, and meat fully cooked. You should also munch on at least 7 small servings of quality fruits and vegetables every day to feel stronger. This I feel is the optimal way to heal a sickness lurking in your body.

It is better to keep a dietary balance, a sort of 'diet equilibrium'. It's best not to consume fresh root vegetables and uncooked meat or poultry. Realize farm-raised fish is the worst and so are pasteurized dairy products and processed eggs products.

I believe eating too much-cooked food is unhealthy. There must be a balance. Besides, many raw food protein choices and grains are technically difficult to chew. And this might lead to bacterial poisoning and tooth decay.

The reason a raw food enthusiast is eating in such a dramatic way is that he believes uncooked food will make him healthier and strengthen his organs. There is a bit of merit to this since it has been proven by The American Cancer Society that fresh foods contain naturally occurring antioxidants. This proves they contain more vitamin and mineral content than cooked food.

Cooking destroys the enzymes in food! Enzymes are the catalysts that help with digestion and the assimilation of nutrients. Cooking naturally introduces added toxins to your meal, especially when food is overcooked, fried or barbecued.

The following lists of foods are found particularly beneficial in helping to improve the liver; except, notice raw meat, and uncooked fish are not in this meal picture!

Apples and apple juice, artichokes, beet leaves, beet juice, carrots, fresh carrot juice, cauliflower, cherries, cranberries, dandelion and green tea, endive, garlic, gooseberries, grapefruit, grapes, grape juice, peppers, lemon juice, olives, olive oil, orange juice, plums, pomegranates, radish juice, raspberries, sesame seeds, spinach, strawberries, tangerines, tomatoes, turnip greens, walnuts, and watercress.

The optimum foods for desirable digestive health are protein in the form of living grass feed meat, beef, lamb, or goat, fish with fins and scales caught in deep water like salmon, halibut, tuna, cod, sea bass, and sardines. The finest fats are coconut oil, coconut butter, extra-virgin olive oil, oil, flax-seed oil, cod-liver oil, avocado; raw goat milk butter, and pumpkin seed oil.

Eating a lot of organic cultured dairy products such as yogurt and kefir made from goat's milk will help to heal your digestive wall. Unpasteurized fermented vegetables like sauerkraut and raw vegetable juices made with a combination of wheat grass, cabbage, onion, celery, beets, lettuce, garlic, cucumber and all types of greens will keep your digestion at peak performance.

• The Top 10 Healthiest Foods to Strengthen your Heart are fresh fruit, beans, and legumes, cold-water fish, dark leafy greens like spinach, avocados, whole grains, wheat germ, flaxseed, and nuts.

You may believe it’s too complicated and time-consuming to eat a raw diet and prepare every meal from scratch; however, it is not burdensome if you have a blender, a juice machine and know how to combine fresh vegetables and fruit. You can drink your vegetable and fruit drink between meals.

Raw-food does spoil fairly easily! You must preserve raw food right away since it will quickly perish. The best way to keep raw food is in a cool refrigerator or freezer; including nuts, seeds, and grains.

There are a few awesome, raw companies that are creating delicious prepackaged raw food such as the raw protein super food bars by Raw Revolution that do not need refrigeration. They have an excellent taste and are loaded with naturally occurring nutrients that are easily absorbable by your starving cells.

You'll discover raw nuts and raw seeds in packages like the sprouted, raw pumpkin seeds by Go Raw.

Another is an organic raw berry bar by Pure Bar. These bars have a healthy label since there is a minuscule amount of heat used to make these foods with no preservatives or additives. This is pure packaged healthy raw food at its finest!

Raw-food goes rancid quickly because the enzymes in the live food begin to break down through oxidation. This spoiling lets you know that the food is alive and filled with live enzymes, and you now know it will do a fabulous job in providing nutrients when eaten. It will also provide live natural vitamins and minerals to your body chemistry, and allow you to enjoy superior health.

What is your take on this new raw-food rave of eating? Can you stick to it for an extended period of time to feel its energetic health benefits?
