Raw Food Diet

Raw Food Diet

The raw food diet is anything but a new concept. In fact, raw food has been at the center of many diets for hundreds of years, of not more. A raw food diet consists of foods that are as near to their original state as possible. The food that makes up a raw food diet is never heated to temperatures high enough to break down the structure of the food – a fact many believe to be to your body’s benefit. Raw food diet recipes generally include a combination of vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts, legumes (in the form of sprouts and peanuts), and some grains that can be eaten after soaking in water.

The primary reasons for following a raw food diet are weight loss, better energy levels, and better systemic performance, including the cardiovascular, immune, and digestive systems. While there is still a fairly limited body of research on the topic, plenty of anecdotal evidence suggests that raw food diet benefits are genuine.
