A raw food diet is not just a diet, it is a diet that means eating only fresh "live" foods that have not been subjected to any heat treatment. Despite the different opinions of nutritionists and the ambiguous assessment of official medicine, this food system is actively gaining momentum. So what are the benefits of a raw food diet, and why do people choose it?
The raw food diet consists mostly of fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds and seedlings that have not been subjected to any heat treatment. From the point of view of a raw food diet, when exposed to high temperatures, food loses almost all nutrients and is difficult for the body to absorb.
Fresh, plant-based foods store solar energy, which helps satisfy hunger and boosts energy. When cooking or frying, this energy is lost, and the food becomes at least useless. To get at least some nutrients from such "dead" food for the body requires tremendous efforts. And no less effort is required to remove toxins formed during the digestion of this unnatural food.
Yes, raw foodists believe that this type of food is the most natural for a person, because a person is a child of nature, and nature in its original form did not have any pots or pans. And fruits, vegetables and nuts are tasty and nutritious in themselves and do not require any preparation or addition of spices.
Fresh raw food restores the natural intestinal microflora and is absorbed almost completely, removes all harmful substances from the body. Thanks to this, you can get enough of a small amount of food, which in a very short time normalizes a person's weight.
The main source of life is water. Fruits and vegetables are the best way to preserve a huge amount of the purest water without harmful impurities in a hard shell, and they are also very tasty. As you can see, nature has foreseen everything. Cooking food and adding spices to stimulate taste buds is a silly fight against natural human instincts that have become the traditions and habits of humanity.
According to adherents of a raw food diet, it is because of these ingrained habits that it seems difficult for someone, and for someone it is impossible and meaningless to switch to this way of eating and living. But those who managed to overcome these habits and began to eat "according to the precepts of nature" notice an extraordinary surge of energy, easier digestion, independence from meal times and eating habits, strengthening immunity and getting rid of chronic diseases.
