Benefits of Eating Raw Food

[linda]

There are many benefits of eating raw food but some these consistent benefits include-
• Weight loss, easy weight management: There are two reasons put forth by those who follow the raw foods diet: that the enzymes present in raw foods help people lose weight, and that those on the raw foods diet eat foods that are naturally lower in calories. No matter what the cause, adherents of the raw foods diet lose weight and keep weight off.
• More energy: Many fruits and vegetables lose nutrients during the cooking processes, especially during boiling. Particular enzymes are killed when food is cooked to a temperature of over 115 degrees Fahrenheit. The combination of eating the raw foods and not eating highly processed foods appears to give people more energy, which is attributed to the high enzyme and nutrition content of the food consumed.
• Improved resistance to illness: Those who eat according to the raw food diet eat more whole fruits and vegetables, resulting in high intakes of vitamins A and C, as well as high levels of antioxidants. This boosts immunity from everyday illnesses; it also lowers risk for serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
• Better digestion: Eating raw translates into eating higher fiber, which improves digestion and elimination processes of the body. While you will probably experience bloating and flatulence while you are adjusting to the raw diet, in the end you will be more regular and have better digestion.
• Healthier skin: Adherents to the raw foods diet claim an improvement in skin clarity and overall health, which they attribute to the consumption of less processed foods, fewer preservatives and chemicals and the consumption of antioxidants.
