Want to know more about the raw food diet?
The raw food diet consists of raw vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds in their uncooked state. Even raw dairy may be included, to that which must unpasteurised but there are also precautions with this and is why most raw foodists leave this out and make their own nut and seed milks but more about this later.
Cooking these foods destroys and somewhat kills the enzymes needed to keep your digestive tract in order and keep you healthy. Cooking also minimizes the vitamin and mineral content in most of these foods that leaves it open to fermentation in the stomach and less absorbency of vital nutrients. Not to mention that fresh produce with pesticides already depletes most of the vitamin content. Organic produce will give you 20 times more the vitamin and mineral content then pesticidal fruit and veggies. If you cannot afford organic fruit then simply wash all your produce more thoroughly to remove its pesticide residue.
You can get your calcium simply by making nut and seed milks. Such as almond milk, sesame seed milk and others such as sunflower seed milk. All you need is a blender, sieve (nut milk bag). Ingredients and how to do it can be found in websites from google search. Demonstrations are also shown on you tube.
People who are on the raw food diet experience a new found lifestyle to which they feel better, are more vibrant, have clearer thoughts and mind, look younger, reduced risk of diseases, cured or prevented most diseases i.e. cancer, balanced hormones, less depression and fatigue and so on.
If this sound like you irritable, tired, low in energy, overweight, underweight, suffer from many incurable diseases, looking old, rough skin etc. Then I recommend you give the raw food diet a go.
However not everyone can do this diet completely and there are programs where you can be 50%-90% raw and the rest cooked. Please consult your doctor before starting any diet program.
The best resources for support and raw food people to look out for are, raw food forums, books, dvd's, Alyssa Cohen, Carol Alt, David Wolfe, The boutenko family, Gabriel Cousens, Leslie Kenton and Natalia Rose. Mosts sites and towns have potlucks. If you search google for these people you will come across a myriad of information for your perusal.
