Simple Steps To A Raw Food Diet

Why Raw Food?

Raw food experts typically believe that the
greater thepercentage of
raw food in the diet, the greater the health
benefits. A raw food diet is usually equated with only eating raw
plant foods. Depending on the type of lifestyle and results
desired, raw food diets may include a selection of raw fruits,
goji berries, pomegranate, vegetables,
nuts, seeds (including sprouted whole grains such as gaba rice),
eggs, fish (such as sashimi), meat (such as Carpaccio), and non
pasteurized non-homogenized dairy products (such as raw milk
cheese, and raw milk yogurt).

We have a limited supply of enzymes in our body and the only
way to get more is via the food we eat. Without enough enzymes to
run our body as well as digest our food, the body starts to
degenerate and symptoms such as arthritis and other diseases occur.

There is also the fact that
organic food tastes incredible. You need
less food to be satisfied because the food is very high in the
nutrients you need, so you don't need to eat as much to get what
your body needs. This results in your body reaching the weight it
was designed to be and it also causes your body to eliminate all
the toxins it's been holding on to for most of your life.

Another advantage of buying raw food is that while the
preparation time is slightly longer, once the food is prepared,
it's ready to be eaten! There's no cooking time and usually very
little cleaning up time either.

Simple Steps To Going Raw
Raw food is food that hasn't been cooked over 105F,
although some foods can be cooked to slightly higher temperatures
before the enzymes are destroyed.

Step 1: Make a commitment to having a go with raw
food for at least 30 days. This will help you over any sticky
patches in your first attempt. If you can get some support from
your friends or family and support them in turn, this will help you
enormously!

Step 2: One of the first things you need to do is
read up about raw food. Find out exactly what you need to do to
ensure the food you're eating is raw. There are loads of raw food
books you can buy and there's even a list below for Amazon's top
results to help your search.

Step 3: Get your kitchen kitted out with a
blender, a sprouter and some receipe books. If you've got the money
a dehydrator, a spiralizer and a top of the line juicer are well
worth investing in. The juicer that most people love is by
Greenstar because it juices very slowly so it keeps the heat down
and makes sure the enzymes survive.

Step 4: Buy organic food. You'll be amazed at the
difference!

Step 5: Start eating raw. To keep your interests
up, try different recipes from your raw food books.
