Each and every day, we should all incorporate raw foods into our meals. Raw foods are still ALIVE, whereas processed foods, cooked foods, and all meats and animal products are DEAD. It stands to reason, then, that human bodies comprised of living cells demand living nourishment for peak health. Many valuable but fragile vitamins, enzymes, phytochemicals and probably other things as well are destroyed during cooking. By adding fresh-as-possible, preferably organic vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts to your diet, you will be greatly enhancing the nutritional value of your eating regimen.Benefits Of Raw Food

The basic tenet of most raw food diets is that food should be live. Foods that have been cooked above a certain temperature (debatably something between 92 and 118 degrees farenheit) are considered dead because the enzymes – one of the vital ingredients that enables cells to function, and that also aid in our digestion – change shape when heated and become useless.

Cooking food destroys the natural enzymes and molecular structure. Our bodies have a limited amount of natural enzymes and these help with the digestion of food when we eat; these enzymes are used up in the digestion process and may become depleted over time.Cooking food destroys the natural enzymes and molecular structure.

The high-fat, high meat diet brings a whole host of problems including high cholesterol, arterial and coronary diseases. Diets that are high in animal products will cause the body to become more acidic due to the way that they are metabolized. It has been shown that various cancers will grow more readily in an acidic environment. The natural pH of the body should actually be around 7.4, but the pH of the body can decrease and become more acidic with a high meat/animal product diet. Eating a lot of meat and animal products also can cause other problems such as constipation, heartburn and reflux.
