A raw food diet is one in which at least 75% of food consumed is not cooked (above a temperature of 115F). The consumption of "living" or raw food has myriad benefits. Here are three.
Benefit 1 - Rapid Weight Loss
People who eat a raw food vegan diet experience rapid weight loss. This is due to the fact that the vegan diet has a lot of fiber and few calories. The fiber gives you the feeling of being full, hence people on raw food vegan diets eat their fill and yet drop pounds.
Benefit 2 - Improved Health
Besides the obvious health benefits of weight loss (reduced likelihood of heart disease and diabetes) there are many other ways that eating raw food improves health. Cooking food destroys many of its beneficial components such as vitamins, good bacteria and enzymes. Raw food eaters find digestion much easier and have reported improved energy levels and better skin quality.
Since raw foods don't have preservatives and have significantly less sugar. Eating a raw food vegan diet can make a marked improvement for your overall health and well being.
Benefit 3 -More Environmentally Friendly and Ethical
The vast majority of the meat consumed comes from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO). These industrial operations are notorious for very unethical animal treatment, significant environmental degradation and disease. An organic raw vegan diet is a vote against a system that is unhealthy, unethical and unfriendly to the environment.
Vegans should make sure to supplement their diets with B12 since it is only found in animal products.
Make the change, look better, feel better, be healthier, and treat the planet better. Enjoy a raw food vegan diet.
