Raw foods are foods that are not processed and are in their natural state. There are several common sense rationales for why this is a good idea. When foods are cooked at high temperatures or processed many essential nutrients are removed. Contemplate, some of the comments you may have heard over time. If you cook pasta just to the “al dente”(or medium) stage, it will have more calories, yes, but it will have more nutritional value in it than if you cooked it to a well done stage. Perhaps someone mentioned to your that if you peel carrots too deeply you will remove many of the nutrients that are close to the surface. Even worse, when foods are processed toxic chemicals are often added, in addition to the nutrients that are removed. Eating a raw food diet can be of considerable help to people on a rapid weight loss diet. You get more nutrition per calorie consumed with a raw food diet, and you avoid toxic chemicals that can make you fat.
Since the cooking process removes many nutrients, when you stop cooking foods, your body get more of the nutrients it craves. A raw carrot has far more nutrition than a cooked carrot.
When you cook foods, particularly at high temperatures, you change the food chemistry, and this inhibits the process of digestion. Why do we have so many digestive problems? The reason is that we are eating so many foods that our digestive systems are not equipped to handle. High fiber, fresh, natural foods, will go a long way towards improving the health of your digestive system. Bowel problems are reduced and blood flow is improved to all body cells. Improved circulation of blood is important because blood delivers nutrients and removes toxins from your cells.
Obesity has reached epidemic levels. The diet and weight loss industry has grown at a torrid pace. To a large degree, this is due to the manner in which food is processed and prepared. Many psychiatrists inform us that are eating habits are caused by underlying psychological problems. Even though the stomach may be full, the body is hungry for the nutrients it craves. When you start giving your body the nutrients it craves, overeating will cease. For this reason, a raw food diet can help you to achieve quick weight loss.
Consuming raw foods will increase your metabolic rate too. More energy is utilized in the digestive process, but far more nutrients are received. A raw food diet will keep you from ingesting so many toxic chemicals, that impede the functioning of your liver and kidneys.
You will start to receive more of the nutrients your body requires, and your body will no longer be craving them, thus the amount of food you consume will decrease. A nutrient poor diet will cause your brain to signal the rest of your body that it needs more food. The brain and the rest of your body don’t need quantity, they need quality nutrition.
