Raw Food Diet – Why Should You Eat Raw Foods?
If you’ve been hearing a lot about raw foods lately it’s because people are finally starting to pay attention to what they’re putting into their mouths and the effect it’s having on their bodies. It’s long been known that healthier diets are those that include a lot of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds and are often referred to as the raw food diet.
Raw food diets are not the kind of diet you go on to just lose weight although you’ll lose a lot of weight fast, but a lifetime approach to a better quality of life and superior health.
This makes the body work harder and the raw food community experts believe it’s because the body has to tap emergency enzyme supplies in the pancreas to digest the cooked food. This makes one feel tired and less energetic after eating whereas if you eat living food you feel energized after eating.
You can buy fruit at reasonable prices if you shop farms, farmer’s markets and watch sales in the whole foods stores etc. Or maybe grow some of it yourself if you can or join one of the community gardens! Besides you may be giving up some expensive healthy food in the process because your body won’t have room for it with all the fruit, veggies, nuts and seeds you’re eating!
I’m in excellent health after changing my diet to all raw foods in 1999, curing myself naturally of breast cancer, arthritis, fibromyalgia, acid reflux, sinus infections, digestive problems and many other ailments.
Try changing your diet to include more living or raw foods even if it’s slow-going and you’ll start to see some wonderful changes in your health. You don’t have to eat an all raw food diet to enjoy great health. Soon you may find that besides loving feeling great you really do enjoy raw foods.

I am not a big fan of raw foods. Agreed they are good for your health, but they taste horrible. I’d much rather risk my life.
