Why Eat Raw Food?
The raw food diet is a healthy alternative to eating cooked and over processed foods. When food is cooked it loses most of its nutritional value. Raw foods keep their nutritional value and pass it along to you.
One of the most important nutritional elements of any food item is digestive enzymes. Once food is heated to 116°F or higher all the healthy enzymes are destroyed. This has major consequences on your health.
This food supplies your body with the enzymes it needs to digest and absorb food. If the food you eat is not digested and absorbed by these enzymes it can collect in the fat cells and other parts of your body. This is dangerous as it can lead to diseases and other illnesses.
