3 Benefits of a Raw Food Diet

3 health benefits of eating raw:

1. Enzymes: Cooking food destroys most of the natural enzymes that are needed to break down nutrients and digestion. Think of enzymes as the little worker bees of your body that are involved in everything from delivering nutrients to your brain to balancing cholesterol levels.

2. More BM’s: That’s right, bowel movements and who doesn’t feel great after a quality bowel movement? The late Dr. Jensen who wrote the book Guide To Better Bowel Care believed that toxic bowels were truly the root cause of disease. Eating raw means you automatically get more fibre. Fibre softens stools and is an excellent way to help the body more effectively detoxify.

3. More energy: Although there is no scientific, placebo-controlled study to back this up – do we really need science to tell us that eating raw wholesome foods will give us more energy? No way. I know first hand when I focus on eating more raw foods, I have more energy and my skin glows. I see this everyday with my clients who make a choice to eat “real” foods.
