The reason behind this huge conversion is everyone trying to improve their health through adopting better eating habits. We will discuss in detail about why so many people are choosing raw foods diet over cooked food, what are the benefits, and tips on how to start eating a mainly raw food diet.

Health conscious foodies mainly eat 75% raw foods and the strong reason behind is, food stays in the natural state when they are raw and that’s how nature designed them. The raw food is biocompatible with our bodies, making it easier to digest. When food is cooked it generates new compounds which make our body hard to process and digest. This adds to our toxic load to process and makes it harder for our immune system to work effectively. The white blood cells become hyperactive which means that the food is seen as an invader in the body.

Raw foods maintain their enzymes healthy and because enzymes are our life force and our bodies need them in order to absorb vitamins and minerals. Over a certain temperature, the enzymes die when food is heated and it becomes harder for our bodies to extract the nutrition from foods. Raw foods nourish our enzymes store and help us to remain healthy and slow down the aging process.
