THE NEW DIET TREND

The raw food diet is a diet based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, nuts, dried fruit, and seaweed. Heating food above 116 degrees is believed to destroy enzymes in food that can assist in the digestion and absorption of food.

People on a raw food diet eat 100% raw, uncooked food. There are many people who find this a little difficult (often due to social constraints), so they choose a 75-99% raw food diet.

Eating only raw food is becoming increasingly popular, and could be considered the latest diet trend. People who follow this diet claim that benefits include increased energy, weight loss (or gain if you are too thin), improved skin, better digestion, prevention and even disappearance of disease - and happiness! Many people are turning to raw food as an answer to their health problems.
