Raw food is food cooked by the Sun and not by us! Eating fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds in raw form retains the powerful enzymes, nutrients, and antioxidants contained in them. Raw food is also easy to digest and leaves no acidic residue. Read on to know more about the benefits of eating raw foods.
Raw food is food that hasn’t been cooked. Fruits, veggies, nuts & seeds, sprouts are a few examples of raw foods.
Why eat raw?
Here are a few reasons to eat raw foods:
Enzymes
Let’s specifically look at how enzymes and raw foods are interlinked. Raw foods are called live foods as they are rich in enzymes.
What are enzymes? – Enzymes are chemical substances produced by all plants & animals, including humans. They are needed to digest food and for various other metabolic processes of the body.
Where can we get enzymes from? – Our body produces enzymes & we also get enzymes from the food we eat.
Which foods are rich in enzymes? – Raw, whole & live foods contain enzymes in abundance. It is therefore essential to include a lot of fruits, raw vegetable salads & sprouts in our diet.
What happens if we eat foods rich in enzymes?
What happens if we don’t eat foods rich in enzymes?
Hence, enzymes are very important for our good health & raw foods help us in getting these enzymes.
Giving up on cooked food to have raw food?
Does this mean we should stop eating cooked foods? Nope, it simply means we should add ample doses of raw foods in our daily routine. Also, when you cook food, try to preserve the enzymes:

Good one !
Let’s encourage Raw Food and discourage cooked food. Further, give up salt, sugar, dairy, oil and the white flour. Also, instead of grains, better go for millets.
