Raw food diet, Clean eating, healthy eating…
We know that you’ve been hearing those buzzwords all over the place; on TV commercials, TV shows, in movies, in magazines, at your gym, from your friends and family, and so on…
Nine times out of ten, companies use psychological marketing tactics to hype up products, but in this case, this is good hype…
We are totally on board with this movement towards clean eating as it can benefit those that take this rewarding journey towards a healthy body.
Raw food diets are not only for losing weight, they're the foundation to help you live a long and healthy life.
We eat so much in the way of processed food that we don’t even stop to think about what we’re putting into our bodies, and how far we’ve come nutritionally from our ancestral, agrarian roots.
Our ancestors are probably turning over in their graves as they look at how much garbage we consume.
A raw food diet means consuming food in its natural, unprocessed form. There are several common-sense rationales for why this is a good idea. Processing and cooking food can take so much of the basic nutritional value away.
Think of some of the conventional wisdom you’ve heard about for years, such as: If you cook pasta just to the al dente (or medium) stage, it will have more calories, yes, but it will have more nutritional value in it than if you cooked it to a well-done stage.
Or you probably remember hearing not to peel carrots or potatoes too deeply, because most of the nutrients and values are just under the surface.
The raw food diet means eating unprocessed, uncooked, organic, whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, dried fruits, seaweed, etc. It means a diet that is at least 75% uncooked! Cooking takes out flavor and nutrition from vegetables and fruits.
A raw food diet means eating more the way our ancient ancestors did. Our healthier, more fit ancestors. They cooked very little and certainly didn’t cook or process fruits and vegetables.
They ate them RAW. Their water wasn’t from a tap; it was natural, spring water. Maybe they drank some coconut milk on occasion.
Doesn’t it just make sense that this is how our bodies were meant to eat? It’s a way of eating that’s in harmony with the planet and in harmony with our own metabolisms.
Our bodies were meant to work, and need to work to be efficient. That means exercise, certainly, but it also means eating natural, raw foods that require more energy to digest.
Regardless of what anyone tells you, your diet is responsible for at least 80% of what you’ll look and feel like. You’ve heard it a million times, but you are what you eat. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
The conversion from consuming processed foods to raw can be a bit of a challenge. So start slow by cutting out junk foods a little at a time.
The best way to get rid of unhealthy foods is by replacing them with healthy foods you enjoy.
This journey will take some time, but it’ll be well worth it to get all those positive benefits that come along with healthy eating.
Don’t wait, start replacing junk foods with healthy alternatives…
