Why Raw?

There are a lot of reasons and ideas around raw foods. Here are our beliefs surrounding the raw foods lifestyle. We came across raw foods  from a customer at one of our farmers markets. She asked us if we make raw foods and desserts. We knew a little about this style of uncooking but once we started reading more and more we couldn’t get enough. We loved everything about it.

Raw Foods:

Food that has not been heated over 118 degrees, although we prefer to keep it below 110 degrees. Foods that are uncooked, unheated, and untreated are alive and living.

Raw Foods Benefits:

  1. Maintain Enzymes – keeping enzymes intact, not cooking them out, will improve digestion because they help break down food.  Enzymes are the power of life. They direct every activity in your body.
  2. Complete Nutrients – foods retain their highest levels of phytonurtrients and vitamins that help nourish the body.
  3. More Alkalizing – Most people are highly acidic which is where most chronic health conditions thrive. Greens and lemons are the most alkalizing foods you can eat.
  4. Improved digestion – digestion is more efficient which allows more energy for other bodily functions.
  5. Clear skin – everyone wants glowing youthful skin. Eating raw foods your giving your body what it needs to repair, rebuild, and heal.
  6. Increase energy – no more caffeine. Eating foods that are easily digested provides your body with energy to do other things.
  7. Better mental focus and positive energy because you are doing something great for you and the environment.
  8. Can pronounce everything in the food you eat
  9. Less likely to get sick because your body has all the nutrients it needs to fight infections.
  10. And you saved an animal.

This is a very quick over view on the benefits of raw. As you take on your journey of the raw foods lifestyle you will see these are common benefits that others found out too. Some people that we learned from our David Wolfe, Ani Phyo, Kimberly Snyder, Lori Painter, Kristen Suzanne, Brendan Brazier, and Yuri Elkaim. These people are truly amazing and offer great knowledge of why RAW.

We look forward in sharing more reasons why RAW here at Pure2Raw.
