Is extremely high in nutritional content such as vitamins, minerals and even proteins. Making raw vegan food is made easy when you have a guide book for instructions, especially when you are beginning. Try some raw food recipes and see the changes that the vegan lifestyle can make in your life. I have a feeling you will be pleasantly surprised.

What if you’ve tried every diet there is? Been told it’s all down to your genes? Lost the weight – put it all back on ( and more!) again? You probably think that Diets don’t work and – you know what? – You’re absolutely right! They don’t. They give you a mindset that it’s only temporary so they set you up to fail as you only return after to your pre diet way of life. Maybe a better approach is to look at a different, whole new way of eating and living? A Raw Food Plan!

* Not a restricted way with less to eat.

* Not a boring repetitive menu each day.

* Not costly and taking an age to prepare.

But actually quicker, cheaper, tastier, simpler and just the way food was meant to be!

Did you know that the usual Western diet is “dead”?

* That cooked food is devoid of nutrients, enzymes and life energy?

* That many people are actually allergic to cooked food?

* When you cook food above 180f you destroy enzymes that are there to help us digest our food. This means your body has to work harder to extract nutrients. This wears us down and compromises our immune system. Heat causes unfavourable changes in food and your body was not designed to metabolise these. By cooking food above this temperature a pathogenic response in the body called Leucytosis takes place whereby the white blood cells ( immune cells ) are actually used to digest foods much as they would attack foreign substances.

* Only Humans cook food – have you noticed!

By eating more raw food you leave these enzymes intact so you can digest food easily and well and extract, absorb and benefit from all the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs.

A traditional diet contains much meat, dairy and wheat and is very acid forming. This is a dangerous state for your body. Some medical practitioners actually believe cancer thrives in an acid state. A Raw Diet, rich in whole fruit and vegetables does exactly the opposite and creates an alkaline environment where nasties cannot survive.

Other benefits of following a Raw Food Plan rich in organic wholefoods, fresh fruit and veg, nuts, seeds and sprouted seeds and grains is that it means you will

* Quickly reach your optimum weight and shed fat faster.

* Gain lots of energy and need less sleep.

* Have more glowing and healthy skin tone.

* Have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

* No longer suffer constipation – with the high levels of fibre some eminent medics believe this can help prevent some forms of cancer.

* You won’t be hungry as you can actually eat more! It just means you are eating foods that satisfy you more and pound for pound contain less calories.

It also happens to be a very ethical eating plan. Buying lots of local fruit and veg helps the local farmers and producers.

It will take a little time to get used to. No more ready meals straight from the freezer popped into the microwave! No more “fast food” of the burger & fries variety but plenty of the even faster food you don’t even have to cook! What a variety too – foods you’ve probably never tried before.

A Raw Food Plan that has been well thought out and researched can prevent you from making mistakes and guide you through potential pitfalls like eating out and dealing with well meaning friends who don’t understand etc. It’s good to be guided until the new way of eating ( Not diet! ) becomes a habit – your new “normal” way! This takes, usually, about twelve weeks. A good plan also needs lots of

recipes for meals as well as delicious juices and smoothies else you can get in a bit of a salad rut and get bored!

Following such a plan could well leave you feeling more energised and lively than you have felt for years and rather slimmer too. Why delay any longer!

No, it’s not the dress that makes you look fat! So depressing, but you knew the truth really! Discover for yourself – the easiest diet for losing weight and gaining more energy is to Eat Raw Food. Today, I will tell you something about this simple Raw Food Diet that has given life back to thousands of people like you, by empowering them to eat healthily in as little as twelve short weeks, and often sooner. By following the right healthy eating Raw Food Plan you could lose ten, twenty, and even thirty pounds while dramatically improving your health and vitality!

You often hear “you are what you eat”, but what does this really mean? Well, simple really! When we eat Raw Living Food full of life and energy, we too gain lots of life and energy. So, what foods are we talking about? A Raw Food Diet! This diet generally includes foods such as beans, dried fruit, fresh fruit and vegetables. Freshly made fruit and vegetable juices, grains, and the milk from young coconuts, nuts and seaweeds plus sun-dried fruits. Probably a greater variety of food than you eat on a regular basis at the moment.

So, instead of searching for miracle, energy or superfoods, your goal should be to eat a diet that consists of foods that contain natural energy that vibrates at a higher energy level. This means eating more Raw Living Foods. When food is Raw and uncooked it keeps all its innate energy and all of its vitamins and minerals too. So, when you eat Raw Food you will be giving your body direct energy from the ultimate source – the sun! As most of these foods will be plant based the sun is where they get their energy from.

Raw Food has a higher water content and more fibre. This helps you feel full for longer and stops you wanting to snack unhealthily beteween your meals. After all, when did a sandwich really fill and satisfy you?

Can I ask you a question? Have you ever noticed that wild animals do not suffer from obesity, cancer or the other diseases that now plague humans. These wonderful creatures are as nature intended them to be; healthy and fit and suitable for survival. And guess what? That’s what nature intended for you as well! But what is shocking and awfully sad is that when animals are taken from their natural wild habitat and domesticated they begin to show the same symptoms and diseases that affect most humans and they often get horribly overweight too.

So, another question for you! How would you like to be able to go back to your old wardrobe and be able to put on those tight fitting clothes you used to wear well. Or have energy you’ve only dreamed of and a new sharpness to your mind. By following a delicious, tasty and energising Raw Food Diet you soon can. You need to follow a well researched Raw Food Plan at the beginning as it can be a real lifestyle change. But what results! Go and see for yourself!

I am going to supply you with knowledge about the essential nutrients needed for optimum health and longevity, several of which are ignored by mainstream nutritionists.
Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 17th edition defines nutrition as, “All the processes involved in the taking in and utilization of food substances by which growth, repair, and maintenance of activities in the body as a whole or in any of its parts are accomplished. Includes ingestion, digestion, absorption, and metabolism (assimilation)…” As you may gather, consuming the needed nutrient does not guarantee that the nutrient will be assimilated by the body.
Many people on this planet are aware that proper nutrition is essential for good health and that inadequate nutrition is associated with poor health and disease. Yet the corporations that control the majority of the food sold in markets are getting away with supplying very low quality products. Corporations routinely package and market foods based on their shelf life and taste rather than their nutritional value. Seed variations are selected for ease of growing, harvesting, transporting, and processing rather than nutrition. Adding chemicals to achieve a longer shelf-life is commonplace and the overrefining of grains is ubiquitous. These practices contribute to inadequate nutrition which leads, intern, to ill health.
Have you ever had someone tell you that they have a chemical imbalance? Consider the idea that they are suffering from an essential nutrient deficiency; do you believe that a pharmaceutical can supply the missing nutrients?
Scientific research proves that many essential nutrients are destroyed in cooking; so are cooked foods still whole foods? This chapter explains why fresh, uncooked and unprocessed whole foods are the most important health guardians available to the human organism.

Phytonutrients
Phytonutrients are nutrients from plant sources. This topic could fill many large books, but I will keep it brief. We should not assume that all the nutritive factors of foods are well known or understood. New nutrients are being discovered all the time. So, when we process or cook the foods that come in perfect form from nature, what else is being destroyed in addition to what is known?
Dr. L. Newman, author of Make Your Juicer Your Drug Store, writes, “One of the major discoveries in nutritional research was that nature never gives us isolated minerals and vitamins. She always gives them to us in combinations. Man [sic] probably does not comprehend one millionth of what still remains unknown in the field. We do know, however, that when we do fair [obtain], these vital elements from the master chemist, we are obtaining, besides the known vitamins, vitamins that have not yet been discovered.”
Following are the words on the first page of Prescription For Nutritional Healing, Third Edition, which claims to be America’s #1 Guide to Natural Health, and which is probably the most popular and widely used book of its kind in the United States. “One problem most of us have is that we do not get the nutrients we need from our diet because most of the foods we consume are cooked and/or processed. Cooking at high temperatures and processing destroys vital nutrients the body needs to function properly. The organic raw foods that supply these elements are largely missing from today’s diet.” (Balch and Balch pg. 2)
Many important nutrients exist in plant foods (many of which we have not yet identified) and these nutrients can be destroyed in processing and cooking are two of the many reasons that I believe optimum health requires the consumption of a wide variety of unprocessed and uncooked plant foods.

Protein
According to the Max Planck Institute for Nutritional Research in Germany, protein, when cooked, is only 50 percent bioavailable. In other words, about half the amino acids (the building blocks of protein) are unusable by the body because they are destroyed by cooking.
The World Health Organization recommends that 5 percent of one’s total daily calories come from protein. This level is easily reached on a plant-based diet. For example, 9 percent of calories in an orange are derived from protein, from zucchini 17 percent, strawberries 8, broccoli 42, cauliflower 31 and corn 13. The fact is that the commonly consumed plant foods contain 6 to 45 percent of their calories as protein. This research comes from John McDougall, MD. He says, “Protein is so abundant in plant foods that it is impossible for any dietician or scientist to design a diet that is composed of unprocessed plant foods (starches and vegetables) and, at the same time, be deficient in protein. We would not have survived as a species if this were not true.”
In the book, Disease-Proof Your Child, Joel Fuhrman, M.D. states, “Protein is ubiquitous; it is contained in all foods, not only animal products. Protein deficiency in not a concern for anyone in the developed world. It is almost impossible to consume too little protein, no matter what you eat…”
All proteins are formed by amino acids joined together in specific sequences. Eight are said to be essential to adults, and 10 essential to infants. The belief that one must eat all essential amino acids at every meal (also called the complete protein theory) in order to maintain health is a myth. The Wendt Doctrine, describing thirty years of research, debunks the complete protein myth. It proves that we have the ability to store these proteins in our cells and to convert them into amino acids that move freely throughout the body to areas that might be deficient. Therefore, combining beans and rice to supply complex protein is unnecessary. The Wendt Doctrine also shows the damaging effects of excess concentrated protein which clogs the system, depleting the cells of oxygen and nutrition and creates an acidic environment, a condition that eventually leads to degenerative diseases.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) states that, “…the average American takes in twice the amount of protein he or she needs. Excess protein has been linked with osteoporosis, kidney disease, calcium stones in the urinary tract and some cancers.”
In the February 2004 issue of Readers Digest , in an article entitled Kicking Kidney Stones, the author states: “The simplest fix is to avoid high-protein diets.” Then the author explains how kidney stones are formed. “Protein from meat and other animal products is broken down into acids. It’s your kidney’s job to balance acids with bases for elimination from the body. The handiest base is the calcium in your bones. Protein is broken down and stored in the bone, where it binds with calcium. Then the kidneys filter these particles from your blood. And the more meat you eat, the more calcium you’ll have in your kidneys. Over time, these particles bind together, forming stones.”
According to Leslie and Susannah Kenton, in their book, Raw Energy, grilling a steak at 239 degrees Fahrenheit completely destroys the amino acids
lysine and cystine. Many researchers believe that the reason more people don’t get extremely ill from high-protein diets is due to the fact that about 50 percent of the protein is destroyed by cooking.
Because a diet rich in a variety of plant foods can provide all the protein one needs, I see no need to worry about getting enough protein unless poor digestion and absorption is an issue. In that case, thorough chewing, supplemental digestive enzymes and intestinal cleansing can help.

Raw foodism or what we usually call rawism is part of a lifestyle of a person which focuses and promotes the consumption of uncooked or unprocesses, and often organic food intake.

So considering those numbers, when eating raw, you can expect to exceed those recommendations by 20 grams daily!

By not cooking food you are providing the benefit of retaining all the natural vitamins and minerals available in your food. Cooking food removes some of these beneficial items from food.
