Why The Raw Food Diet

Eating enzyme-dead foods places a burden on your pancreas and other organs and overworks them, which eventually exhausts these organs. Many people gradually impair their pancreas and progressively lose the ability to digest their food after a lifetime of ingesting processed foods.

Obstructions are cleared and blood flow increases to every cell in the body. Boosted blood flow is important for 2 reasons : as discussed above, blood delivers nutriments and oxygen to living cells, and carries away their noxious metabolites. Obesity is symptomatic in this country. The diet industry is more worthwhile than the oil corporations. Why? Because the way in which we eat and prepare our food practically guarantees that we'll eat too much. Therapists let us know that we over-indulge because our souls are hungry. But in fact, our bodies are hungry, although we may feel full. When you start giving your body the nutriments it needs, overeating will stop. Eating uncooked foods is a lift to your metabolic rate also.

It takes rather more energy to digest uncooked foods, but it is a good process. Instead of spending energy to rid itself of poisons produced by cooking food, the body uses its energy to feed each cell, sending vitamins, liquids, enzymes and oxygen to make your body the efficient machine it was meant to be. You can naturally stop overeating, because your body and brain won't be starving for the nutriments they require. A starving brain will trigger the thoughts which make you eat too much.

Once enzymes are exposed to heat, they are no longer able to provide the function for which they were designed. Cooked foods contribute to chronic illness, because their enzyme content is damaged and thus requires us to make our own enzymes to process the food. The digestion of cooked food uses valuable metabolic enzymes in order to help digest your food. Digestion of cooked food demands much more energy than the digestion of raw food. In general, raw food is so much more easily digested that it passes through the digestive tract in 1/2 to 1/3 of the time it takes for cooked food.

The brain and the remainder of your body do not need quantity ; they want quality
