Have you heard about the Raw Food Diet yet? It's gaining traction as a diet for living a long and healthy life, rather than merely losing weight. We consume so much manufactured food that we don't even consider what we're putting into our bodies or how far we've progressed nutritionally from our agrarian roots.

A raw food diet is eating foods in their original, unadulterated state. There are a number of compelling reasons why this is a smart idea. So much of the nutritious content of food is lost during processing and cooking.
Consider some of the common knowledge you've heard for years: Cooking pasta to the al dente (or medium) stage will result in more calories, but it will also have higher nutritious value than cooking it to the well-done level. Alternatively, you may recall being told not to peel carrots or potatoes too deeply because the majority of the nutrients and values are found just beneath the surface.

Raw foods include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, dried fruits, seaweeds, and other unprocessed, uncooked, organic whole foods. It entails a diet consisting of at least 75% raw foods! Cooking depletes the flavour and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.A raw food diet entails eating more in the manner of our forefathers.
Our forefathers were fitter and healthier. They didn't cook much, and they didn't even cook or process fruits and vegetables. They ate them uncooked. Their water didn't come from a tap; it came from a natural spring. Maybe they sipped a little coconut milk now and then.

Isn't it obvious that this is how our bodies were designed to eat? It's a way of eating that's both good for the environment and good for our bodies. Our bodies were designed to function, and they must work in order to be effective. This includes both physical activity and the consumption of fresh, uncooked foods that need more energy to process.
