Raw Food Diet

Raw Food Diet

The raw food diet consists of raw and live meals only, and has many excellent health benefits. Those following the diet should consume a wide selection of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and kelp. Prepared meals such as blended soups, smoothies, and marinated salads are common entrées. If following a raw food plan, it is highly recommended you drink fresh organic juices produced from an array of vegetables such as celery, romaine lettuce, spinach, carrots, kale and parsley. Avoid dairy, prepared wheat, grains and whole-wheat byproducts. If you must have dairy, incorporate raw cultured goat or sheep’s milk, which is typically available in health food stores.

The raw food diet produces rapid results due to its ability to thoroughly detoxify your body and liberate its untapped power. Dr. Gabriel Cousins of Patagonia Arizona, endorses the raw food plan, as the ultimate recovery diet. Dr. Cousins offers delicious 100% raw foods at his café during the healing retreats he hosts.
We recommend the raw foods diet for long-term cleansing and detoxifying. Consuming raw meals for a period of three months to a year is an incredible way to increase energy. Cleansing your body allows you to release addictions, and create a healthier foundation. Most people eat a variety of addictive foods such as pasta, and sugar, without realizing their addictive nature. Typically the vegetables we do eat are overcooked which removes most of their healthy components. When eating fruits and vegetables raw, you are eating them at their highest potential.

It is important to note that there will be trade-offs when consuming a raw foods diet. You many miss cooked meals, but the energy you receive from the raw foods diet will surpass your desire for hot food. The raw foods diet is an incredible tool to cleanse and purify your body and increase your overall well-being.
