We truly are what we eat! Every cell in our body is built, repaired and fuelled by the foods and fluids we consume. Foods in their natural state contain nutrients which are destroyed when heated.
Fresh, whole and, importantly, raw organic foods contain the specific enzymes needed to provide the greatest amount of nutrients to our body with the minimum of digestive energy. However, enzymes are destroyed when heated above 118 F (48 C).
By not overheating food, all the energy-giving enzymes are left alive and intact, providing our body with all that we require to repair cellular damage and to create billions of healthy new cells every day. Eating uncooked vegan food also brings us closer to nature while cleansing our body of destructive toxins.
Many people choose a plant based, living foods diet because of the numerous health benefits. People whose diet is mostly or all raw report having more vitality, feeling more energized, experiencing a higher clarity of thought, and having an overall better quality of life. Regardless of how often you enjoy raw food, whenever you do so you are providing yourself with a nutrient rich choice that supports your health and metabolism and offers you a chance to joyfully nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
