Benefits of Eating Raw Foods

Exclusive Summary on Articles by Randy Powell, Roxanne Vick and Jos Graf

Eating a diet predominating with raw food gives benefits. Here are some of them:

Anti aging

Raw fruits, vegetables, and whole grains contain antioxidants, while unheated vegetable oil in raw nuts will supplies lots of enzymes and antioxidants. Antioxidants are needed to remove free radicals from the body before the particles can damage body cells.

Whole grains are also the source of complex carbohydrates. The sugars in the carbohydrate are converted by the body at a slow rate. The fiber from these grains can help you to quickly eliminate toxic waste from the body.

A diet abundant with raw food everyday will cleanse your body and began to normalize your body fat levels. By spending less energy on digestion, your body can detox properly and spend time repairing damaged cells. Less damaged cells and toxic wastes in our body will slow the process of aging.

Source of Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants that convert light into energy and enables them to take nutrition from the air, sun, and water, and so make them "living" raw foods. The chlorophyll pigment is almost identical to our blood pigments. The biggest difference is that the chlorophyll pigments center atom is magnesium, while our bloods center atom is iron, thus the nickname: "green blood". It is no wonder that chlorophyll has been shown to work wonders for our blood.

There are many benefits of chlorophyll, such as purification of the blood, liver, constipation and gas corrector, emphysema, abscesses of the liver and kidney, kidney stones, and it has also been shown to be an excellent topical for infections and burns. Chlorophyll contains properties that break down carbon dioxide, and release oxygen, which kills bacteria. It has even been used in deep surgical wounds. Its absence of toxicity and promotion of repair tissue/skin, and soothing qualities makes it a miracle antiseptic.

Better Nutrition

Proteins of raw foods should come from beans, nuts, and seafood. Healthy fats include olive oil and, to a lesser extent, other vegetable oils. Studies showed that cooking changes the food atom structure, for example, the magnesium atom in the center of chlorophyll is replaced with hydrogen; and chlorophyll would be absent after 20 minutes of boiling.

So the nutrition is better consumed raw.

Source of Etheric Energy

The more "live" a vegetable or fruit is, the more enhanced is its etheric energy, the life force of the plant world. However, predominantly raw food diets are met best by a healthy etheric force in the individual eating them. If one's etheric is depleted, by either a temporary or long-term ailment, lightly cooked foods are easier to assimilate. For most people a balance of raw and cooked works best.

Others

Experiments with live foods (raw, sprouted, and such) showed that graying hair can be reversed. Also, there are numerous accounts of the reversal of debilitating illnesses.
