Is it possible to have a diet that is both healthy and delicious? This book is a collection of over 60 of my favorite healthy raw food recipes that are both delicious and easy to make. I simply cannot overstate the amazing power of a raw food diet. To say that going from the Standard American Diet to a 100% raw food diet is like “night and day” is an understatement. It is more like being transformed to another dimension!
The benefits of eating a raw food diet are numerous and include:
Ø Increased Nutrient Intake-
Raw foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients and enzymes, which provide essential nutrients.
Ø Improved Digestion-
Raw foods contain live enzymes that can aid in digestion and improve gut health.
Ø Weight Loss-
Raw foods are generally lower in calories and fat than cooked foods, which may contribute to weight loss.
Ø Reduced Risk of Allergies-
Raw foods are free from processed ingredients, preservatives, and artificial flavors, which can reduce the risk of allergies in some individuals.
Ø Improved Skin Health-
Raw foods are rich in antioxidants and nutrients that may promote healthy skin.
Ø Increased Energy Levels-
The high fiber and nutrient content of raw foods may provide sustained energy levels.
In addition to my favorite recipes this book is peppered with numerous articles and helpful information such as:
Ø Setting up a healthy kitchen
Ø “Where do you get your protein on a raw food diet?”
Ø “Where do you get your calcium and vitamin D on a raw food diet?”
Ø Raw Food studies
Ø Raw Food glossary
Each ingredient lists the primary nutritional constituent along with the part of the body that benefits the most.
