NBC News: Raw Food Diet
Posted by Scott on Nov 4, 2009
What are the benefits of eating a living and raw food diet?
The benefits of eating a raw and living food diet are too numerous to mention in entirety. The living and raw food diet has helped many people feel better when nothing else has worked. Many people have healed themselves of diseases and ailments such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, acne, migraines, back pain, neck and joint pain, asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypoglycemia, colitis, diverticulitis, Candida, arthritis, serious allergies, depression, anxiety, mood swings, heartburn, gas, bloating, skin diseases, obesity, chronic fatigue, cancers and many more. Excess weight seems to just melt off your body when you eat a raw and living food diet!
To easily understand why raw and living foods can rebalance and restore optimum health, we must focus on one key area; that is how digestion really works. Digestive enzymes are destroyed by heat. Beginning at a cooking temperature of 118 degrees the complete enzymatic content of food begins to rapidly decrease to 0% by 120 degrees. Cooking foods can also destroy other nutrients, and render natural oils indigestible.
Compromised digestion, resulting from highly refined and overcooked foods, creates a ripple effect through toxic-accumulation and immune over-stimulation that detrimentally affects the physical, emotional and spiritual levels of our being. The ingestion of a high percentage of organically grown raw and living foods is a critical foundation for the reversal of these conditions, along with the continuous gifts of health, vitality and elevated quality of life.

Raw food in a positive light? When was this?
Awesome!
Why waste the time. …
Why waste the time. All that matters is that humans do great on a herbivore diet …… for whoever wants that greatness.
Go RV’n !!!………811 style
Bottom line is …
Bottom line is there is no nutritional need for things from OTHER animals. Everything originates from the ground anyway. And animals only started eating each other during times when there wasn’t enough food.
BTW – nice play you two put on.
Really? Have any …
Really? Have any sources you can point to so I can read further about this?
Great thanks! I’ll …
Great thanks! I’ll definitely look this up.
So at the end of …
So at the end of the day, is a 100% raw food infeasible, unnatural and dangerous?
baboons eat …
baboons eat gazelle’s all the time. thier a lot like dogs or wolves the way they hunt
Well sure people …
Well sure people can consume too much of anything. Moderation is certainly key to any diet and staying healthy in general.
I don’t question people’s tendency to eat TOO much meat especially in today’s culture, but the original argument was about how people are trying to prove based on superficial anatomical observations that we’re plant eaters ONLY. This is clearly not the case as we do have the biology to digest animal meat.
It should be noted though that gorillas do also eat invertebrates.
Raw food diet is …
Raw food diet is the diet for weight loss! Think about it – if you don’t intake any fat, then you body uses what is stored!!!
That last point is …
That last point is quite interesting. What kinds of invertabrea do they eat? Surely, not shellfish. I think one could make the argument for humans being essentially herbivorous, again, the teeth we have could prove we are more than leaf and fruit eaters, that we can eat bamboo and shoots. But tell me more about the gorilla.
If you do some …
If you do some quick research, you’ll find that in fact there’s only a few primates that are strictly carnivores or herbivores. The majority of them are omnivores. Baboons for example have been known to take down animals such as antelope.
As for gorillas, the diets range very widely but many of them eat insects. Chimps have also been known to crack open clam shells to eat what’s on the inside.
I’m all for eating much more fruits and veggies but clearly we’re omnivores too.
Silly me, I’m …
Silly me, I’m forgetting the insects are invertabrae. But I thought it was chimps and not gorillas that eat them. How about orangutans? How can a baboon take down an antelope, unless it’s a baby? This is all news to me!
Really pretty …
Really pretty interesting. I just wish I knew where on Earth this idea that people are purely vegetarian by nature.
It’s pretty neat. …
It’s pretty neat. One of the things I find most fascinating is that in every instance they’ve seen it, it’s the females that figure out the tool use and teach it to the young of both sexes. They’re starting to re-examine their ideas of how tool use evolved in humans.
attention-grabbing matter, i by no means seen something about this before
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I¡¯m sending it to some friends!From http://www.healthyedu.com
