In the Raw

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy and attractive as possible – all which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and incorporating them in a way that works for you. You may be reluctant to add new foods if you are not sure of the taste but besides avoiding processed foods, anyone who is interested in improving their health, quality of their skin and preventing disease should consider the benefits of adding raw foods to their diets and expanding healthy choices to include SuperFoods.

What Are SuperFoods?

Superfood is a term sometimes used to describe food with high phytonutrient content. Raw plant foods are simple and contain thousands of health-giving nutrients, and conform to the biological design of the human digestive system. In ancient times, primitive people were more prone to eating algae,marine plankton and seeds. However, that practice became dormant but our generation has re-discovered and re-named it as a superfood or raw food movement. There is solid evidence that a living plant food diet eases digestion, boosts energy, and eliminates carcinogens. Eating a balanced mix of raw plant foods can restore health on a molecular level by building strong cells, raising alkalinity, and detoxifying and re-mineralizing the body, therefore reducing the aging process.

Mainstream media and food industries make the SuperFood claim only to foods available in local commercial supermarkets. According to WebMD and Dr Nicholas Perricone these include berries, broccoli, salmon, spinach, nuts, pomegranate, beans, soy, tomatoes. While these foods are healthy they are not even in the same league when it comes to the most nutritious and highest quality form of foods that are available from around our world.
