Raw Food

This is a diet that sounds like exactly what it is: consuming raw food, especially foods that are organic and not processed. This can fall into a category of veganism, but many who follow a diet like this stick to the 80/20 rule of eating raw foods 80% of the time and cooked foods (including proteins) 20% of the time. It’s believed that a diet high in raw food consumption will help reduce inflammation in the body, improve digestion (raw foods tend to be high in fiber), and increase energy.

A diet high in raw vegetables and fruits may improve overall digestion and lower blood pressure, however consuming raw food exclusively is highly restrictive and expensive; raw food choices should be organic and free from any exposure to chemicals. Most nutritionists or medical professionals would likely advise against this diet, as it is one that requires significant preparation and tracking to ensure that your body gets the nutrition it needs. If you’re interested in a raw food diet, start by adding more raw foods into your meals, and look for a variety of recipes to help keep a diet like this enjoyable and healthy.

Remember to conslut with your doctor before starting a diet and exercise program.
