There are hundreds of advantages to a diet of fresh,
whole raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts, which may lead you to
find a greater place for them in your diet.
Last Sunday we discussed the top 5. Here are advantages
#6 - 10 of Eating Raw:
6. Eating a diet of raw foods can reverse or stop the advance
of many chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Remember, cooking creates free radicals, which are the major
cause of cancer. When you lower the number of free radicals
your cells are bombarded with, you lower your risk of cancer.
7. A raw food diet can protect you from acute diseases
such as colds, flu, measles, etc. Raw foods maintain a healthy
immune system and a healthy immune system resists disease.
8. As long as you combine raw food properly, according
to the rules of Natural Hygiene, you will soon reach a level
where you no longer suffer from heartburn, gas, indigestion or
constipation.
9. It is environmentally sound. With humanity on a diet of
raw foods the food industry would close up shop and take up
organic gardening. This would save us enormous amounts of
natural resources used to produce power for these industries.
Trees and oil reserves could be saved without the need for the
paper and plastics used in packaging processed foods. There
would also be less carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere
when all the cooking stopped, and more oxygen produced from
all the new orchards and gardens.
One recent study showed that, of the animals raised for food
consumption in the US, the greenhouse gasses released by these
animals annually is greater than the greenhouse gasses produced
by all of the cars and trucks in the country.
10. Eating raw saves you money on food, vitamins, pots and
pans, appliances, doctor bills, drugs, and health insurance.
So don't waste your food, yourself, and our planet by cooking
what you eat. Fruits, nuts, and vegetables which are whole, fresh
and raw are brimming with life and have the ability to transmit their
life force directly to you.
Staying Inspired,

P.S. Raw Living Foods is a Lifestyle, not just a Diet.
There's a lot more to it than just eating lots of fruits and veggies.
