Raw Food Diets
A Raw Food Diet primarily consists of unprocessed and uncooked foods, focusing on fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains. Proponents believe that cooking food can destroy essential nutrients and enzymes, which are beneficial for digestion and overall health.
Many followers of this diet advocate for consuming organic and locally sourced ingredients to maximize nutritional value. While some people report increased energy and improved health, it's important to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients, as a strictly raw diet may lack certain vitamins and minerals typically found in cooked foods.
