A raw food diet consists primarily of unprocessed and uncooked foods. This diet typically includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains. Proponents believe that cooking food can destroy essential nutrients and enzymes, making raw foods healthier and more beneficial for the body. People following a raw food diet often prepare meals using methods like blending, juicing, or dehydrating, rather than cooking. This approach is thought to promote better digestion, weight loss, and increased energy levels. However, it may require careful planning to ensure adequate nutrition, as some nutrients are more bioavailable in cooked foods.
