Raw Foods

I've been hearing a lot about raw food diets so I decided to do a little research on the benefits of it. Turns out there are four components of this-- raw vegetarian, raw vegans, raw omnivores, and raw carnivores. I didn't think there could be raw carnivores considering the health risks of consuming raw meat but I guess I was wrong. Raw foodists have reported that this diet not only enables you to lose weight (and keep it off) but also prevents diseases. The enzymes in our food allow for natural digestion but once we cook the food many of the enzymes and vitamins are altered and can no longer serve their purpose. Overall it seems like something that promotes health but the preparation and management is very time consuming. The benefits such as weight loss and health improvements seems worth it though.
