Raw Vegan Chef

This week, I've had the opportunity to learn more about raw living from an actual raw vegan chef. Her name is Shavana; she dedicates her days to preparing meals for her clients only using products that are organically grown. Speaking with her helped me look at raw eating as more of a lifestyle other than a simple eating habit.  

She says "You need lots of healthy enzymes in your body in order to fight off illnesses but over time our foods have changed (for example: GMO is now found it A LOT of our foods).

I am sure when our great grandparents were alive they were probably eating a much simpler and cleaner diet because science hadn't developed to a point where they were messing around with our produce as yet...[...] So in order to replenish that bank account (our body) we have to eat fresh organic (organic meaning it has been grown in untouched soil (pure and natural) produce in order to rebuild those enzymes and hopefully some day pass it on back to our children."
