3 Great Reasons to Switch to a Raw Food Vegan Diet

By Alistair Bedingford

The widely accepted definition of a raw food vegan diet is one where 75% of the time you are eating raw and the widely accepted definition of raw food is food that never gets heated beyond 115F. That being said, why would you switch to such a diet?

Benefit 1 - Rapid Weight Loss

It is a well noted fact that people on raw food vegan diets shed weight in a surprisingly quick amount of time. Why is this? One major reason is the nature of raw food. Uncooked food has a lot of fiber in it and it takes less raw food than cooked food to feel full.

Benefit 2 - Improved Health

Beyond the benefits of weight loss (i.e. less chance of heart disease and diabetes) there are even more health benefits to a raw food vegan diet. Such a diet allows us to consume vitamins, useful bacteria, and helpful enzymes which are normally killed in the cooking process. The result is that raw food vegan eaters have seen higher levels of energy and have experienced much easier digestion.

Most of the food we eat is highly processed and laden with preservatives and simple sugars. These types of foods can disrupt bodily systems. Proponents of the raw food vegan diet have noted higher energy levels and better health and well being.

Benefit 3 -More Environmentally Friendly and Ethical

Concentrated Animal Feed Operations, CAFO for short, are how the vast majority of Americans get their meat. These industrial operations are infamous for their deplorable animal living conditions and waste products that result in large scale environmental degradation. Instead of supporting such a system the organic raw food vegan diet supports healthy, ethical eating that is better for the earth and its inhabitants

Raw vegans need to take B12 supplements since B12 can only be found in animal products.

So drop some pounds, be healthier and do something great for the earth, switch to a raw food vegan diet. - 17274
