Instructions On How To Get Fitter Without Exploiting Cooking Facilities

By Connor Sullivan

There are many people who believe that once cooking is involved any foodstuff loses many of the qualities that are essential for the health and well being of human beings. Raw food diets have been championed of late and are thought to be far healthier than the cooked variety. Raw foods do indeed provide better and more qualitative nutrients but some may not take to the uncooked produce regimen very easily. The items most people have eaten are salads and coleslaw which obviously contained uncooked products. But for most people, this is about all they have experienced. They do not experiment with other versions of uncooked produce, or they have never felt the need to!

Many will think this is some kind of fad but this movement has been growing and mushrooming for some time. Many start the uncooked produce regimen when pushed into it by circumstance in places where only uncooked produce is provided. In the face of this dilemma they take some food to be sociable and then are surprised to find that it is indeed delicious and very palatable. Curiosity then tends to get them to branch out on their own.

But what kinds of dishes make for good eating? For the uninitiated, it may seem that there is little choice. But for those who take the time to learn, the versions are literally endless. How about a gazpacho soup which is a very tasty cold soup from Spain? This dish is one of the easiest to start with and will set the newcomer on a very varied path bereft of cooking.

There are new and exciting dishes like burgers made from sprouting lentils and grated carrot, or sweet potatoes mixed with nuts and seeds to make crisp crackers. Even courgettes (zucchini) can be used to make a very tasty spaghetti style dish, all uncooked. Who would think that this would be possible? Young coconuts are also good for this type of dish as long as they are available to prepare. Desserts are also available in this style and many will use fruits and nuts to produce something quite acceptable even to the beginner.So popular is this style of living becoming that it is anticipated that in the future, people will be able to pluck fruit and vegetables directly from plants growing along supermarket shelves. This is probably the freshest that anyone could wish produce to be. Fresh produce loses many of the valuable nutrients the longer it is stored. In this way, the product can be consumed literally as soon as it reaches home.

For those who think that this will never catch on, there are many websites dedicated to the consumption of fresh and uncooked produce. Many extol the health aspects of eating this kind of produce and, looking at the obesity problems besetting the world at present, this may be the way to provide a healthy and alternative choice for the family.

Most will try this, at least incorporating some uncooked produce in their daily intake, before completely immersing themselves in the totally uncooked route. - 17274
