The raw food diet is touted by many in the health community to be beneficial to almost everybody especially those with health issues like obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Because food is not cooked under this diet the levels of nutrients tend to be much higher and therefore more beneficial as the cooking prcoess can destroy these inadvertently.

This diet however can be unsuitable for certain people and you should consult your doctor for a professional view.

Food You Can Eat Under This Diet

For everyone else this diet offers a higher level of nutrients and also an easier time of losing weight.

In the general sense, nonetheless, the diet should consist of one-third of uncooked food while the rest can be cooked using healthy methods like drying, smoking and grilling. Boiling the food is often discouraged because the nutrients evaporate with the heat.

Prepare your food by chopping, blending and juicing adding few if any additives. If heat must be applied, only a dehydrator is used. This blows hot air into and through the food at controlled temperatures not exceeding 116 Fahrenheit.

The range of foods allowed include beans and legumes’ dried and fresh fruits and vegetables and their freshly-made juices; grains and whole wheat products; nuts and seeds; seaweeds and mushrooms; milk from young coconuts and coconut meat itself; and purified water.

Unless you are vegetarian you might like to add eggs, fish and some dairy products.

Precautionary Measures to the Diet

Benefits included in this diet are amongst higher levels of energy, improved digestion, easier weight loss, lower risk of chronic degenerative illnesses, and clearer skin, among others.

But as previously mentioned, not everybody is suitable for this particular diet and even those who are suitable for it must take certain precautions to avoid possible health complications. If you have an underlying medical condition that warrants a special diet, we suggest asking for your doctor’s go-signal before starting on a diet of raw foods.

Other precautions:

Avoid eating large quantities of foods like buckwheat, kidney beans and alfalfa sprouts as these contain toxic substances.

Eggs eaten raw may contain salmonella therefore it is better to cook them before consumption.

Raw meat can contain potentially fatal bacteria, parasites and viruses, milk may contain Mycobacteria bovis, the bacteria that causes non-pulmonary tuberculosis.

Be prepared to experience some side effects though when you start, these could include mild headaches and nausea which should pass in a few days.

In summary you should review what is expected on the raw food diet, the benefits and the side effects and weigh up whether this is for you.
