It is not very long ago that raw foods bars are all the rage. If you do not eat raw food, you're in with the crowd and you were in the cycle in healthy rage. Still there are some bars of raw pet food around, but largely Mania has died and, I think, for good reason.
Many of my patients ask me for the health benefits of eating raw foods and I agree, there are some foods which are of benefit consumed raw, some I matter, and some would never recommend without cooking. In the event that is wondering about whether it is more beneficial to eat all of the raw food, here are some and against you may want to consider.
What is so great for raw food
Start with the raw food is everything that has been heated above 118 degrees. It is reported by raw food enthusiasts, that the above temperatures that would kill the natural enzymes present in food and make it more difficult for the body to digest them. It is true that the body needs special enzymes to digest your food. As we get older these enzymes reduce and not to make the work of digesting and which might make us constipated and lack many nutrients from the food we leave.
Now there are some great high vitamins and minerals, fed by fiber foods recommended for raw food diets, which are all things that you must include in healthy eating anyway. They include such foods such as vegetables, fruit, legumes, grains and juices and unsaturated fats and oils derived from olives, avocados, coconut and nuts. As you can see, is mostly vegetarian diet, but the people who practice raw diet exclusively say there are many advantages such as:
lower cholesterol.
lower stable levels of blood sugar.
lower blood pressure (low sodium intake).
may prevent cancer of the stomach and mouth (too cooked, barbecued food dubious).
High in fiber, helps maintain good bowel health and blood sugar levels.
Boosts the immune system of higher levels of Glycoside in raw food.
to avoid wheat, dairy products, sugar, alcohol, and table salt can help certain allergies, and the body AIDS in detoxifying itself.
clearer skin.
weight loss suffered.
What is not so great for the raw food diet
Raw food diet life, in its pure form, is predominantly vegetarian diet. I become concerned about the shortage of vitamin B12 deficiencies, in particular, which is common in vegetarian diets. This shortcoming can lead to anemia, as well as the conditions of the nervous system, and neurological disorders of cognition problems and dementia. The best resources are from red meat B12 and second chicken, fish, and wheat germ.
In addition not heating food past 118 degrees allows the food borne pathogens remain unaffected and can lead to serious illness. The eggs take for example. Many of my patients even boast about how they put raw eggs in the blender with the juice and so on, and then drink it all down. I cringe and say they are Lucky, they dodged the bullet, but salmonella can not always, such eggs may be carriers of the bacteria.
Depending on how strict the raw food diet you may also include certain fish (sushi, etc.), red meat and milk (pasteurized, non-homogenized only). Add the meat and fish work better from a nutritional standpoint, but from food borne pathogens terms, constitute serious problems. Fish and meat can carry bacteria such as salmonella and other. If you have an event you've ever suffered food poisoning outbreak of salmonella, you do not want to go there again. They also can carry viruses and parasites. Non-pasteurized milk can carry Mycobacterium bovis, which can cause tuberculosis-pulmonary type. Briefly, these raw foods can lead to some serious diseases, that you do not want to be made to.
And if vitamin deficiencies and food-borne pathogens for the account is not enough to scare you from raw food
diet, raw foods are included, which are in the natural and raw condition, many of which may be toxic.
Here's a short list of these foods:
Kidney beans and sprouts contain called phytohemaglutinin, which may be toxic chemicals.
Alfalfa sprouts contain canavanine.
Apricot kernels-contain amygdalin, which is raw cyanide.
Buckwheat Greens are toxic if crude. They can trigger photosensivity.
Parsnips contain furanocoumarin-raw, which can be toxic.
In addition, the time may be a factor not choose raw diet. Since this is mostly all raw foods, takes a long time for the purchase and preparation, since the freshness of the ending would be significant.
Convenience may be another negative, since it may make it difficult to go out to eat. Also used for can be difficult for people who have eaten meat, sugar, salt and alcohol throughout their life, to switch the raw diet.
Is there a healthy way to eat raw food
The answer to this question depends on whom You ask, primarily. But even many raw food enthusiasts say that ideal raw raw food is 75% and 25% cooked, and if I would have to "go raw" this is the way in which the will and to do that.
twenty-five percent of your raw food can be cooked meat, fish or eggs, but I will add a good digestive enzymes help digest these proteins, especially if you are past age 40.
the remaining 75% will consist of raw vegetables, steamed in a sufficiently precise manner to restrict them and bring out their flavour. Raw fruit and nuts are always great in its natural form and wholeheartedly recommend eating several servings of these vitamins and fibre rich foods every day.
As always, drink half his weight in the clean, filtered water per day to flush toxins from the body.
This is what I tell my patients who ask about the health benefits of raw pet food feeding. There are many positive elements involved, such as eat any vegetables, fruit and nuts, as well as stay of sugar and alcohol and processed foods. This sound change, which anyone can include in the diet, whether it is completely raw or not. To avoid serious illness, however, stay on sushi and steak tartare, unless indeed may be responsible for that process them and where they come from.
