As the nation gets unhealthier, the numbers of health related disease increase. Obesity, allergies, diabetes 
, digestive track problems are all but a few of the health related diseases! The thing is, all it takes are a few simple changes to your diet to make you that much healthier – unless you want to go on feeling rubbish…? One simple way to increase your health is to include raw foods into your daily diet! What’s so good about ‘raw foods’ I hear you ask? For a start, you increase the amount of nutrition your body receives. By cooking food, the heat destroys most of the natural enzymes and also drains out minerals, vitamins and various other proteins and fats. Minerals lose there organic form and don’t work correctly in the body the way they should. In their ‘cooked’ form, they can combine with saturated fats in the blood stream and cholesterol , and block up our vital arteries surrounding the heart region…not good! When you eat food, this food is too big for the blood stream to cope with. This problem is solved by a protein called an enzyme. There are many different enzymes for different products. The body produces chemicals called digestive enzymes that work on foods to achieve this but it costs the body energy and nutrients to make digestive enzymes. Raw unprocessed foods contain natural enzymes and are therefore broken down and digested easily in the body requiring little or no additional digestive enzymes. Cooked foods that are depleted of their natural enzymes place an energy strain on the body. What then happens if there aren’t any enzymes to digest the food…? Your old friend the ‘digestive problem’ comes right back, giving you a ton of grief! Digestive imbalances form causing problems such as wind, cramps and severe stomach pains. Undigested foodstuffs can enter the bloodstream leading the body to set up immune response to foods leading to food allergies and intolerances and the immune system can become compromised leading to a susceptibility to colds, viruses, infection and more serious conditions. There is much more flavour in raw foods, so the requirement for additives isn’t there. Unhealthy additives usually include sugar, salt and various other flavourings. Free radicals are also produced in great numbers when food is cooked, which cause great havoc in the body! By increasing the number of uncooked foods in your diet can make you feel so much better! Salads, fresh fruit and vegetables are a good start. Always wash fresh food first to rid of an fertilizers and germs.
