"Raw" means food that is unprocessed, unrefined, and untreated with heat. The three main raw food groups are fresh fruits, vegetables (particularly green leafy vegetables) and natural fats, such as avocados, nuts, and seeds. Raw food isn't a radical concept; most nutritionists agree that we need to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The raw food diet simply suggests that these foods should be most of what we eat, and should be prepared in a way that maximizes nutrient content.
Eating a diet rich in fresh greens, vegetables, and fruits is the easiest way to maintain optimal health and weight. It helps you avoid the foods that have been linked to degenerative diseases and weight gain, including “bad carbs” (such as white sugar and white flour) and “bad fats” (saturated and trans-fats). Additionally, raw greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds have vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes, and fiber--all essential for good health. Better nutrition will not only help prevent disease and overweight, but also slow the aging process.
Eating raw foods doesn't need to be all or nothing. A small percentage of people eat 100% raw, but this isn't practical for most of us. Eating even 50-75% raw foods can improve health and vitality. The main point is to increase the percentage of fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet.
