30 Days Raw
I did a post on raw food diet a long time ago. 451 press has come a long way since then
Here’s an excerpt of the raw food diet post:
Fruits, veggies, sprouts, dried fruits, legumes, seaweed, freshly made veg and fruit juices,
coconut milk(fresh) are some of the things you can live on. Why do people go in for this kind of diet? Well their claim is that cooking food causes te food to lose any nutritional value it has. The nutritional content of fruits and veggies are destroyed when exposed to heat and water. Raw
food is rich in enzymes and these enzymes are essential if healthy digestion is to take place.
This kind of diet is believed to help detoxify the system and leave you fresh and rejuvenated. But take your doc’s advice if you want to stay on this diet for more than a week. There are chances that you can get Irritable Bowel Syndrome if you take in an excess of raw food diet. But since fruits are so low on calories, there is a positive chance that it helps in weight loss. Just make that you scrunch on nuts since nuts are a high source of protein. Also keep in mind that such a diet is low on iron as well. Patients with cancer and pregnant women should stay off this diet, since it guarantees weight loss.
Raw for 30 Days is a documentary film that uses raw food to tackle diabetes. Six McDonald’s-munching Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, live, raw foods in order to reverse diabetes naturally. The six participants are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food – as well as go without their loved ones and many of their creature comforts – for 30 days.
Check out the trailer….looks good.
