When you cook food above 115 degrees, the food enzymes which are protein compounds that we need to perform nearly every bodily function, including digestion, is destroyed. The reserved enzymes in your body need to come to aid in the digestive process; therefore, causing your body to work harder to digest and absorb nutrients. When you eat raw or living food, you are helping your body to work less to digest and allowing the enzymes to do other important activities, like repairing and cleansing. Remember, the older we get, the less enzymes there are in our body.
Also, when you eat raw, you are consuming the full nutritional value the food has to offer, whereas cooked foods lose some of its nutritional value.
A raw food diet rejuvenates the body both physically and mentally. You feel and look younger and healthier. You also become happier and have a more positive outlook on life. Eating raw has so many benefits, ranging from clearing the digestive tract to helping people shed some unwanted pounds.
