The Raw Deal

We all know that real, whole foods are the way to wellness, but what about raw foods? Fruits and veggies are often eaten raw on their own as snacks without a second thought, but have you ever considered creating an entire meal out of raw food?

While it may be difficult for most people to maintain an entirely raw diet, incorporating more raw meals into your life can vastly improve your energy levels, mental focus, and overall mood.

Enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, protein, essential fats and fiber are the building blocks your body needs to function properly. Cooking food can destroy some of these essential nutrients, which is why it’s important to include raw food in your diet.

It may seem difficult at first, but once you make it a habit, you’ll see that it’s simple AND satisfying!
