There is a mostly quiet but getting louder group of individuals who are big proponents of eating raw. This mostly sounds like what it says, but maybe a little clarification will help. Raw foodists believe that there are specific enzymes, vitamins and other nutrient rich content in our foods that are simply lost or destroyed when cooked. There is some evidence that supports these claims. Also, to be sure, foods that are rich in these ingredients and fiber will go a long way towards helping you cleanse your colon and assist you in your body detox. To be clear, raw food pertains to vegetables and fruits, grains, and other non-animal products. A purist raw foodie will be vegetarian and many will be vegan.
Raw foods are not only limited to salads.
Vegan refers a diet that is free from all animal products. Many of the foods that we have available in the U.S. have animal by-products or are actual animal products themselves. For example, no vegan would eat an obvious meat choice like chicken or pork. Likewise, they will not eat eggs or fish either. For that matter, strict vegans do not eat cheese, milk, or any other product that requires an animal to produce directly or indirectly. Gelatin, for example is an animal by-product and is found in certain mints and other desert items. A vegan would not eat these items. This type of diet is definitely hard to maintain in our culture of fast and convenient. However, it is also this pace of life and diet that is leading to say much of the accumulation of toxins in our bodies. So, a good place to learn how to detox might just be in a vegan’s home.
So, vegans and raw food purists have a lot in common. For a moment, let’s discuss the specific benefits of eating raw foods as part of your detox diet. There can be a lot to manage when you first get into detoxing your body programs. You can make your life much simpler by picking some type of process and just sticking with it. Now, for most raw foodists, this is not some fad or temporary diet. They eat this way for all food at each meal. You may find that this approach speaks to you as well. First, begin your detox process by eating organic raw fruits and vegetables. Not only will they provide much needed vitamins and nutrients, but the added fiber will help clean your colon. Additionally, if you supplement with certain herbs or other health products, make sure you are going with the organic remedies – again, same reason as eating raw. Drinking pure water in very adequate amounts is also a critical aspect to your detox.
Specifically, when you are eating raw foods, you will be getting the most active and alive aspects of the foods into your system. With a lifetime of toxic accumulation, this is one of the best things you can do. Your colon and other body tissues are constantly interacting with other microorganisms and such to keep you healthy. When the accumulation of toxins and waste products builds up to a critical level, your body vitality and function will suffer. The cells and tissues of your body will not be getting the ideal nourishment even from the foods you put into your body. Once you are cleansed, then you can begin to rebuild your intestinal health and vibrant well-being again.
