| What are the benefits of Raw Food ? 1) Raw Diet: Life-giving Food With a raw diet, vegetables or grains are eaten in their natural state -- uncooked and unprocessed. Grown on healthy soil, these raw grains and vegetables nourish the body with life-giving embryos, enzymes, chlorophyll, dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and other natural nutrients. Thus, eating even a small amount of raw food can improve your health. 2) A raw diet has live embryos? The first life-giving secret of a raw diet is its live embryos. The embryo, or seed, is the first form of life of a plant from which sprouts its stems and leaves. It contains a high concentration of vitamins and minerals that are needed to make the plant grow. Unfortunately, embryos are removed when grains are pounded or hulled.Unpolished rice grains, for example, have been found to contain embryos that were absent in polished rice grains. Unpolished rice actually contains 66% and 29% of the vitamins and minerals in embryos and rice bran, respectively. On the other hand, polished rice with the embryos and rice bran removed retains only 5% of said vitamins and minerals. A comparison of the nutrient content of unpolished and polished rice shows that unpolished rice is much richer in dietary cellulose, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. To be able to take in all the natural nutrients from grains, including their live embryos, therefore, they must be eaten unprocessed and whole. |
