Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 What are the benefits of going raw over being vegan? I'll admit I haven't had time to read a single book on the subject. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hi Becky, A vegan whole foods diet is certainly much, much healthier than the standard american diet by far, but it can still be improved upon by going raw or including a very high percentage of raw food. A super simple explanation of why raw is better is because cooking chemically alters the substances in food, making them less usable to the body. What can't be used by the body is waste and when our bodies are overcome by too much waste, disease is the result. Disease is the result of toxicity. Also, a raw diet excludes most if not (depending upon which raw approach you are following) all of the types of foods that are not biologically appropriate to humans.
