Diet Chart For raw food

Raw food diet is basically designed with a concept of easily digestible food with no loss of nutrients. As opposed to the processed food available in the market which is pasteurized, homogenized and loaded with chemical stabilizers, the diet is unprocessed and hence it retains the required nutrients and enzymes. Raw food diet has benefits like low cholesterol, low inflammation problem, improved digestion, clear skin, etc. Leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits like orange, coconut, sprouts, salad, etc. qualify for the raw food diet. The diet should be followed with care, so it would not result in any deficiency. Raw food fundamentally means that the food is not cooked or processed with heat and not synthetic. However, food can be cut into the desired way but any processing before consumption is not allowed. This, ultimately, results in healthy and digestible food. One of the most important benefits that the diet has is less amount of fat.

Following is the list of raw food:

1. Vegetable and fruit juices

3. Almonds and Nuts
4. Beetroots and green smoothie
5. Milkshakes
6. Lassi and Sprouts, etc.
