Health Benefits of Eating Raw Organic Food

One of the latest diet crazes is the raw food diet. It may seem like an odd idea to eat all your food raw, but it's really only natural. Raw food is extremely common, in fact it's eaten by every animal on Earth - except humans and their pets. Raw food eaters tend to live longer and be healthier than those who eat cooked food. Take the time to learn about raw dieting and you'll know that it's not another 6 month fad.

Cooking food can kill important nutrients. Water is the most important thing we need to survive. A large portion of our bodies are made up of water, and if we don't replenish it, we die. Raw food retains its water content, but cooked food doesn't - making cooked food harder to digest. Cooked food also contains far lower levels of vitamins, proteins, and other important nutrients.
