Dating back to the beginning of the 20th century where it was developed by the SwissMaximilian Bircher-Benner, a raw food diet consists of fresh, unrefined, living, plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds. These are eaten without any cooking or steaming as close as possible to their natural state, which allows for the body to more easily digest and absorb the key nutrients and enzymes, which can be lost in the cooking process.

It is suggested that by incorporating raw food into our diets we can help liver function,lower inflammation, improve digestion, improve heart health, and increase energy levels.

While most ingredients in a raw food diet are plant based, it is also possible to add raw fish, eggs, and even some meat and raw dairy products as long as they haven’t beenpasteurized, or produced with the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers, industrial solvents or chemical food additives.

A good rule of thumb for anyone starting a raw food diet is to begin by gradually introducing more raw produce into their daily intake, while at the same time cutting out heavily processed foods. Time and patience is necessary, as is the recognition that any effort however small, will be beneficial to your well-being.
