WHY RAW FOOD?
by Gina Shaw MA
Health and Nutrition Consultant & Health Educator
You may have heard about people eating raw food and drinking juices to detoxify themselves
but you may not know the ins and outs of why. The truth is, cooked food is considered as
poison to the human body, in fact, every time we eat cooked food our white blood cells
multiply to get rid of the invader! This process of white blood cell multiplication is
known as digestive leucocytosis. Our bodies are not designed to eat cooked food and it has
to be eliminated as quickly as possible or else stored in adipose tissue. Human beings are
frugivores and can only live healthfully on a diet primarily consisting of raw fruit, nuts
and seeds and green leafy vegetables. Raw plant material is the only thing our bodies'
recognise as food and eating this way is the only way to achieve maximum vitality and
optimum health.
For many years we have been told that we must have lots of protein in our diet, or lots of
calcium and, we are told, meat and animal products are our way of providing this.
Actually, meat and animal products are the hardest things for the human body to digest and
result in poor health, directly or indirectly. This is not only because they are cooked
but also because the human body is not designed physiologically to consume flesh foods or
flesh products. This means that the consumption of this type of food results in an
inevitable putrefaction and the resultant poisonous by-products play havoc with our
health. All cooked foods are classed as alien to us and the only way the human body can
take in nutrients is when the food we eat is whole, raw and plant. This means that
anything other than that is thought of as poison and the body tries to expel it or store
it away to prevent it from causing harm. A diet consisting of mainly or solely raw food
gives us ALL THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED and is all the body requires for its vital functioning.
Don't be fooled by the myths!
On switching to a raw food and juices diet many people have allowed their bodies to heal
from life-threatening diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. and have
turned around the ageing process.
