Get Ready to RAWk!
With summer just around the corner there are so many delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables that are coming into season. I get so excited when I think about all of the colours and flavours! With such an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, summer is the perfect time to incorporate RAW food into your diet.
RAW Food Isn't Just for Rabbits
Many people associate RAW food with eating salads or carrot sticks and celery. Technically speaking, RAW food simply means any food that hasn't been heated above 115 degrees. There's some disagreement about the exact temperature, but most people believe anywhere from 105 to 118 degrees. This means that you can still enjoy warm soups and heated food in the winter, while still eating RAW!
RAW food is for everybody! This doesn't mean that you need to eat RAW 100% of the time, but it is something that you should incorporate into your diet on a regular basis. RAW foods contains active enzymes (which are unfortunately destroyed when we cook food). These enzymes help with every single chemical reaction that happens in your body. We're only born with a limited amount of these enzymes, so it's important to supplement your body with them.
