The Natural Diet For Excellent Health
Ali Bautista | January 19, 2010The natural diet is also known as the raw food diet and this diet consists of mainly eating uncooked foods. These foods include dried fruit, nuts, sprouts, beans, vegetables, unprocessed plant foods, grains, seeds and seaweed. The vast majority of the food should be eaten raw.
The theory behind the natural diet is that important enzymes present in the raw food are broken down and become inactive when the food is cooked above 116 degrees Fahrenheit. These enzymes will help with digestion. Those that follow the diet believe that each food has a life force that will go away when it is cooked.
Some of the health beliefs that have made the natural diet popular is that it gives you increased energy, helps with weight loss, provides better digestion, improves your skin and reduces the risk of heart disease. There are almost no saturated or Trans fat in the natural diet because these fats are not found in nature.
Basically you can eat raw or whole foods, and organic products are preferred. Some foods that can be included in the diet are nuts, beans, legumes, seaweed, freshly juiced fruits and vegetables, young coconut milk, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, seeds, grains, dried fruit, unprocessed natural foods and purified water.
While you cannot heat any of the food you can manipulate it in other ways. Some foods need to be processed a bit in order to make them more digestible. It is possible to blend food in a blender, soak nuts and dried fruits, sprout seeds, beans and grains, juice fruits and vegetables and dehydrate foods.
This diet has none of the dangerous side effects that are present in so many other fad diets. This diet is similar to many detoxing diets and you may experience some symptoms associated with detoxification. These symptoms are slightly like a type of withdrawal in which you may experience cravings, nausea and mild headaches.
