To get the most out of the foods we eat especially plant foods, it is to our advantage to eat them raw whenever we can. It is natural for our digestive system to eat a high alkaline diet and our phsiology in general to consume plant food in its raw state to get the full benefits of the phytochemicals found in plant based foods. These "bio-chemicals" give our bodies the boost that it needs to keep our immune system running at full capacity and it is easier to digest. This is probably the way that nature intended for us to eat our food but we discovered thousands of years ago that cooking our food made it easier to chew and in some cases it made the food taste better.
Try consuming roughly 50-70% of your plant food in its raw state for about 2 weeks and see if you notice any change in your health. This may not be long enough to see major changes but i tend to notice that i feel light on my feet and very energetic when i eat a diet high in raw veggies and fruits. I don't go overboard on my plant based as i like to indulge occasionally on treats such as ice cream and chocolate. I still believe in enjoying life. EATING-VEGGIES.COM
