What is a Raw Food Diet?

The raw food diet consists primarily of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. The food we consumes is unprocessed, uncooked, whole living foods. Most of our food is eaten raw in it's natural form. However a small portion of the food we consume is dehydrated, anywhere between 104 and 118 degrees. Heating food above this temperature will kill the enzymes present. Enzymes are the life force of our food, helping us to digest food and absorb nutrients. By consuming cooked food it is forcing your body to work harder and produce it's own enzymes. Why not eat these healthy foods that already have the needed enzymes present rather than making your body work double time. Below is a raw food pyramid as well as a video of us discussing what raw food is to us. Check them out! :)
