I came across the idea of eating only, or mainly, raw vegan foods about a year ago. It made so much sense that I couldn’t let the idea go by. The benefits that people seem to enjoy when going raw are just so great that it’s worth to try it out. The things mentioned here in this post are not from medical perspective, rather from common sense point of view. Although on some later post I would explain or refer to a more scientific explanation of these points.

Here are some the reasons eating all raw, or mainly raw, vegan food makes sense:

• Well, we are part of nature and as the nature tends to provide all creations with what they need to survive we should have also been provided by  nature what we need to survive and thrive. Coocked kebabs, steaks, bread, Twix choclate full of  fat condensed suger and artificial colors, do not seem to be what we meant to eat to stay healthy! Rather fruits, vegetables and greens that are readily edible are what we were to eat.
• Only 4 of our teeth (Canine teeth) are suitble for eating meat, all other teeth are suitable for eating vegetables and fruits.
• Although we can eat and digest (well, sort of!) meat, it’s doesn’t seem to be what is natural to us.
• Our closest biological species, the Chimpanzees,  only eat fruit and vegetables.
• In nature calm animals which usually have strong body structure, live long lives, and are usully more useful to their environment are vegetarian. Think of Gerfee, Elephent, Cows, Sheeps etc. On the other hand Carnivores (meat eaters) tend to be aggressive predators, having short lives and not very useful for their environment. e.g. Tigers, Lions, Leopard, Dogs, Wolves etc.
• Cow’s milk is produced for the baby Cow not adult homo sapiens (humen) ! How on earth do we think something that is produced by a Cow for it’s baby could ever be digested by an adult human? Sure, the cow milk is full of useful nutrients but can we actually absorb them? Cows actually have 4 stomachs to digest that milk! So, again, it doesn’t seem to be what we suppose to eat naturally.
• Live (raw)foods have digestive enzymes in them. When foods are cooked they lose almost all of their enzymes so our body needs to produce those digestive enzymes by it self, sucking nutrients and energy from different organs. That’s actually the reason we feel tired and sluggish after eating cooked food.

These are some of reasons eating raw food makes sense. Let me know what you think of this topic and if you would like more info on this. You can also check my friends blog on raw foods.
