A raw food diet encourages eating unprocessed food, which is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cognitive decline. However, some variations of a raw food diet reduce or eliminate consumption of salt and oil, reducing the amount of essential sodium and healthy fats in the diet.
ReplyDeleteA raw vegan diet may be beneficial for heart health due to its higher portions of fruits and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteAs example, I decided to tell you about my good friend Ana, that is a Nutrition Student at University of Medicine in Iasi, who told me that in her’ s first Erasmus project in 2021 their team made an research, on 100 raw vegan citizens of Belgrad, which showed that vegans may have up to a 75% lower chance of developing high blood pressure, so it’s advantages includes such as reduced diabetes risk.
As a disadvantage, it can also be low in calories and high in natural sugars, affecting a person’s health. Also The raw vegan diet excludes a wide range of foods, so there is a risk that a person may not get all of the vitamins and minerals they need. For example the vitamin B12 is acquired from meat, which the raw vegans do not consume. So these persons are having a vitamin B12 defficiency that may cause anemia, dementia, affected nervous system, irritability and visual problems.

Your oven gets a rest on this diet. 😊 You'll mostly be eating raw fruits, vegetables, and grains.The idea is that heating food destroys its nutrients and natural enzymes, which is bad because enzymes boost digestion and fight chronic disease. In short: When you cook it, you kill it.Some fans of raw food diets believe cooking makes food toxic. They claim that a raw food diet can clear up headaches and allergies, boost immunity and memory, and improve arthritis and diabetes.
ReplyDeleteMy personal opinion is that one should eat a bit of everything, in the correct amount and the perfect combination, that follows the rules of a perfect plate. It's perfect to include raw food, and it's recommended even, but you shouldn't have only raw food, for the rest of your life. There are certaing veggies that are better assimilated while being cooked.

During cooking, vitamins and antioxidants can be affected in several ways. Heat exposure, particularly at high temperatures, can lead to the degradation of heat-sensitive vitamins like vitamin C and some B vitamins.Vitamin C and vitamin B1 are destroyed by boiling and baking, vitamin E is partially destroyed, vitamin B2 is heat-resistant but tends to disappear upon contact with water, and vitamin B9 is destroyed by cooking at high temperatures.Antioxidants may be partially destroyed or degraded during cooking, depending on factors such as cooking method, temperature, and duration.

I'm not very familiar with many individuals who have embraced the raw vegan diet, but there were instances in the past when there was some coverage about two well-known figures: Ioana Ghinghina and Andreea Raicu.
They talked about this diet as being successful for weight loss and maintaining beauty.
