Raw Recipes
Paul Nison, the author of a half-dozen books on raw foods, brings a wealth of information and experience in raw food nutrition to the table. When he speaks on the topic, his passion for raw food and its health benefits canscarcely be contained. Paul believes that consuming live and uncooked foods is the most healthful way our bodies can receive nourishment.
When you eat raw foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, all the nutrients and enzymes are present and
intact. If you cook your foods, however, high temperatures may destroy these important nutrients. More and more people are becoming interested in preparing and eating their food raw because they’ve heard that processed and chemically sprayed foods do not offer the best nutrition for the body. Even people who eat “regular” food are realizing that raw foods are packed with necessary nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, phytonutrients, and other nutritive co-factors—all of which can be severely diminished if heated or processed. When that happens, there’s not as much nutritional “oomph” left in the food to nourish the body. That’s why they’re switching their food preparation techniques to include more of this much-easier and more nutritious way of eating.
In addition, the probiotics and enzymes found in raw foods help in the digestive process, allowing the body to break down the food and assimilate its nutrients into the bloodstream.
Paul says eating foods raw may result in:
- Increased energy
- Weight management
- Quicker meals
- Lower cost
- Great taste
