Eating raw food: one eating style<\/strong> which is good for our health and makes us feel light<\/strong> e full of energy<\/strong>You probably know that it's recommended to eat five servings of fruit and vegetables every day, but especially in summer, remember to eat as many raw vegetables as possible to ensure you get more water and valuable nutrients.
\nThrough its fruits, nature spontaneously provides us with many beneficial nutrients for our bodies. However, if we cook them, we risk losing at least some of their nutritional properties. The main things that deteriorate are vitamins such as vitamin C, which is thermolabile (i.e., particularly sensitive to high temperatures), and digestive enzymes.
\nThere is a real one raw food diet<\/strong> It advocates eating exclusively (or almost exclusively) raw foods to maximize the nutrients and vital energy of the earth and its fruits. It's essentially a diet based primarily on fresh and dried fruit, raw vegetables, sprouts, seaweed, flowers, and grains, with only occasional inclusions of small amounts of cooked foods.<\/p>\n

Even if you don't follow a true raw food diet, you can definitely increase the amount of raw food you eat each day. What benefits await you? Here are 10.<\/strong>:
\n1. Raw fruits and vegetables have a greater quantity of water<\/strong> and consequently promote hydration
\n2. Raw foods are rich in enzymes that they aid digestion<\/strong>
\n3. The greater the amount of mineral salts and vitamins<\/strong>
\n4. They give a boost of energy<\/strong>
\n5. They help the detoxification<\/strong> of the organism
\n6. I am rich in fiber<\/strong> which promote intestinal well-being and cholesterol reduction
\n7. Satisfy<\/strong> and consequently help you lose weight
\n8. They are rich in antioxidants<\/strong> that counteract cellular aging
\n9. When eaten at the beginning of a meal, raw food allows you to avoid \u201cdigestive leukocytosis\u201d<\/strong> that is, the activation of the immune system which reacts to cooked food and which in the long run can lead to its weakening
\n10. They allow you to discover the authentic taste of food<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course we are talking not only about eating raw food but also about eat organic<\/strong>. Fruit and vegetables from traditional crops are rich in pesticides and the benefits of \u201craw food\u201d are significantly reduced if chemicals are added to vitamins and mineral salts!
\nRaw vegetables can be seasoned simply with oil and lemon, limiting the salt and perhaps replacing it with spices, aromatic herbs or gomasio (sesame seeds with a small percentage of salt).
\nIf you are looking for new raw food recipes<\/strong> you can try for example the zucchini and carrot noodles<\/strong>. This is raw spaghetti made from these vegetables, which can be served with other raw vegetables like julienned fennel and arugula, as well as sunflower seeds and a peanut-lime sauce. A true raw delight!<\/p>\n

Do you find it difficult to incorporate more raw foods into your daily diet? There's a simple trick everyone can do to achieve several benefits: eat salad or other raw vegetables before every meal.
\nEat salad before every meal<\/strong>
\nStarting a meal with a salad or raw vegetables is a healthy eating habit. Why? Since raw foods are rich in digestive enzymes, starting your meal with these foods helps your stomach function and can help reduce bloating.
\nIt's a great idea too for those on a diet<\/strong> since eating a nice plate of salad right away is a way to make the stomach feel full sooner, saving less appetite for the subsequent courses that are generally more caloric.
\nEating raw food at the beginning of a meal also helps you better absorb the valuable nutrients contained in vegetables, especially vitamins and minerals. This is because the stomach is empty and can process them first.<\/p>\n

How to make the perfect salad<\/strong>
\nThe perfect salad is one that combines different types of vegetables, flowers, roots, sprouts and to which perhaps some oil seeds or dried fruit are added to make it more complete and rich in nutrients.
\nSo, fill up on energy by enjoying, for example, a mixed salad with spinach, sprouts and almonds, or choose other combinations such as arugula, cherry tomatoes, olives and walnuts or even tomato, cucumber, Tropea onion and olives (with feta if you want to make a real Greek salad).
\nThere are many possible combinations, find your favorites and put them on the table every day!<\/p>\n
