A Raw Foods DietIt's Delicious, Healthy & Fun!Enjoy a raw foods diet which includes unprocessed and uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, dried fruit and seaweed.

How Do You Cook the Food? Special cooking techniques used to make your food more digestible plus add variety to the diet, include:
Your Choice of Equipment A dehydrator, a piece of equipment that blows air through food at a temperature of less than 116 degrees F. A good-quality juice extractor for juicing fruits and vegetables. A blender, food processor or chopper to save time. Large glass containers to soak and sprout seeds, grains and beans. Mason jars for storing sprouts and other food. What are the Side Effects? For me, a happier and healthier life. But, keep in mind, some of you may experience a detoxification reaction when starting a raw food diet - especially if your diet (prior to changing) was rich in meat, sugar and caffeine. Symptoms may include a mild headache, nausea and cravings that may last for several days.
