Raw Benefits

raw-01Discover the benefits of a raw diet!

Raw and living foods contain nutritional, digestive enzymes that are believed to be destroyed when food is heated about 115 degrees Fahrenheit. By keeping food below 115 degrees, those enzymes are kept intact and benefit your body the way nature intended. Because all of your minerals, herbs, vitamins, and hormones need enzymes to properly function, a diet without living foods can lead to disease, excessive weight gain, and loss of energy. The following are benefits many experience as a result of a raw food diet:


Lipase and Protease are enzymes found abundantly in raw live foods that assist in weight management. Lipase helps your body with digestion, fat distribution, and fat burning. Without lipase, fat stagnates and accumulates. Protease helps break down proteins and eliminate toxins. Eliminating toxins is essential to burning fat because your body stores excess toxins in body fat.

When you eat cooked food, your body receives a signal that you are not getting sufficient nutrients. Your body then thinks it needs to store fat to prevent starvation and increase appetite. This cycle can easily lead to overeating and fat accumulation.


Raw foods are rich in Vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants. These ingredients boost your immunity and may reduce risks for serious illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.


Eating raw foods provides an energy boost that must be experienced to be believed! Plants lose nutrients when heated above 116 degrees and particular enzymes are killed. If you stay away from highly processed foods and focus on eating as raw as possible, energy will increase due to high enzyme and nutrient content. By eating a predominantly raw diet, Brad unlocked a youthful vigor and energy that he had not experienced since his 20s!


When you eat raw foods you are consuming a higher content of fiber. This improves digestion and elimination processes in your body. Additionally, the human body produces approximately 22 different digestive enzymes that are capable of digesting carbohydrates, protein and fats. Raw vegetables and raw fruit are rich sources of these enzymes.
