raw foodism

Raw foodism is a dietary lifestyle that emphasizes consuming primarily unprocessed, uncooked plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains. Advocates believe that raw foods retain better nutrients, enzymes, and flavors, which may promote better health and digestion. The diet excludes cooked, processed, and preserved foods, aiming to preserve natural states and maximize nutrient intake. While some find it beneficial, it requires careful planning to ensure balanced nutrition, as certain foods and nutrients may be limited or harder to absorb without cooking.
