The scientific basis for the contribution of raw food to improve your health is not to cook it. Elevated temperatures destroy certain properties in food and lead to the loss of nutritional benefits. One of these are the enzymes are best effective for the body when taken without subjecting them to destructive heat. Raw food may consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, dried fruit, and seaweeds.

Raw food can also be sourced from farm outputs which have not been subjected to synthetic fertilizers and/or pesticides. These are called organically grown produce. These products are also dairy/hormone-free, and contain no antibiotics, unlike certain meat and poultry produce grown on a commercial scale.

HEAR IT FROM CHELOY:
At 19, I became pregnant and was diagnosed to have preeclampsia.  My sugar levels also shoot up from time to time.  As a result, my baby died two days before her due date.

Despite this sad experience, I still went on with the same lifestyle.  My blood pressure went up as high as 280/110 and was even confined several times.  At 23, I had a mild stroke.

I became a walking drugstore and regularly visited hospitals.  I took beta blockers for my blood pressure and medications for high cholesterol.  I even enderwent Lithotripsy to get rid of kidney stones and had occasional allergies with skin patches as big as one peso coin.  In addition to this, I had high liver enzymes, arthritis, pharyngitis, gastroentritis.  I also experienced hair loss and migraine attacks that would last for 3 days.  In most cases, I took headache medication only to suffer stomach side effects.  Having all these ailments eventually resulted to my application for health insurance.

Then one day, I told myself enough is enough. I wanted to wake up in the morning free of headaches and sickness.  I just wanted to wake feeling light, fresh and energetic..

I started reading more books and other materials about raw food.  I also read about medical and wellness practitioners' substantiated claims on the effectiveness of the raw food diet for the human body.  I was convinced and attended a raw food school to know more and see some evidence.

The rest, as they say, is history.  From a sickly person who always had bad mornings, I became healthy.  In just a matter of days, I was able to leave behind all those maintenance medications, early morning sickness, high sugar levels, dizziness and lack of sleep, high cholesterol readings, and everything that had made me feel always sick and tired.
