At the time when I switched to raw foods, I was training for a half-marathon and wanted to increase my performance. And let me tell you, it absolutely worked and a few weeks later I exceeded my wilded expectations at the race. Coupled with the mental clarity, boost of joy and higher energy levels - I knew pretty soon that this was not just an experiment but would become my new way of life.
So why can raw food have such a powerful effect on us? Let me share some insights with you how it works in our body:
🌿 DEEPLY HYDRATING:
Raw fruits and veggies contain high amounts of living water and therefore naturally hydrate our body.
🌿 IMPROVED DIGESTION:
The frequency and ease of bowel movements tends to change by incorporating more raw vegan meals. Plant foods are rich in dietary fiber and greatly help to improve our bowel management.
🌿 NUTRIENTS AND ENZYMES:
The process of cooking often decreases the health properties of nutrients. Enzymes are one of the substances that don’t survive the heat. These powerful catalysts have their hands in all the processes our system works on - digestion, energy storage, fighting off pathogens or cell regeneration.
🌿 EXCESSIVE MUCUS:
A healthy amount of mucus is vital for our system. But there is often excessive mucus which impacts the proper functioning of our whole body. By consuming more raw fruits, vegetables and leafy greens we automatically eat less mucus-forming foods and our body gets the chance to free our system of mucous congestions.
🌿 LOWERS OBSTRUCTIONS:
Arnold Ehret put down the equation “vitality = power – obstructions” meaning that we simply need to remove any obstacles to naturally increase our vitality. Incorporating more fresh, raw fruits and vegetables not only increases our nutrient intake but also automatically reduces the amount of processed, acidic, heavy, mucus-forming meals we consume.
As a result, we can gain more energy, increased performance, clarity of mind, sharpened senses and more balanced emotions. Even incorporating one raw fruit meal a day can already give you more vibrancy!
