The simple truth is that a small change to your diet like, eating fruit for breakfast instead of factory-farmed ham and eggs on a roll - can greatly improve your health. Myth Number Two: 'All raw food must be eaten cold.' Absolutely not! In fact, most raw food experts would agree that food warmed up to 104 degrees is still considered raw. So, enjoy warm bread or soup as often as you like. Myth Number Three: 'A raw food diet is only fruits and vegetables.' Actually, many raw food lovers enjoy a wide variety of foods, including, nuts, seeds, nut 'milks', sea vegetables, sprouted grains and fresh juices. You can even try some fermented beverages like Kombucha or processed foods like miso. Want to really know why raw food is so valuable for human health?

Raw food is packed with essential nutrients, enzymes and minerals for easy absorption into the body. Since it takes less energy to digest your food - you'll have more energy for living. Secondly, raw food supports detoxification. The high fiber content helps to rid the body of excess mucus, toxins and accumulated waste products. There's nothing better than a clean digestive system. And, finally, raw food has greater nutritional value than cooked food. Did you know that any food cooked above 118 degrees will lose its enzymes, nutrients, minerals and vitamins? In fact, using Kirlian photography, you can actually compare the energy that surrounds living food to the energy that surrounds cooked/dead food. Living food has much more energy - as seen in Kirlian photography. I hope you can join us for a great show!
