Benefits of Raw Food Diet to our Health

After a big feast or other heavy meals, we usually push back from the table, yawn and feel so tired we're impelled to take a snooze. We put that tired feeling down to overeating, and that's a part of it. But there's a further explanation. When we feed on cooked food, the body fights back. The stomach and intestinal tract reacts to the mass of cooked food by rushing white blood cells to the scene resulting to swelling and bloating. The temperature in the localized area rises and a fever develops. In case you didn't recognized this reaction, it is the same one the body exhibits in the presence of an infection and around a tumor.

Cooking destroys all the living digestive enzymes in food. The body is forced to secrete an extra supply of digestive enzymes in order to process the dead mass. Research in Europe tells us that the body reacts in the same way when just part of the meal is eaten raw- if the cooked food is ingested first. However, if we first eat some raw foods before consuming the cooked portion of the meal, the reaction does not occur.

Very few foods are not good for us in their raw state. Raw potatoes are just not tasty, even though their nutritional value is high. raw beans contain a protein like substance which can cause indigestion. Raw eggs eggs white contain another protein like element which inhibits the absorption of important B vitamins.

But it's delightful to begin a meal with a big salad of leafy greens and raw vegetables. Make sure your salad contains shredded carrots, garlic green or red bell peppers, hot peppers radishes and onions along with dark leafy lettuces, Spinach is one of the best. Dress your salad with linseed oil and cottage cheese based salad dressing and give your long suffering stomach a rest.

Artificial Food Pro's and Con's

There are artificial foods that doctor's also suggest to eat or use to his patients, because there are some reason's why they suggest it. For example a diabetic patient, diabetic patients are often prohibit to eat foods that are rich in sugar, so how can a patient eat sweet foods, here the doctor advise the patient to use aspartame. Aspartame is a kind of artificial food that is alternative for sugar, like sugar it taste sweet.

But base on studies they have suspicion in the short term safety on using aspartame, because they receive medical complaints like allergic reaction hives and rashes, there are also complaints of behavioral disturbances like sleep disorder, hyper acidity, depression, loss of vision, headache, diarrhea abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities and intense thirst.

Another kind of artificial foods are fake fats, example of fake fats are simplesse and olestra. Fake fats are made for intentionally make calories we eat are less than fats. There are fake fats that are made from starch like corn starch, cellulose gel, whey and oat bran, there are also fake fats from the combination of sugar, protein and edible fatty acids from egg white and whey that can make make big molecules that is passing through digestive system without changes.

But the side effects of eating fake fats is the deficiency on fat soluble vitamins A and E.
