Raw Foods Diet is Beneficial to Your Health
The benefits advocated from eating such a
diet seem endless: lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels, eliminating
cravings, preventing overeating, purging the body of accumulated toxins,
balancing hormones, maintaining blood glucose levels and reversing degenerative
diseases.
There can be some side effects when you are first starting a raw foods diet. Some detoxification effects may be experienced as your body attempts to shed some toxicity. This may include occasional headaches, nausea sensations and mild depression. If these symptoms persist, you should seek the help of somebody who is experienced with detoxification symptoms.
Following a raw food diet means
that you have to carefully plan your meals to make sure you don't fall short of
essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. In some instances it might be
appropriate to consider taking dietary supplements, especially when just
starting out. You'll need to invest in some appliances so
that you are able to prepare the food, if you don’t already have them
available.
A durable juicer, a blender
and a large food processor make raw food preparation a breeze. You may also
want to look into purchasing large containers to soak sprouts, grains and
beans, as well as for storage. A durable juice extractor for your fruits and vegetables.
The smoothest way to begin a raw
foods lifestyle is to slowly transition into it. Try starting off by eating
approximately 70 to 80 percent raw foods in your diet. Have fruit and salads
throughout the day and a cooked vegetable meal with a salad in the evening. This
should help make the transition easier on your body and hopefully lessen side
effects associated with detoxification.
This is an emotional time as well, so
you should allow yourself plenty of time to make the switch. Journaling during the process can help.
Before you know it, you’ll be feeling the positive effects of a healthy,
detoxifying raw foods diet.
