Enzymes are found in raw food, but are destroyed in cooking. Cooked food therefore requires the body’s enzymes to digest it, which can take up to 70% of our energy. Going raw means the enzymes which are both the life force and the digestive power are still in the food and can assist in digestion. This makes much more energy available to the body for other process such as living, cleansing and repair. A raw diet is a healthy low calorie diet so a healthy way to lose excess weight.
