# Can Raw Food Reverse Aging?

## What is raw food?

 Rawism, or raw food diet, is an uncooked diet pattern consisting of only uncooked foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, fermented and sprouted grains and beans; raw meat, fish eggs and dairy products produced without pasteurisation or homogenization or any artificial pesticides herbicides fertilisers solvents or food additives are allowed as part of this diet plan.

 Advocates of the raw food diet maintain that cooking destroys important enzymes, making food harder to digest. Yet evidence for this claim remains uncertain; heat does not always make cooked foods harder to digest; in fact some nutrients such as fat-soluble vitamins may even be better absorbed when eaten raw (Carmody & Wrangham 2010).

 Eaten mostly raw diet can provide high levels of fibre that promote gut bacteria, strengthen immunity and protect against diseases such as cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Furthermore, this diet is low in saturated fat while providing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in abundance.

Furthermore, eating fermented foods may disrupt normal intestinal microbiome balance leading to symptoms like constipation and diarrhea arising more often as a result.

 An effective raw food diet focuses on eating fresh, local produce instead of packaged or processed items; this will reduce environmental pollution related to packaging and shipping as well as food waste that ends up in landfills or rivers or oceans.

 People who follow a raw food diet should still consume some cooked foods; however, one or two servings per week is ideal to ensure adequate digestion of high-fat items like nuts, seeds and dried fruit. Cooked beans and whole grains also offer an excellent source of protein and fiber content.

## What are the benefits?

 Eat raw food diet can increase fruit and vegetable consumption while decreasing processed food consumption, leading to weight loss and improving heart health, according to some studies. It may also contribute to weight loss. It is wise to consult a registered dietitian prior to making such lifestyle changes; raw diets can contain sodium and saturated fat-rich food sources as well as unpasteurized dairy products which increase your risk of Salmonella, E. coli or Listeria infections.

 People following a raw food diet must ensure they have all of the appropriate kitchen tools to prepare their meals, such as a juicer, blender and dehydrator. Furthermore, they should know which vegetables such as cassava leaves or rhubarb leaves are toxic or unsuitable for consumption raw; also avoid eating uncooked meat, fish eggs or sprouts or unpasteurized milk products.

 An absolute raw food diet may not be recommended as it can be difficult to obtain sufficient calories and nutrients from it, leading to deficiencies of B12, calcium and protein in certain cases if meals aren’t planned carefully or supplements aren’t taken on board.
