Why Living Food or Raw food?
Raw Food as Healthier Alternative
Over the years, there had been many types of diets that are featured in different sources, like books and magazines, all claiming to be the best way of staying healthy. Some of them are focused on weight reduction, while others aim otherwise. Raw food is a relatively new form of diet that attracts both health conscious people and medical practitioners. The general aim of this diet is retaining the maximum amount of nutrients in the foods that fall under their category.
The basic definition of raw food is one that is not processed, uncooked, and usually organic. Some of the people who are under this kind of diet also eat meat, while others are on a vegan diet such that they do not take in any meat products. There are also other people that depend solely on fruits, vegetables, or both as their food. There are also individuals whose diet are concentrated on eating sprouts.
In some cases, food that is moderately cooked can still be considered as raw food. However, the heat that is applied to the food should not go beyond a certain temperature. The whole idea behind the thinking that raw food is healthier than processed food is the fact that too much application of heat or simple cooking may remove the essential nutrients in the foods, like vitamins and enzymes.
Other than the preservation of nutrients, raw food are also said to give us other health benefits. Among these benefits are lower number of cases of heart diseases due to the absence of saturated fats. Digestion is also aided by a raw food diet, which is caused by the intake of fibers. Lower weights are also said ti be attained after shifting to raw food diet. In addition, healthier skin is observed in people on this diet as well as stronger immune systems. You may also get more energy from raw foods.

If I am hungry?
Ideally we expect you to come pre-disposed and understand that our “hunger” at certain times is only a “craving” or an “emotional substitute”, and not a nutritional need. We are not psychologists nor are we attempting to make you not “desire” food. However, please make sure you talk to us before embarking on a fish and chip hunt, as our priority is that you make the most of this opportunity and achieve the final goal.
