27 Benefits Of Eating Raw Foods

Here is a list of the major benefits that come from eating a diet based primarily on raw foods.    I've been eating 95% of my diet as raw vegetarian foods for the past 8 years and I've been teaching people to do the same for the past 5 years. 

I have personally experienced each one of these benefits and have seen many of them repeated again and again in 1000s of friends and clients who have decided to make raw foods a significant part of their daily diet.

When you read a list like this before experiencing the raw food diet for yourself, it can seem a little exaggerated.   I can understand if you're skeptical.  I would have been if I read this list 10 years ago too.   But the only way to find out for yourself is to try this way of eating.

To achieve these kinds of benefits it is important to eat a diet of at least 80% raw food for a minimum of six weeks.  Everyone who does this will experience at least some of them.
