RAW IS ALL ABOUT

• Nutrient Density• Enzymes• Fiber• Hydration• Avoiding Toxins & Synthetic Hormones• Avoiding Additives

RAW IS ABOUT MAXIMIZING NUTRITION

• A raw diet is about eating living things that have not been corrupted by heat or chemical processes.

• Raw foods are full of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, phytosterols, phytonutrients, flavonoids, glyconutrients, essential fatty acids, and much more

• These nutrients operate thousands of pathways in over 50 million cells.

RAW IS ABOUT EATING THE RAINBOW

• Every color has different nutrition

• The darker & richer the color, the more nutrition you can expect

• Think green grape versus red grape versus purple grape

• Think white potato versus sweet potato versus purple potato

Reds Resveratrol, ellagic acidQuercetin

Anticancer, anti-inflammatoryPowerful antioxidant. Eliminates free radicals. Protects and regenerates vitamin E

Oranges Carotenes (over 40) Convert to vitamin A. Powerful antioxidants.Eyesight improvers

Yellows Limonene (citrus)Pinene (tropical fruit)

Anticancer Anticancer

Greens Indole-3-carbinol, thiocyanates

Isothiocyanates, sulforophaneZeaxanthin, luteinRich in minerals

Blues Bilberry, blueberry Antibacterial, anticancer. Improve eyesight. Very powerful antioxidant

Purple/indigo Lycopene, terpine Prevent prostate cancer. Specific heart protection. Crossover with reds

Whites Allyl sulphides

• Lightly steamed• Sautéed• Fried• Microwaved

• The exception• Squash• Tomato• Carrots

RAW IS ABOUT ENZYMES

• Enzymes are denatured at 108 degrees• Enzymes are destroyed at 118 degrees• Most cooking is over 200 degrees to about 350 degrees• Cooked food

• Requires more energy to break down

RAW IS ALL ABOUT FIBER

• Heat breaks down the fiber• Fiber binds 80% of the food’s sugar allowing you to only absorb 20%• Fiber feeds gut bacteria• Gut bacteria make butyrate• Butyrate feeds cells to edit out DNA mutations

RAW IS ALL ABOUT HYDRATION

• The average newborn is 90% water• The average elder is 50% water• Why do people get shorter as they get older?• Chronic subclinical dehydration• Most fruits / veggies contain up to 80% water• Cooked food contains less water

RAW IS ALL ABOUT AVOIDING TOXICITY

• Clean food is simple food• Processed colors make us dumb• Synthetic sugars destroy our immune system• Fried foods shrink our brains• Trans fat kill our heart• Gasoline flavors, colors, and containers• Cooking food destroys the antioxidants and vitamins that protect us from the

toxicity
