Can You Stay Healthy On A
Raw Vegan Diet?
Can you stay healthy on a Raw Vegan Diet? The answer to this
question is a definite Yes! A Raw Vegan Diet is not only
healthy, it has innumerable benefits. You will find a long
list of historians and celebrities who follow the Vegetarian
diet and lots of research on the advantages of adopting a
Raw Vegan Diet.
Apart from the health benefits of giving up meat- reduced
risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular ailments,
lower instances of cancer and diabetes and a more manageable
blood cholesterol level; a leafy diet is also a guilt free
meal as animal lovers will testify. The notion that
vegetarians lack calcium and minerals in their diet and
hence suffer from bone degeneration and other health issues
is a grave misconception. A vegetarian diet is rich in
minerals and vitamins, especially Vitamin C, carotenoids,
folic acid and unsaturated fat.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens, an eminent medical doctor and
Psychiatrist has conducted lots of research on how to
survive and flourish on a raw vegan diet. The vegetarian
world is full of delicious possibilities, if you know how to
choose the right kind of food. A vegetarian diet which
contains mostly uncooked food has very few drawbacks and is
extremely beneficial. You only have to refrain from
overeating starches and processed foods. Other than the
traditional vegetarian sources of nutrients like
green leafy vegetables, grains, nuts, and
fortified juices or soymilk, there are some
superfoods which are power-packed with all the possible
vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy mind and body.
There is a wide variety of such superfoods available for
vegetarians.
These superfoods are being used by Raw Food experts like Dr.
Cousens and David Wolfe for many years and can work wonders
for your body.
