Aren’t raw foods hard to digest?
No, but ithe increase in plant fibre does take some getting used to at first. Humans don’t make cellulase, the enzyme needed to break down cellulose. But because all foods that have not been cooked have the enzymes needed for their own digestion, we can liberate these enzymes AND the nutrients inside the plant cells by blending ~ blended soups and smoothies are excellent ways to transition into a living food diet. The blending opens all the cells in the food and makes the nutrients readily available – the food is essentially pre-digested for you! The second way to get predigested food is to eat sprouts. These are amazingly nutritious and can add lots of vitality to your day, and they are full of enzymes, so these can also help make live foods more digestable and easiy to get used to.
