What is raw foodism or a raw food lifestyle?
Raw foodists eat primarily uncooked, non-processed, and organic foods. Generally speaking, if 75% to 100% of a person’s total food consumption is raw food, then he or she is considered a raw foodist. Raw plant foods are generally defined as foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Raw foodists believe that foods heated above this temperature lose much of their nutritional value and natural enzymes and are harmful to a person’s body.
