What IS a Raw Food Lifestyle?
A raw food lifestyle incorporates eating habits that consist of uncooked, unprocessed foods. Some say at least 75 percent of your daily intake must be raw food, but generally speaking, foods are raw if they have not been exposed to temperatures in excess of 48 degrees C. Foods eaten by those following a raw food lifestyle consist of vegetables, fruits, nuts, sprouts, seeds, and sometimes dehydrated foods like cereals. There are numerous variations on raw food diets, but on the whole, if your daily intake of foods is predominantly raw, you're on the right path.
