WORDS Georgia Lockstone

R AW D E A L

We're hell-bent on ditching
unnecessary packaging and
questioning what goes into
our food, so it's no surprise
the uber-pure raw food diet
is gaining momentum.
Developed in Switzerland in
the late 19th Century, it's
centred around the apparent
benefits of consuming only
uncooked and unprocessed
foods, which include clearer
skin and increased energy
levels. But before you embark
on a new way of eating, you
may want to consider the
essential raw data...

THE BARE
ESSENTIALS

Discovered by Swiss
physician Maximilian
Bircher-Benner, to eat
the 'raw way', your diet
should consist mostly
of unprocessed foods
so you'll need copious
supplies of fruits,
vegetables, nuts, seeds
and grains. Some people
even decide to take it one
step further, choosing
to eat raw eggs, meat
and fish, too. To meet
the stipulated guidelines
of 'raw eating', nothing
can be heated above
46 degrees Celsius, so
dust off your blenders,
food processors and
dehydrators as they are
the main tools you'll need
to prepare raw foods

KEEPING IT REAL

The raw diet belief is
heating food destroys its
nutrients and natural
enzymes, which is
disastrous as they are
essential in fighting
chronic disease and
boosting digestion. In
simpler terms, you're
likely to have better
general health if you
keep your food away
from the oven. As Robert
Ross, founder of the
website rawfoodlife.com
says, "Before discovering
fire, we thrived on fresh,
raw, live foods in their
whole unadulterated
state. Cooking allowed
humans to expand across
the world, but we paid
for that with shorter
lifespans and disease"

THE NAKED TRUTH

The general consensus
is that while those
following a raw food diet
benefit from the high
intake of nutrients and
fibre, there isn't a lot of
science to back up the
idea those of us who
heat our food lack key
nutrients and enzymes.
In fact, research has
made it evident the
cooking process is
pivotal in increasing
the availability of
certain nutrients and
antioxidants. Essentially,
the lack of protein
and calories makes it
generally unsustainable
in the long run, but that
doesn't necessarily mean
the odd 'raw' meal still
isn't a good idea
