Raw Food Diet For Healthy DetoxRaw Food Diet For Life In The Urban Jungle

It is no secret that we as a species consumes a large amount of cereal grains. It is our breakfast, lunch, our dishes and entrees. It is in our Mexico, Italian and Chinese staples.

Grains even constitute the bulk of our favorite snacks and desserts.

And according to the Department of Agriculture United States (USDA), the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society, this is a good thing. These institutions believe that "whole" grains, such as wheat and rice, must be the foundation of a healthy diet.

Want to know what I think? (Since you're reading my blog, I will assume that you does.)

The Department of Agriculture, American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society is totally false. You do NOT need to be healthy grains. In fact, I will delete all of your raw food diet.

Would you eat raw?

It seems a silly question, but be patient me here for a moment.

If You are in the wild forage for food and found a wheat field, would you be prepared to some?

Would your mouth watering at the sight of raw, unprocessed grains, wheat, without drying out?

For the 1% of what we respond to yes, I have to wonder about the genetics present in poultry possible lineage.

In a more serious note, eating raw beans is not only unappetizing to the human palate. The grain damage: Rethinking high-starch diet, Dr. Douglas Graham writes:

At best, raw beans and bitter unpleasant taste, even when they are germinated. More often, they are edible or poisonous if eaten in the field. Even birds, mess natural grain, feed their young with insects, like grains are deficient in protein and nutrients.

In addition, ripe fruit immediately calls attention to our senses. It is beautiful to behold. Its scent makes us salivate. Da very well in our hands.

Last but not least, tastes wonderful fruit. What sane person can honestly resist a perfectly ripe peach or melon scented?

What about cooked cereal?

You may think that cooking beans is a better option than eating raw.

Think again.

When a food complex carbohydrates carbon such as wheat or barley is heated, the molecules of foods that have been merged into a substance that acts like glue. Although the kitchen has been broken simple complex starches into glucose, the body must do extra work to process the molecules chemically now merged.

This presents a major problem terms of blood sugar levels. At left in the dark, the authors Graham Glynn and Tony Wright writes:

The carbohydrates also appear to be problematic when eaten in large quantities. A diet high in carbohydrates, especially refined carbohydrates (cookies, pasta, etc) dumps large amounts of glucose in our bloodstream quickly. This can cause insulin resistance which disrupts the absorption of glucose bloodstream. This in turn can lead to obesity, adult onset diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks and strokes.

And a little further down the page:

"If we compare the refined carbohydrates with fruit can see that the fruit has a much lower rate of blood sugar, which means it is digested more slowly thus avoiding the problems of the rush of glucose. '"

But that's not all! These are some of the problems associated with the consumption of cooked grains:

• Migraines
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Depression
• Crohn's disease
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Autism

But beings Humans have been eating grains for thousands of years!

While 10 to 30.000 years may seem long to us, humans have a life just 100 years (at best), it is not just a flash in the pan evolutionarily speaking.

Here is an excerpt from the human diet: its origin and evolution the increased consumption of grain from the Neolithic period (when humans settled and began farming extensively):

Become reduce grain consumption depends on the fruit and vegetables, often 20% or less of total energy intake. Consequently, access to micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals) previously supplied by fruits and vegetables decreased substantially.

Of course, cereal grains also provide micronutrients but not necessarily those who became accustomed to human biology over a year of experience billionaire evolution during which fruits and vegetables were the overwhelming dominant plant foods.

Quite simply, we have been consuming a diet rich in grains long enough for our anatomy and physiology have adapted to them.

And anyway, the grains do not meet our nutritional needs fruits and vegetables. For example, they are very low in vitamins A, B and C and sodium and calcium.

This is why when you pick up a box of cereal or whole wheat pasta, you will often see "Fortified" preceded by a large amount of vitamins and minerals that have been added to the product.

Not only that, but that certain properties in the grains affect the absorption of vital nutrients within the body. We now know that cereal consumption decreases href = "http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/01/02/truth-about-eating-grains.aspx"> vitamin D absorption.

And while Many advocates of dietary fiber from cereals site as a reason to rejoice, there is a huge problem here. You see, the fibers in grains are soluble in water as found in fruits and vegetables, are insoluble.

This means that lack the capacity to absorb water and move easily through the body. Think of a brush a bristle brush slowly making their way through your digestive tract.

Yikes!

Leave It To the Birds

In summary, there reason for you to eat whole grains. raw or cooked, are totally inferior to fruit and raw vegetables.

If you have trouble getting enough calories on a raw food diet, no need to resort to sprout grains and legumes … for that matter. Simply increasing your intake of fresh fruit until you are satisfied will the trick.

Remember, fruit always comes first.
