10+ Reasons Why You Should Consider Transitioning To Raw

Are you considering transitioning to raw foods, but don't know why you should make the transition? Eating a plant-based diet is one of the BEST decisions you can make towards your health. There are over 100 reasons to consider a plant-based diet; here are 20 reasons. You won't regret making the smart decision to transition. :)

10 Reasons Why You Should Consider Transitioning To Raw

1. WEIGHT LOSS - Fresh fruits and vegetables are great for weight loss. A low-fat, raw vegan diet will help you lose and/or maintain your weight. Check out FullyRaw Kristina's video on her top 10 favorite weight-loss foods. 
2. LONGEVITY - Raw foods are anti-aging and promotes longevity, because all the vital nutrients are enzymatically raw. Cooking foods above 115 degrees ages you quicker and does not promote longevity. Cooked food is toxic food, as it destroys all the living enzymes. More about cooked foods talk coming soon. 
3. ENERGY - Since enzymes in raw foods are not destroyed, you will gain more energy like never before. Raw foods are LIVE foods. Dead foods (such as cooked foods) make you tired and sleepy. Raw foods makes you look and feel ALIVE. 
4. MEMORY - When you eat clean, you gain mental clarity. Raw foods, such as blueberries and bananas help improve memory. 
5. SLEEP - Raw foods are high in magnesium, calming your nerves to help you sleep better. When you eat more clean, your body will start to sleep more restful and peaceful. My sleep has definitely improved on a raw foods diet.  
6. HEALTHY - Organic, non-GMO raw foods are super healthy for you! Your body is alkalinized, rather than acidic. Eating raw foods helps boost your immune system, metabolism, cures diseases, aches, pains, and any illnesses. Raw foods prevents you from getting disease (disease cannot thrive in alkaline body, only an acidic body), helps balance your hormones and pH, prevents you from getting sick and getting a disease, keeps you strong, provides you with vital nutrients, and more! Truth health is not found in a packaged bag/box or in a pill... it's found in nature! 
7. BETTER DIGESTION - Raw foods are high in fiber, making them great for those who have colon cancer and/or suffer from constipation. Fresh fruits and vegetables will naturally relieve constipation. Dates, oranges, pineapple, mangoes, (and more!) are all  great for constipation. Tip: chew your food very good, until it's mush! Swallowing your food and the lack of fiber in the food are the 2 top reasons why many people are constipated. 
8. SELF-CONFIDENCE - Raw foods makes you look and feel amazing, giving you that self-confidence you were probably lacking in. Eating plant-based makes you feel comfortable in your own skin, because it's anti-aging. 
9. LOVE - Like Arnold Kauffman quotes, "Every moment is a moment of love. Once you understand that, you understand how raw foods works." Raw foods is loving foods. When you eat cruelty-free, you become more loving not only with foods-but with humanity and all living creatures. Loving cells are happy cells. 
10. SAVES LIVES - When you transition to a raw foods diet, you save the animals! Nothing should have to sacrifice to go on your plate.
