The Benefits of a Raw Food Diet

The raw food detox is a diet that has been making waves for many reasons. People that are embarking on this diet plan, are not doing so simply for weight loss reasons. Many people are embarking on the raw food detox diet plan in order to cleanse their bodily systems from the build up of toxins and harmful chemicals.Many holistic health professionals and naturopaths believe, that disease begins in the body, when preservatives, sugars, smog, pollution, other unnatural chemicals and food byproducts - that are a part of everyday foods in the human diet, or the earth's environment - are not excreted from a person's body. These chemicals become built up in parts of the human body like the colon, the lungs, the brain, the lymph nodes and the liver.The raw food detox is designed to cleanse the body of these dangerous, disease causing chemicals, with the help of natural, unprocessed raw fruits, vegetables, spring water, and minerals.In many ways, the diet is actually a fast. A person must abstain from all meat products, fast food products, starches, sugars, desserts, alcoholic beverages, and caffeine. The diet only allows the consumption of raw fruits, vegetables, real fruit juice, and vitamin supplements that are commonly used to cleanse the body. These supplements can include, milk thistle herb, alfalfa, activated charcoal, fiber, and red clover. All fruits and vegetables consumed on this diet plan should be organic. There should be no use of unnatural preservatives, or fertilizers used to grow or preserve the food consumed.Because the diet plan is so limiting, many people find it hard to follow it on their own. This is why many people opt to follow this diet, with the help of a detox diet center. Because the center monitors the person's intake of food, and liquids, the person is not able to abandon the diet, in favor of non-recommended foods. In addition, the person will be isolated, and will not be tempted by non-recommended foods available, and within arm's reach.If a person has will power though, the raw food plan is quite inexpensive to adopt. The only thing that is important to control is the source of the raw fruits and vegetables that are consumed. But most community grocery stores now have an organic section in the produce aisle. It is not as hard as it once was to find organic produce.There is a question of damage done by the diet plan. There is some risk in damage to tooth enamel, and suffering from vitamin deficiency. But these issues only arise after prolonged use of the diet plan. Medical professionals recommend that the diet only be used for one or two weeks at a time, and that cooked foods, soups, and other foods be introduced into the diet, and consumed on a regular basis.
