Making the switch to eating more raw food can be a bit daunting at first. After all, we are all-but preprogramed to cook our food before eating it. Ever since humankind first threw food on a fire to cook, it’s the way most of us prepare our food.
But, eating raw food can have a big impact on your health; cooking often damages the nutrients in the food we eat, so eating raw foods is very good for you.
You can’t just stop cooking your food – that won’t work. You probably won’t enjoy the taste much, and you might even make yourself sick. That’s why it’s important to follow good recipes – like the ones I share on Days to Fitness.
Today’s recipe is a great raw dinner and I’ve tried it several times myself, so you know it’s a good one! If you are new to raw eating, this is a terrific recipe to get you started.
