Raw Foods

When you think of raw foods, vegetables and fruits are probably the first things that come to mind. These should be staples in a healthy diet, and should be consumed at every meal. You just have to decide which of these raw foods are your favorites, and remember to buy plenty each trip to the store. Remember when eating these raw foods that they must all be washed thoroughly before you eat them. They may have e coli on them, and this is not something you want to mess with. Even if the fruit has a rind, you still want to wash it. If there is something unsavory on the rind, you will push it through to the fruit when you cut it with a knife.

Though you should not eat meats as are part of a raw food diet, some people do like to eat raw fish, otherwise known as sushi. Though I have never tried this myself, I know a lot of people like it, and enjoy an evening out just to get some. Any raw foods you consume like this should come from a restaurant that is clean, and has a good reputation. You do not want to eat bad fish, especially if it is raw. If you are pregnant, you may want to skip this altogether.

If you decide to go with raw foods exclusively, talk with your doctor to be sure you are getting a balanced diet. Some raw foods are better than others, and you don’t want to become weak because you aren’t getting what your body needs. Your doctor or a good nutritionist can help guide you in the right direction, and will give you the low down on raw foods and what they can do for you and your health. They should be able to help you with a simple menu plan to get you started if you want to eat better, but aren’t really sure where to start.
