Raw foods are immediately absorbed by the body because of the presence of enzymes in the food. It is for the same reason that the nutrients in raw foods are so readily available to the body are many time more easily digested by the body. Cooked goods are a great deal of labor for the body to digest, absorb nutrients from and pass through. Deep fried foods pose the greatest difficulty in this regard. Raw Foods essentially come pre-digested, meaning they are ready to be absorbed by the body and do not have to be digested.
Cooked foods require enormous bodily resources, especially enzymes, to be digested.
People don t stop to consider what they are putting in their body because they are not educated on nutrition. Instead, sadly, we are conditioned. Conditioned to believe that if it comes out of a box, can or jar, its okay to eat it, regardless if it contains chemical substances and preservatives we cannot even pronounce. Consuming soft drinks is not questioned because marketing has duped us into believing their couldn t possibly be wrong with putting something so profoundly acidic as a carbonated soft drink. The nutritional panels on packages reflects the pitiful amounts of nutrients that are actually in processed foods.
