Raw and Living Foods are foods that contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That\u2019s not the whole story, but that gives you the idea. A raw foods diet is what most people would consider \u201cextremely restrictive.\u201d No meats, no dairy, and very few processed foods are allowed. So you\u2019re probably wondering why anybody in their right mind would choose this diet!<\/p>\n
Not surprisingly, it\u2019s for the health benefits. We\u2019ve been on a partly raw foods diet for several months now, and I feel a good ten years younger. We\u2019ve both lost weight, have more energy, and many random health issues have simply vanished. It\u2019s such a healthy diet that we think everyone should give it a try.<\/p>\n
Which brings us to the problem. There\u2019s not a single good raw foods recipe sharing site out there. That\u2019s where we come in.<\/strong> We\u2019ve spent the last week of evenings (and sometimes afternoons) working on just such a site. It\u2019s not done yet, but we want to share some of our experiences building the site with you. So expect to hear more from us about this project over the coming days and weeks. We\u2019ll have a \u201crelease date\u201d for you real soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Using the Ruby on Rails framework to build great sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10537,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[479],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contact.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1846"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
