What is the Raw Food Diet?
The raw food diet is a diet based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, nuts, dried fruit, and seaweed.

Heating food above 116 degrees F is believed to destroy enzymes in food that can assist in the digestion and absorption of food. Cooking is also thought to diminish the nutritional value and "life force" of food.

Typically, at least 75% of the diet must be living or raw.

What are the Benefits of the Raw Food Diet?
Proponents of the raw food diet believe it has numerous health benefits, including:
Increased energy

Improved skin appearance

Better digestion

Weight loss

Reduced risk of heart disease
The raw food diet contains fewer trans fats and saturated fat than the typical Western diet. It is also low in sodium and high in potassium, magnesium, folate, fiber and health-promoting plant chemicals called phytochemicals.

These properties are associated with a reduced risk of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. For example, a study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that consumption of a raw food diet lowered plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations.

What are the Guidelines of the Raw Food Diet?
1. What can I eat?

Unprocessed, preferably organic, whole foods such as:
Fresh fruits and vegetables

Nuts

Seeds

Beans

Grains

Legumes

Dried fruit

Seaweed

Unprocessed organic or natural foods

Freshly juiced fruit and vegetables

Purified water

Young coconut milk
At least 75% of food consumed should not be heated over 116 degrees F.

2. What cooking techniques are used?

Specific cooking techniques make foods more digestible and add variety to the diet, including:
Sprouting seeds, grains, and beans

Juicing fruit and vegetables

Soaking nuts and dried fruit

Blending

Dehydrating food
3. What equipment can I use?
A dehydrator, a piece of equipment that blows air through food at a temperature of less than 116 degrees F.

A good-quality juice extractor for juicing fruit and vegetables

A blender, food processor, or chopper to save time

Large glass containers to soak and sprout seeds, grains, and beans

Mason jars for storing sprouts and other food
Side Effects

Some people experience a detoxification reaction when they start the raw food diet, especially if their previous diet was rich in meat, sugar, and caffeine. Mild headaches, nausea, and cravings can occur but usually last for several days.

Precautions
The raw food diet may not be appropriate for certain people, such as:
Children

Pregnant or nursing women

People with anemia

People at risk for osteoporosis - A Washington University study found that people following a raw food diet had lower bone mass. Bone turnover rates, however, were similar to the group that ate a standard American diet.
Considerable time, energy, and commitment is needed to be healthy on the raw food diet. Many of the foods are made from scratch. Some ingredients may be hard to find, such as Rejuvelac (the fermented liquid drained from sprouted grains), sprouted flour, date sugar, young coconut milk, carob powder and Celtic sea salt.

People must be aware that certain nutritional deficiencies can occur on the raw food diet, including:
Calcium

Iron

B12 – The Journal of Nutrition study found that a raw food diet increased levels of homocysteine due to vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Protein

Calories
Critics of the raw food diet say while it’s true that some enzymes are inactivated when food is heated, it doesn’t matter because the body uses its own enzymes for digestion. In addition, cooking makes certain phytochemicals easier to absorb, such as beta-carotene in carrots.

Another critique is that the human body has changed in response to eating cooked foods. Some of these changes are that are jaws and teeth have become smaller, our stomachs have shrunk, and our small intestines have grown longer, lengthening the digestive surface area.

According to other alternative diet theories, such as macrobiotics, Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine, a raw-only diet may not be appropriate for people living in colder climates or for people with certain constitutional types.

Hi, I have a 2 and a half year old french bulldog with an extremely sensitive stomach. To give you all some background, when we first brought her home at 12 weeks she was on Royal Canine for puppies. After just a few weeks she basically stopped eating it and eventually we switched to Merricks Puppy Plate. At first she seemed to love that but also stopped eating it after a few weeks. We slowly changed her food over like we had read so I know that wasn’t the issue. She started getting real bad diarrhea and after some research we decided to try and switch to a raw diet of those frozen raw lamb patties. Once again she ate them at first but after a little while would not eat at all.

Again she was getting sick a lot and after numerous vet visits they recommended we try the Science ID or the Natural Balance sweet potato and venison since they said the raw food was way too rich for her. We tried the Science ID first and once again she seemed to love it for about two weeks and then would not eat unless she was completely starving. So then I tried the Natural Balance sweet potato and venison. Finally it seemed like we had a winner as she was having great stools and seemed to like the food. Low and behold after a nice run she stopped eating the food again. She also started having a ton of mucus in her stool and bad bouts of diarrhea off and on. Again we took her to the vet and had her stool tested with every test coming back fine.

So a month ago I started to mix in canned chicken into her kibble. I made sure to find the lowest sodium canned chicken there was and when i mixed it in she seemed to love it and would finish all of her food. Again we had a nice run where things seemed to go well but then the diarrhea and mucus came back and she has had a few days of vomiting over the past few weeks. Since the vomiting only occurred a few times over the course of a couple weeks and there has been no blood or diarrhea at the same time I have not brought her back to the vet.

When she does eat she seems to try and only eat the chicken and really doesn’t seem to like the Natural Balance sweet potato and venison kibble at all anymore. Is there a different kibble out there i should try or have I totally screwed her up by switching her food so much? I just really want her to be happy and healthy but just dont know what the right thing to do at this point is. Is it bad that I have been using canned chicken? I read that it should be ok and my vet said that it should be great. Someone else told me that chicken may be hard on her stomach and that i should use cooked ground beef instead. It just seems like everyone has a different opinion and I dont know what is the right way to go at this point. I have also thought about trying a different kind of Natural Balance like the duck and potato but am afraid that she will like it for about a month and then stop eating again.

Sorry for the super long-winded question but I just wanted to give as much detail as possible. Thanks in advance for any response!

but low in sodium? kroger? my doctor told me to cut back on salt but since i live in houston, texas im not sure what store would sell this type of food? not just frozen food but all types of food in general. can a nutrition expert please answer this one. rsvp. thanks.

Semen contains aboutonia, ascorbic acid, blood-group antigens, calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, choline, citric acid, creatine, deoxyribonucleic acid, fructose, glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid, sodium, sorbitol, spermidine, spermine, urea, uric acid, vitamin B12, and zinc.

If a person’s diet is does not contain enough vitamins, over ejaculatioin could deplete the body of important vitamins such as zinc, phosphorus, potassium, etc.

This will cause hair loss, fatigue, depression, etc.

It is a scientific FACT that masturbating more than 2-3 times a week is harmfull, specially if your diet is not rich in vitamins and nutritious foods.

Many doctors say that masterbating is not bad, and it is not, but over doing it is very harmful to your body.
Jesse B, I don’t care what you think. You can masturbate as many times as you want, just like you can drink untill you totally get drunk everyday and overtime become an alcoholic.

It’s your body. I was just stating scientific facts last published doctors in my clinic.

Masturbatin is not bad, but over doing it is. Just like drinking a glass or two of red wine everyday is healthy but drinking a bottle a day is bad.

Ejaculating more than 2-3 times a weeks is not recommended by most doctors if not all.
If you do ejaculate more than 3 times a week, at least have a diet rich in zinc, iron and other important vitamins because over-ejaculating will drain you of these important vitamins.

Are you a sushi fanatic or do you have trouble getting past the thought of eating raw fish? Well, it turns out that our national indulgence in this tasty and visually enticing treat from Japan may also be good for our health.

Sushi is generally made with white rice and sweet rice vinegar, fresh vegetables, seaweed, sesame seeds, and cooked or raw seafood. Like many other Japanese foods, sushi tends to be low in fat, cholesterol, and calories.

In addition, sushi that has seafood as an ingredient is often an excellent source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which lower the risk of blood clots and decrease triglyceride levels.

The fresh vegetables in most sushi also have essential vitamins and minerals. The seaweed wrapping for these rolls is rich in micronutrients and phytochemicals.

A few cautions if you are an avid sushi eater but have high blood pressure or are pregnant or nursing. Sushi made with seaweed tends to be a little higher in sodium, as is the soy sauce that each piece is dipped in.

Too much sodium in the diet contributes to high blood pressure. And if you are pregnant or nursing, be sure to avoid sushi made from fish, either raw or cooked. The raw fish may carry unwanted bacteria and any sushi made from fish, whether cooked or uncooked, is likely to contain high levels of mercury.

Alberta populations of woodland caribou have been in the past several years. One major influence has been the logging of mature forests which contain lichens necessary for caribou to survive the winter.
The young regenerated forest provides good food supply for moose, deer and elk, which, in turn, will attract and support the growth of a wolf population which preys on the caribou.
Oil and gas activity in these logged areas further increase human contact with the caribou and increase poaching and accidental deaths. The wolves use cutlines and skidoo trails to increase their hunting range.
The table below shows the changes in the populations of animals in the time following the logging of a mature forest
Changes in Three Populations of Animals

Gout-a condition that results in joint swelling and pain-is caused by the formation of sodium urate NaC5H3N4 crystals within tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Sodium urate will precipitate out of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormally high. This could happen as a result of eating too many rich foods and consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimes referred to as the "disease of kings."

If the sodium concentration in blood plasma is 0.140 M, and K_sp for sodium urate is 5.76*10^-8, what minimum concentration of urate would result in the precipitation of odium urate?
