Why switch from cooked foods to raw foods? The answer is quite simple; a diet has to be full of a particular food "that nourishes or fuels the body with life-giving force (i.e. enzymes, electric or vital energy, chlorophyll, minerals, vitamins, etc.), thereby strengthening, energizing and building it, without depleting or causing any hindrance to its functions".
So what is the main difference between raw foods and cooked foods? Enzymes. Among many important factors, the most significant is the enzymes ability to aid the body in the digestive process. These enzymes break down the food in order for it to be absorbed into our blood stream. There are billions of cells in the human body, each doing a particular task. These cells are left completely depleted after the task is complete and need to be replenished.
Raw foods are full of living enzymes that replace those exhausted cells. These enzymes are slowed down at temperatures near 118 degrees F and are completely destroyed at approximately 130 degrees F. Vitamins, minerals, proteins, basically everything required for a healthy life are destroyed at temperatures that "cooked" foods are heated up to.
