Is the Raw Food Diet Good for You?

August 18, 2009

Is the raw food diet good for you?  In a word, yes.  However, there are also some cautionary measures to take.

A raw food diet should improve your skin and energy level, plus fill you up with healthy nutrients.  All good for you.

What you want to be aware of is that it is difficult to get an adequate amount of  B-12 in a raw food diet.  You may need to supplement with vitamins or Spirulina.

Iodine is another element that can be hard to get if you are not using iodized salt.  There are also supplements such as kelp which will give you a good amount of iodine.

So, yes a raw food diet is good for you – just be aware of the things that are lacking so you avoid any problems.
