Is it healthy to have one raw-food meal every day?
Natural medicine practitioners say including at least one raw-food meal a day can be beneficial, as uncooked foods retain their natural nutrients and enzymes. They suggest choosing fresh fruits such as apple, banana, mango, papaya, orange, grapes and watermelon, along with vegetables like carrot, cucumber, tomato, beetroot, cabbage, greens and lettuce. Sprouted green gram and chickpeas, nuts such as almonds, walnuts and peanuts, and seeds including sunflower and flax can also be eaten directly. Coconut and tender coconut water are listed as raw options that do not require cooking or processing.
