When it comes to the best way of eating for health, everyone is unique. However, for a lot of people, “going raw” has been the method that has reaped the most rewards in terms of overall health benefits. If you are considering eating more raw foods or trying a total raw foods diet, you might want to consider how it will affect your hormonal balance. Read on to learn how “going raw” can affect your hormones, as well as some great benefits and cautionary considerations.

What is a Raw Food Diet? 

First of all, let’s take a look at what it means to “go raw.” Eating raw means that the food that a person consumes is organic, unprocessed, and uncooked. As a technical note, a food is considered raw when it has not been heated past 118?.

Contrary to popular belief, a raw food meal really can be just as delicious and satisfying as a cooked meal, as well as being super dense in nutrients. These days, the cookbook section of your local bookstore (as well as online) is chock full of creative dishes that can be made raw and served up to the satisfaction of even the pickiest eaters!

Raw food dishes are created in large part by blending, sprouting, juicing, dehydrating, and presenting foods often in their simplest forms. Surprisingly, you don’t have to stay away from meat and dairy to be a “raw foodist.” Some raw foodists also eat raw meat and dairy. Examples of this would be sashimi (or fish such as tuna that is lightly seared on the outside but still raw on the inside), raw eggs, or raw goat’s milk.

Raw foodists who also eat meat and dairy in this way have the advantage of not having to worry about getting adequate protein and healthy fat in their diet (we will talk more about this later on in the article). On the other hand, raw foodists who eat animal products in their raw form have the added responsibility of needing to take extra precautions.
