Raw Food Diet – 32
The raw food eating method dates from the late 1800s when a doctor named Maximilian Bircher-Benner discovered that eating raw apples might treat his jaundice. The diet has continued to evolve due to these trials examining the impact of raw food on human health.
The raw food diet includes foods that have not been cooked, microwaved, processed, irradiated, genetically altered, or exposed to herbicides or pesticides, among other things. Plant-based meals never heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit will make up about 75 to 80 percent of what raw foodists consume each day. Only a tiny percentage of the population consumes 100 percent raw foods.
