Raw and Cooked.



Does raw food or cooked food disgest faster?
Firstly, when raw food is exposed to a temperature of 118 degrees, they start to break down, it contains enzymes to digest food. Once the enzymes are exposed to that temperature, they are no longer to provide the function they were designed to. Raw food is easily digested and is digested faster than cooked food. Since raw food has alot of enzymes that helps in digestion, raw food is digested faster compared to cooked food.

So, is it better to eat raw food or cooked food?
Raw food is much better as it is easily digested. Cooked foods contribute to chronic illness, because their enzyme content is damaged and thus requires us to make our own enzymes to process the food.
