Myths & Misconceptions

MYTH: You need to eat 100% raw foods and nothing else in order to get the benefits of the raw food diet.
For every type of diet, there will always be purists. But the truth is any increase in fresh, raw foods is beneficial. Simple changes such as eating fruit with breakfast or eating a salad for lunch will give you more energy than heavy foods. Because raw foods are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, incorporating some raw foods into your diet every day is a great step in the direction towards better health and vitality. Now with a wide selection of ready-to-eat products from Roxanne’s adding already prepared, great tasting raw food into your diet is easy!

MYTH: The raw food diet consists of only raw fruits and vegetables.

A raw food diet consists of much more than fruits and vegetables. Sprouted seeds and nuts, seaweeds and juices are all included in a raw diet, as well as some fermented and processed foods such as raw soy sauce, kimchee, miso, raw nut butters and cold pressed raw oils. A raw foods diet can be as complex and interesting as you’re willing to make it. It’s also a great source of healthy fats and protein.

MYTH: Raw foods will cure and prevent all diseases.
Of course, this is not true. Raw and living foods are known to be an important part of a healthy diet and there have been research studies validating a number of health benefits of eating a raw foods diet, such as enhanced immune system function, increased energy and vitality, a younger-looking appearance, and many more. But no foods can claim to cure or prevent all diseases, and every person is different. The diet that is right for you may not be right for another person. Experimentation, adhering to some basic principles such as the need for healthy fats, fruits and vegetables, water and so on, and your own sense of what feels the best are your most trustworthy guides to developing eating habits and a lifestyle that are healthiest for you.
