Have you ever thought about how ingeniously our organism is able to withstand and adapt to global changes on Earth and around, in the solar system? Think about what a man was like a couple of hundred thousand years ago, what he ate and how he breathed. All this will push you to a romantic mindset on the topic of raw food and vegetarianism, which seem to approximate the true nature of man.
But imagine a fantastic: do not you go there, and they are here. Take the primitive man to this second, to your city, to your house. He will die, taking only one breath, because we can not even imagine how much our oxygen differs from the then. And what now, do not breathe? Why, for thousands of years people have become accustomed to a certain composition of air, water, food, all this was not happening by the magic wand, like pollution, of course, that's our ingenious organism and adapted.
Do not eat or breathe
When raw foods claim that the consumption of raw foods is more natural for human physiology than thermally processed, in response, one can only say that the absorption of Mesozoic oxygen is more useful than the exhaust gases of the capital. Conclusion: we will not eat processed food and will not breathe modern air. This is really the right, basic raw food!
Physiology
The obvious harm of raw food is only in one thing - what a person has been going on for many years, wants to be crossed out by a raw food in one day. You can not do it this way. Give yourself, at least, several millennia, so that the body is able to get used to and reconstruct.
When a person ate raw meat, his gastrointestinal tract was arranged in one way, when a person discovered fire, the stomach adapted to a new kind of food, which, incidentally, became a relief for digestion. When agriculture began, the man began to grow cereals, vegetables, fruits , the body "became acquainted" with these products, learned to develop new enzymes, to develop new hormones. In a word, step by step we went to what we now simply take, and thoughtlessly, instinctively digest. Now you want to use some functions of the body, those that are responsible for digesting raw and making sure that he forgot about the functions that you, according to your personal principles, are no longer appropriate to the worldview. Well, he will do it!
Effects
Our body is almost perfect. You stop eating meat, which means that a certain set of trace elements ceases to arrive: vitamin B12 (it is found only in meat), animal proteins, phosphorus, iron, calcium - without all this, anemia characteristic of vegetarians will quickly come.
When something does not enter the body, it understands that it is necessary to modify and adapt to a new way of life (what you wanted) - why "feed" the cells that were originally created for the assimilation of B12? Remove!
The obvious minus and delusion in raw food is that "drinking vitamins" (see the whole life!) Does not work, even if the vitamins are very expensive and quality. After all, your body has already recycled the cells that primitive man once created in a grain to absorb these very vitamins, and not from pharmacy packages (he did not have the opportunity to be a fruitarian), but from meat.
But that's not all.
Protein
Beans, of course, are still that protein product, but what do you say that meat protein is better absorbed by the body, since the animal amino acids (which make up the protein) are closer in structure to human ones. When the body is not given a protein, he takes it himself:
- Every day the body of every person, any person consumes 100 g of their own protein;
- when consuming a sufficient amount of protein, this is compensated;
- vegetarians (any!) can not compensate for this, because even after eating a few pounds of beans and lentils, you do not digest as much protein as from a 200 gram piece of beef.
On the face of muscular depletion of vegetarians. On the forums about raw food, the obituaries of the young suddenly dying saviors - at 21, at 28 years old. Why do we believe in some posts in blogs?
