You’ve probably been hearing a lot about the value of a raw foods diet.
A raw food diet consists primarily of uncooked, unprocessed fruits,
vegetables, sprouts, seaweed, nuts and juices. It’s a vegetarian diet,
but one that rejects any animal products. Its central tenet is that
cooking and processing take out the majority of essential vitamins,
enzymes and nutrients that our bodies evolved to thrive on.

Many of the health benefits derived from a vegetarian diet have to do with creating a healthy environment in the bowels and stomach.
Our digestive systems, from prehistory on, were designed to metabolize vegetable matter, more than animal products. Fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts provide the kind of dietary fiber our digestive systems need to function properly. The Western diet that’s high in processed and refined flour and sugar, and in animal products that are laden with hormones and antibiotics, are actually anathema to our insides.
Now that I have two kids of my own, I see why: it’s easy, nutritious and tastes delicious! Basically there are a few basic ingredients and the rest is optional. It’s super-easy to customize this soup to your tastes!
I’ve been in the market for a good vegetable soup recipe, and this one looks like it fits the bill. It’s got plenty of vegetables and even works in corn and potatoes, both of which I love in soups (though I don’t recall the last time I’ve ever had them both in one soup bowl). And maybe the best part of this recipe is that it manages to work in chorizo while still maintaining its “healthy” label. Talk about healthy and delicious.
Many people think if they just eliminate red meat and poultry from their diets, their eating healthier. This is partly true, but there are hazards to eating fish and seafood as well. The harm that humans have done to the environment has had a direct effect on the fish and seafood we eat.
There are elements of fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish and shellfish contain high-quality protein and other essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat, and contain omega-3 fatty acids.
