Though it is true that raw foods have several benefits, and must be a necessary part of any diet, it is also true that basing a diet on just these foods can be a lop sided one as the important nutrients that come with other kinds of foods may be missed out on.

Some of the benefits that come along with the consumption of raw foods include reducing the risk of heart diseases and several kinds of cancer. This is mainly because raw foods are low on saturated fats. Also, its rich fibre content along with low salt and high potassium levels makes it ideal for a low cholesterol diet.
