Ways to Improve Your Raw Food Diet

Recently I reviewed an essay on evolution and the human diet and concluded with 4 main ways to improve the modern human diet:

  1. Eliminate Salt Intake
  2. Eliminate Grains and Replace with Fruits and Vegetables, with an emphasis on sweet fruit
  3. Exercise Everyday
  4. Limit Fat Intake

Unfortunately, modern Americans with their SAD diet are not the only ones guilty of ignoring the lifestyle points above. Many health conscious individuals and their so-called nutritious diets fail as well.

For instance, vegans are known for eating tons of grain-based meals coupled with staggering levels of salt and oil. And while many vegans don't struggle with hyperadiposity, there is definitely no shortage of under-muscled veg-heads.

But what about RAW vegans? Well, it seems that there is much room for improvement amongst this special class of health hobbyists as well.

Salt

The average raw foodist eats too much salt, as well as other spices and condiments. Here's a raw soup recipe I found while scouring the web:

  • South River unpasteurized miso
  • Tomato concentrate by Premier Research
  • Hijiki
  • Goji Berries
  • Hemp Seeds
  • Raw Honey
  • Sea Salt (pink himalayan salt is a great option)
  • Other seaweed (optional)
  • Nutritional flakes (optional)
  • Agaricus mushroom powder (optional)

Can this really be considered a recipe? It seems to be made up of flavorings rather than actual nutritious food.
