 This Month's Expert Conversation
with Elizabeth Fraser of Girl Gone Raw
This article is the second of a series of expert conversations that we will be featuring throughout the year. SRG: How do you define "raw food"?EF: The raw & living foods lifestyle is fun, tasty and simple: it entails eating a diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds & sprouted grains-and nothing heated over 118 degrees. The food is creative, colorful & beautiful. SRG: What are the health benefits of eating raw foods?EF: There are so many benefits to eating a high raw vegan diet! A few of them are weight loss/balance, increased energy, mental clarity, clear skin, and overall improved health. It is also a very environmentally friendly way of eating because raw food consists of mostly fresh produce or bulk foods that require little to no packaging, which means less waste & more composting.
