Hello my name is Kelvin.
I stumbled onto raw foods by happenstance. Here is my story in a nutshell. I'm 32 going on 60 bc knees, lower back, shoulder--all are in a state of dysfunction from years of playing sports, running and weightlifting.
Seen a few orthopedic surgeons and doctors but rejected the standard voodoo of cortisone shots and anti-inflammatories. I like my liver and kidneys and chose not to take the garbage symptom masking remedies.
Anyways my teammate is 55 and moves around like a gazelle. He runs full speed, covers ground in yards and throws gracefully--all pain free. His secret is raw food. I'm giving it a shot.
I'm making the transition slowly meaning 80 percent raw, 20 percent cooked. I still eat bread and a little bit of meat with friends or family.
I see some benefits already but my question is what are the full benefits of eating raw and what vegetables do you recommend?
Thank you ahead of time for the advice.
