Raw Food, Less Water

Raw food, less water

When you start eating more raw foods, you may find you"re not as thirsty or don't need as much water or other beverages as you normally do. There are several reasons for this.
First of all, raw foods, such as raw fruits and vegetables have a higher volume of water in them, so your body is getting the hydration it needs from foods.

This doesn't mean you should stop drinking water or juices. You don't want to adopt some of the more radical elements of the raw food trend. First and foremost, listen to your body. It will tell you what it needs. If you"re overweight, sluggish, tired, depressed, your body might be telling you to make some dietary changes, and raw foods might be one way to alleviate some physical disorders.

But if you"re overweight and have symptoms of Type II diabetes, overwhelming thirst can be one symptom. When you start consuming more raw foods, with a higher fiber and moisture content, you may start to lose weight, and that can go a long way to reducing your blood sugars.

If you"re not overweight, or don't have Type II diabetes, you still might find you"re not as thirsty as you normally are. First of all, if you"re drinking water and juices, you"re not consuming caffeine, which is so dehydrating and makes you thirstier. And by not consuming as much in the way of cooked foods or especially highly processed foods, which have astronomical sodium counts, you won't be as thirsty either.

By consuming more raw, uncooked food, and pure water and fruit juices, you"re putting your body into balance. Keeping sodium to normal levels found in foods means you"ll start to require a more balanced amount of water. Don't think of this as changing or taking away. Think of it as adding balance, and it will make the process of eating healthier much easier.
