Before I answer that question, let me share why we need to eat more raw foods.
Because raw foods have enzymes, which help our food to digest, they are important in the digestion process. The enzymes in raw foods break down particles so they can be utilized for energy.
Enzymes are proteins and they have a unique 3-dimensional structure. Once they are heated above 118 degrees, the unique structure begins to breakdown. Once they have been exposed to heat the enzymes no longer contribute to the process of digestion for which they were made.
