Even if you aren't too sure about all the information out there saying how beneficial raw foods are for your body (read this great article on the alkaline benefits of raw foods, and why that matters), adding them to your diet and seeing how you feel is the real test. I'm feeling the most energetic I have in many, many years, and I'm not even 50% raw on most days.

We had no idea it was so easy to get hugely nutrient foods into our diet, one such superfood is chia.
