Raw Foods vs Cooked Foods | Dr. Rick Dina | Mastering Diabetes

Raw foods vs cooked foods — which one is better? Cooking our food is basic. We want them to be tasty. But it's no secret that cooking also changes the food's nutritional content. That's why we are also taught to steam our vegetables. Some argue that eating raw foods is the way to go. But cooked foods do have clear nutritional benefits

Dr. Rick Dina is an advocate of raw food nutrition. Like the plant-based community, he also eliminates processed and packaged foods, animal products. But is it necessary to get rid of all or most cooked foods? Turns out — No.

Here's Dr. Rick Dina to talk about the benefits of both raw and cooked foods.

I like the hybrid mix. 90% raw myself.

[vanihansen]

I went raw today to get my health better.. I've seen people who wore glasses no longer need them and curing things like cancer.. I'm diabetic I'm hoping it gets better.

The best raw thing I found is to make these big chopped vegetable dishes where everything is diced really fine and there's vinegar sauce in it so that you get a partial vinegar digestion and then let that sit in the fridge for a day. This makes things tender easy to chew and reminds me more of cooked food. Far superior to cooked vegetables regarding how I feel

[isabellezablocki]

I learned so much with Rick at the Fort Brag Institute. Personally I enjoy beans very much. I am more raw in the summer and more cooked in the winter.

Can you provide a link to the entire interview? 🙂

Seasonality is an important factor too. I live in west Texas and we are deep in winter right now. Freezing. Produce is not the best right now and with supply chain issues etc… Cooked Whole Foods with some veggies and the few fruits in season is A ok for me.

Cooked/ steamed food 💗 feels more satisfying, but together with a salad its the best.

Please give us a picture of what the optimal raw food diet looks like. And we need several different kinds of examples. We need to know what an athlete might eat on such a diet. I am an older woman who has a lot of trouble losing weight. I am sedentary. What should my diet look like optimally?

HI I JUST GOT MY A1C TODAY I WASNT HAPPY☹😡 THE DOCTOR TOLD ME 12.2 I WENT UP I WAS 10.2 I WANT TO START EATING PLANT-BASE WHOLE FOOD PLEASE HELP ME QNS, NY

I’d like the comparison of a raw Whole Foods plant based diet vs a hybrid raw and cooked whole food plant based diet with no oils. You can’t take someone off the SAD diet and then turn them into raw eaters then of course they’ll get better! But you do as well with a hybrid raw and cooked diet. I’m 70% raw and feel great and my bloodwork is flawless. I do feel better and lighter if I’m mostly raw. I consume a lot of greens, fruit and vegetables. But I crave sweet potatoes, have to have a half of a sweet potato a day. I also have two servings of beans and two servings of grains.

[Adeline]

Dehydrated food is the way to go. Preserves enzymes.

[desireehall-blqt]

Raw food is the best lifestyle and can heal their body temple

[dj-feck]

I wouldn't be fully raw or 90% raw even for 1 trillion dollars. Eating 2000+ calories from fruit everyday is too much sweetness for me, and I don't feel happy. High carb low fat half cooked half raw or mostly cooked is also far better than high fat raw.

[Adeline]

Some vegetables are more nutritious raw. Like broccoli i think.
Then i think i heard cooked carrots are healthier cooked. Don't quote me.

[divarose]

How do you get your healthy fats in with only fruit and veggies???

[woodlakesound]

Adding some conservatively cooked items too a basically raw diet is a net benefit. Those who believe otherwise have mental issues.

[roopasculinary]

I don’t think Indian cooked food is so bad

[OneFruityMama]

I disagree with the comment on fruit and the teeth. Better oral hygiene will take care of that.

[worldhello]

What do you mean by diabetes? I am type 1 diabetes and still venture into the raw food diet with sprouts, wild herbs, vegetable and fruits. Wild herbs are something you can get for free in the wild, e. g. stinging nettles, goutweed, etc. They are full of nutrients and unlike vegetable not overbred. Those plants have to survive on their own in the wild.
@3:17 ... and you are less likely to have an anal fissur by not eating lots of American "bread", also called toast. It is technically bread but not that good for your butthole. 🤔
