Of course I can't answer this question for everyone (one person might do it for animal rights, while the next might do it for religious reasons!.!.), but here are 10 reasons the raw vegan diet is beneficial!. Hope this helps you, my friend!.
1!.) Raw foods are better quality; therefore, you eat less to satisfy your nutritional needs!. The heat of cooking depletes vitamins, damages proteins and fats, and destroys enzymes that benefit digestion!. As your percentage of raw foods increases, you feel satisfied and have more energy on smaller meals because raw food has the best balance of water, nutrients, and fiber to meet your body's needs!.
2!.) Raw foods have more flavor than cooked foods, so there is no need to add salt, sugar, spices, or other condiments that can irritate your digestive system or over stimulate other organs!.
3!.) Raw foods take very little preparation, so you spend less time in the kitchen!. Even a child of 5 or 6 can prepare most items for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!. This gives children a sense of self-esteem and independence, not to mention the break it gives Mom or Dad!.
4!.) When you are eating raw, there's little chance of burns, unless you're in the middle of a forest fire or out in the sun too long!. Just think! No burns to tongues, the roof of your mouth, or fingers, and many fewer house fires!.
5!.) Cleaning up after a raw meal is a snap!. No baked-on oils or crusty messes!. And any inedible parts go directly to the compost pile!.
6!.) Eating a diet of raw foods can reverse or stop the advance of many chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer!. Remember, cooking creates free radicals, which are the major cause of cancer!. When you lower the number of free radicals your cells are bombarded with, you lower your risk of cancer!.
7!.) A raw food diet can protect you from acute diseases such as colds, flu, measles, etc!. Raw foods maintain a healthy body, and a healthy body will not become diseased!.
8!.) As long as you combine raw food properly according to the rules of Natural Hygiene, you will soon reach a level where you no longer suffer from heartburn, gas, indigestion or constipation!.
9!.) It is environmentally sound!. With humanity on a diet of raw foods, the food industry would close up shop and take up organic gardening!. This would save us enormous amounts of natural resources used to produce power for these industries!. Nuclear power would be clearly unnecessary!. And think of how many trees and oil reserves could be saved without the need for the paper and plastics used in packaging our processed foods!.There would also be less carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere when all the cooking stopped!. More oxygen would be produced from all the new orchards and gardens, thus helping to reverse the Greenhouse Effect!.
10!.) Eating raw saves you money on food, vitamins, pots and pans, appliances, doctor bills, drugs, and health insurance!.

A lot of people feel it is the healthiest diet!. Processed food is without a doubt worse for you than unprocessed food, and there is evidence that certain enzymes and nutrients may be destroyed when heated above a certain temperature (about 120 degrees fahrenheit I think)!. However, some foods have basically been proven to be better for you when cooked, because the nutrients are actually easier to absorb when heated!. But a raw vegan diet is still one of the healthiest diets if done properly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
