Raw food diet: natural, but risky for nutrient deficiencies

According to a report from Vietnam.vn, a fully raw food diet can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Although raw food is often seen as more natural and healthier, this does not automatically mean it provides a balanced diet.

Without sufficient cooking processes, certain nutrients may be harder for the body to absorb. According to the source, deficiencies can occur in vitamins and minerals that are normally made more available through processing.

The report emphasizes the importance of being aware of the risks of an extremely limited diet. A fully raw food pattern may require additional attention and possibly supplementation to prevent deficiencies.

This report is a summary based on the mentioned source and is not medical advice. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have complaints.
