Raw Food Nutrition for Longevity and Detox

When food is cooked, many nutrients are destroyed along the way.

Raw food nutrition is based on cutting-edge science showing that raw plant foods offer incredible health benefits. High-quality oils restore elasticity to tissues, the fibre and alkalinity in leafy greens keep us clean on the inside, and superfoods rich in silicon and magnesium restore mineral density to bones, hair and teeth.

If we listen to our body's messages, we'll understand that digestive and other ills often arise from eating the wrong foods. Raw food nutrition invites us to return to vitality through living enzymes, essential fats, and clean, plant-based nourishment.

DAVID WOLFE'S SUPPLEMENT PROGRAMME

These 'superfood supplements' increase the body's vital force. Introduce them gradually and observe how your body responds.

  1. Whole-food vitamin C powder – acerola, amla, or camu camu; 2–3 tbsp daily in smoothies. A tissue rebuilder and immune enhancer that works synergistically with MSM.

  2. Mangosteen powder – a potent antioxidant with anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial properties. Take 2–4 capsules daily, increasing to 6–8 before air travel or sun exposure.

  3. Chaparral – use as a mild cold tea. Rich in molybdenum, it balances MSM and vitamin C, supports detoxification, and assists haemoglobin formation. Avoid if you have liver or kidney issues.

  4. Goji berries – a longevity food rich in protein and beta-carotene. Enjoy as a tea, snack, or powder blend.

  5. Enzymes – plant-based digestive enzymes that enhance nutrient absorption, purify the blood, and support weight balance. Take 1–3 capsules with meals.

  6. Tocotrienols – the most potent form of vitamin E. Add 1–2 tablespoons daily to smoothies.

  7. Silica – strengthens bones, hair, and nails.

  8. Green Superfood – an alkaline green blend that boosts energy and curbs appetite. Take 1–3 tbsp daily.

  9. Green Protein – a green protein blend; 1–3 tbsp daily in coconut water or juice.

  10. Probiotics – acidophilus, bifidus, plantarum, and others. Start with one capsule per meal to restore gut flora and immunity.

Editor's note: Modern research continues to validate the regenerative power of raw, nutrient-dense foods. Studies show that enzyme-rich, minimally processed diets enhance mitochondrial function, slow cellular ageing, and support detoxification pathways via increased glutathione activity. Functional nutritionists now pair raw protocols with adaptogenic herbs, peptides, and photo-biomodulation for advanced longevity support.
