The Living Energy of Raw Food: Nourishing Body, Mind & Soul

By Padma Kathi | Dietitian and Holistic Naturopath Coach

Hello dear friends,

I’m Padma Kathi, a Dietitian and Holistic Naturopath Coach. Today, I want to talk about something close to my heart — raw food.

Remember our Childhood?

We used to enjoy raw tomatoes, carrots, guavas, and green peas straight from nature. That innocent joy is slowly disappearing...

Why People Avoid Raw Food Nowadays?

• “It causes gas.”
• “It has pesticides.”
• “It doesn’t suit me.”

But the truth lies in digestive imbalances and lack of awareness.

What is Raw Food, Really?

In naturopathy, raw food is Pranic Food – it holds the living life force. It contains sunlight, water, enzymes, and minerals. It’s medicine in its most natural form.

Scientific Support for Raw Food

Modern science shows:

• Raw enzymes aid digestion naturally
• Cooking destroys enzyme power
• Raw food supports gut microbiome

Naturopathic Tip: Respect Your Digestive Fire

In naturopathy, we align with your Agni (digestive fire). Start slow:

• Chew raw food thoroughly
• Eat during peak digestion (before 4 PM)
• Start with seasonal fruits or sprouted moong salad

Raw Food = Sunlight in Your Cells

You’re absorbing bio-photons — light particles from the sun — through raw plants. This nourishes your cells, emotions, and consciousness.

Let’s Return to Nature, Together

Begin simply:

• Start with one raw meal daily
• Include raw salads before lunch
• Try herbal infusions like Jasmine Tea or Tulsi Water

Final Thought

“Raw food is not a trend. It’s a return to soul wisdom.”
