Keri Aivazis Reveals Surprising Health Benefits of Fresh, Raw Produce
Eating Raw Vegetables Offers Some Staggering Health and Weight Loss Benefits, Says Keri Aivazis
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/11/13 -- The health benefits of consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables have long been committed to public record -- but according to farm-to-fork advocate , co-owner of Los Angeles-based market Urban Radish, there are some special benefits that come from eating raw produce, especially high-quality produce garnered from local farmers. To illustrate her point, Aivazis points to a surprising new from The Huffington Post, which outlines some of the most significant health perks that come from the consumption of fresh, raw veggies. Aivazis has issued a press statement, assessing the article and offering her own comments on the subjects of raw produce and organic farming.
According to The Huffington Post, the conventional wisdom is that eating uncooked vegetables comes with health risks; while meats are cooked in order to get rid of any germs or pathogens, uncooked vegetables sometimes have their germs still intact, the article contends -- and as such, even the most adamant food-lovers are hesitant to eat them raw, fearing possible infection.
Though eating raw produce does indeed come with its health risks, the article argues that the health benefits are greater still. In fact, recent research has indicated that eating plenty of raw produce can lead to a happier and healthier gut. On this point, Keri Aivazis weighs in. "We tend to think of germs as all bad things, but this article makes it clear that this is not always the case," she remarks in her statement to the press. "Scientists have shown that those of us who consume raw veggies tend to have healthier, more effective microbial populations in our digestive systems, which brings with it all manner of health benefits."
Indeed, a healthy microbial population can assist in the digestive process, while the kinds of germs that come from diets high in fat and sugar tend to bring very different sets of side effects -- including increased risk for obesity and diabetes.
The Huffington Post also notes that recent studies have determined that there may be a link between agricultural methodology and the presence of harmful microbials; specifically, organic farming techniques have been shown to help reduce populations of dangerous pathogens. As the article makes clear, this research requires further exploration, but it may serve as a strong argument in favor of organic farming techniques.
Keri Aivazis certainly thinks so. "This is another example of how eating farm-fresh produce -- devoid of any kinds of pesticides or added chemicals -- can ultimately be better for your health," she notes. "Of course, it is worth noting that these kinds of produce tend to have better flavor, as well!"
A long-time advocate of the farm-to-fork movement, Keri Aivazis is the co-owner of Los Angeles-based market Urban Radish, which provides farm-fresh produce from local vendors.
