Raw & Beyond: How Omega-3 Nutrition is Transforming the Raw Food Paradigm presents a much more balanced way to eat raw with more than 100 nutritious and delicious recipes for steamed, raw, and lightly cooked dishes rich in Omega-3s.

Chad Sarno, Victoria Boutenko, and Elaina Love have each been leaders in the raw food movement ever since the 90s. Since that time, they all have independently arrived at the exact same conclusion: that a fully raw diet isn’t necessarily the best diet. One reason for such a shift in their thinking is the latest scientific research on the impact of omega essential fatty acids on human health. Studies show that Omega-6s, if eaten in excess, can cause obesity and inflammation. Your typical raw food diet contains large quantities of seeds and nuts, much of which are extremely high in Omega-6s and are low in Omega-3s.

Raw foodists aren’t the only ones that lack sufficient Omega-3s in their diets. As a result of Omega-3s being easily damaged by heat, anybody whose diet is high in oils and processed foods most likely has an Omega-3 deficiency. Many symptoms of such a deficiency can be mistaken for other health issues or nutrient deficiencies, so very few folks even realize the true cause of their ailments. Victoria’s chapters on omegas provide the reader with more in-depth nutritional information. 100 recipes (from raw to steamed to lightly cooked dishes), from desserts to appetizers, offer the reader the means to enjoy a more healthy, sustainable, and energetic lifestyle.
