Are you struggling to burn fat fast? As we grow older, so does the rest of our body. It seems like our metabolism starts to be at the pace of a snail. How do we fight this?

Uncooked veggies and fruits give you the most fiber. We have all heard about the benefits of fiber: keeps your digestive system moving, prevents certain diseases like cancer and keeps weight under control.

So how much fiber should you eat daily? 25 grams to be exact. These should come from a variety of fruits, veggies and whole grains.

There are two types of fiber found in raw foods: Soluble and Insoluble Fiber.The real power for your health is in understand how these 2 types of fiber can work for you. Both soluble and insoluble fiber can not be digested or absorbed into the bloodstream, but is still fundamental to the digestive process.  These are considered fast fat burning foods and should be eaten daily. Here’s how:

Soluble Fiber
Soluble fiber binds with fatty acids and prolongs stomach emptying time so that sugar is released and absorbed more slowly. This helps regulate blood sugar, i.e. no immediate sugar highs and crashing lows.

If you suffer from lifestyle diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes, or if you are trying to burn fat fast, then it is essential to  add more than 25 grams of fiber per day.

Soluble fiber is also known for it’s cholesterol lowering ability. Which in turn decreases your chances of cardiovascular disease.

Include soluble fiber in your diet by adding Oats, Oat Bran, Dried Beans and Peas, Nuts, Barley, Flax Seed, Fruits such as Oranges and Apples, and Vegetables such as Carrots.

Insoluble Fiber
Insoluble fiber moves bulk through the intestines which aids regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.  It also helps control or balance the pH (acidity) level in our intestines by removing toxic waste through the colon in less time.

If the body is alkalized, then cancers, bactieria, viruses, etc cannot grow in it because it is not a suitable environment.

Insoluble fiber can be found in green beans, spinach, strawberries, carrot and apple peelings and whole wheat items

To burn fat fast, it is extremely important to eat 40 grams of both types of fiber a day.

Enzymes are protein molecules essential for the digestion process, brain stimulation and the body’s “self repair” down to a cellular level.

Your body won’t be able to use your nutrients that you get from eating if you do not have any enzymes.

All of that sounds like a LOT of work within the human body, right?  This means that we need to pay attention to what enzymes are, and how we get them.

Breaking down our foods so that they can be digested properly lets us burn fat fast.

{Our bodies generate digestive enzymes to break down the food we consume so that the nutrients within the food can be absorbed. We are designed to produce digestive enzymes ourselves.} However, due to the modern diet consisting mostly of processed foods, it is known that the average person can not produce enough digestive enzymes to effectively digest and absorb the required nutrition.

Additionally, if your body only has to work with its own digestive enzymes, your body is working so hard to create sufficient amounts of the enzymes that there is less time and energy for other functions such as rebuilding and replacing damaged cells and tissue.

If this continues as a behavior, the human body starts experiencing a lowered threshold and resistance for stress, poor digestion, food allergies, lowered immunity etc. We produce smaller quantities of enzymes as we age, so it is even more important to identify and obtain a natural source of enzymes to help our bodies.

Which type of food is responsible for giving you the much needed enzymes that heal your body, decrease your age and burn fat fast?

Tired of guessing? It’s raw food.

Enzymes are naturally present in raw food, both fruits and vegetables. The enzymes help start the process of digestion which reduces the stress on the body to secrete large/excessive amounts of digestive enzymes.

It is important to note though that these enzymes are only present and effective when food is in it’s raw state.

The food enzymes are destroyed beyond a state where they are of any help to the body if the food is cooked, even at moderate temperatures. You can start by eating a fruit such as a pear or broccoli

Here’s another secret tip: add in sprouted seeds, grains and legumes. These baby plants are loaded with enzymes.

While your body needs these raw foods, a pleasant side-effect often noticed is an anti-aging effect from the inside-out by consuming vitamins, minerals and enzymes as part of a raw food diet, so many of which people artificially try to incorporate via cosmetic products.

Start eating your raw food today and start reaping the health benefits.

If you want to give your body a fast fat burning edge, make sure to add raw food to your diet.
