John from [ Ссылка ] shares the specific foods he cooks as a raw vegan and how he heat processes them for better health.
In this episode, you will learn about John's journey as a raw vegan and his recent incorporation of heat-processed foods into his diet. John, who has been a raw vegan since 1995, shares his definition of being a raw vegan, which focuses on excluding animal products and primarily consuming raw foods. However, he has found benefits in adding heat-processed foods, which he prefers to call "heat-processed" instead of "cooked." He exclusively uses an Instant Pot for this purpose, avoiding high-heat cooking methods that can produce harmful carcinogens and toxins, while also significantly diminishing the health benefits of foods.
John goes into detail about the specific foods he heat processes and his methods for doing so. He emphasizes the importance of using water-based cooking techniques, such as steaming, to maintain the nutritional integrity of the foods. Some of the foods he discusses include purple sweet potatoes, various grains like einkorn and millet, beans, and mushrooms. He explains that while some of these foods can be eaten raw, heat processing them can provide additional health benefits. John also highlights the importance of a diverse diet and how incorporating heat-processed foods can help achieve this.
Furthermore, John addresses the controversy surrounding his choice to eat heat-processed foods while maintaining a raw vegan identity. He argues that his approach aligns with his definition of veganism, which prioritizes practicality and nutritional benefits. He encourages viewers to consider adopting the best cooking methods if a person chooses to cook their food to improve nutrient intake, and fiber and reduce dietary restrictions. By sharing his methods and the benefits he has experienced, John aims to inspire others to explore a balanced approach to raw veganism that includes the advantages of heat-processed foods.
