Is Raw Salad Healthier Than A Cooked Meal? #ayurveda #salad #healthycooking #ayurvedawisdom

Is a raw vegetable salad healthier than a cooked meal? It's a wrong question to ask. Let's look at the 3 biggest myths about raw versus cooked that even my most educated clients get wrong. Myth number 1 is that the digestive power required to digest a bowl of fresh salad and a bowl of cooked vegetables is exactly the same. Not true. You need 2 different horsepowers. The second widespread myth is that the bowl of fresh salad has nutrition which gets destroyed by the cooking process, and therefore little of that nutrition is left in a bowl of cooked vegetables. If raw veggies have these, well, cooked veggies are no dummies, they have these. Which one is nourishing and useful for your body? Now, this third myth nearly made me fall off my chair, that raw food has more fiber than cooked food. Yes, technically, in a petri dish, in a laboratory situation, it's true. But in our gut, it's a whole different story. Read the caption to understand why.
