Raw Vegan Food
Raw vegan food diet or the living food diet might benefit cystic organs. This type of diet diminishes chronic inflammation. The transitions to this diet are so very important for us to know about to be able to succeed and we may come to our own conclusion that too much fruit may cause an excess of bloating; that initially there maybe an increase in bowel transit time; and leafy greens will help all of this to subside. Encouragement is what is needed because going toward raw food vegan might be a goal that is very difficult for most to achieve. Below are listed some articles that may help. If any are successful at this, let us hear from you. Let us know of your results. Take encouragement from this page on raw food leanings.
2015 Raw vs Cooked Green Leafy Vegetables Calcium Content
A chart comparing cooked leafy greens consumed commonly in India shows not much nutritional difference between cooked and raw leafy greens. The calcium content is also not much different.
2014 Raw Vegetables Helped Decrease Death From Cancer
Fruit and vegetable intake and cause-specific mortality in the EPIC study.
Raw vegetable consumption was additionally inversely associated with death from neoplasms,
meaning eating raw vegetables helped people from dying from cancer.
2005 Long-Term Raw Vegetarian Diet Low Bone Mass
A Raw Food vegetarian diet is associated with low bone mass at clinically important skeletal regions but it is without evidence of increased bone turnover or impaired vitamin D status. Their mean dietary calcium intake was low, 579±260 mg/day. Raw Food vegetarians with a low bone mass may not have an increased incidence of fractures because of good bone quality. In our Raw Food group, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were markedly higher than in the control group. Dietary intake of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was extremely low in the Raw Food group, and therefore their high serum values can be explained in part by a greater exposure to sunlight.
1999 Long-Term Raw Vegetarian Diet Favorable LDL Cholesterol Triglycerides
Long-Term Consumption of a Raw Food Diet Is Associated with Favorable Serum LDL Cholesterol
and Triglycerides but Also with Elevated Plasma Homocysteine and Low Serum HDL Cholesterol in Humans
In conclusion, the present study indicates that a strict raw food diet may result in remarkably
low serum total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations.
2009 Raw vs Cooked Vegetables
Germans who ate raw vegan foods were found to have favorable beta carotene but diminished ↓ lycopene. Some evidence has shown that with certain vegetables heat breaks down the plants' thick cell walls. This aids the body's uptake of some nutrients that are bound to those cell walls. However cooking destroys other nutrients. Cooked carrots, spinach (a quick dip of the leaves in boiling water diminishes phytates), mushrooms, asparagus, cabbage, and many other vegetables also supply antioxidants, such as carotenoids and ferulic acid, to the body when cooked. On the other hand, indole, an organic compound, is formed only when certain plants, particularly cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, are cooked. Boiling or steaming preserves antioxidants, particularly carotenoid, in carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Deep fried foods are notoriously harmful to the body caused by an increase in free radicals, by the oil being continuously oxidized when it is heated at high temperatures. When cooking your own vegetable chips, soaking in ice water diminishes acrylamide a known carcinogen obtained when certain starches are heated to very high temperatures.
2009 Lycopene: Are raw veggies better than cooked?
Rui Hai Liu, an associate professor of food science at Cornell University who has researched lycopene,
says lycopene may be an even more potent antioxidant than vitamin C.
"Comparing the healthfulness of raw and cooked food is complicated, and there are still
many mysteries surrounding how the different molecules in plants interact with the human body.
The bottom line, says Liu, is to eat your veggies and fruits no matter how they're prepared."
"We cook them so they taste better," Liu says. "If they taste better, we're more likely to eat them."
And that's the whole idea.
PKD'rs Who Are Eating Raw Vegan Food
The Vedant Project
PKD Raw Recipes
Herbs and Foods That ↓ Inflammation
The key to diminishing a wide variety of common health problems is to eliminate chronic inflammation.
turmeric
garlic
onions
cinnamon
dark leafy greens
whole spelt
beets
berries
tart cherries
papaya
pineapple
gac
parsley
cilantro
cabbage
oregano
marjoram are all anti-inflammatory.
One study measured the amount of anti-inflammatory response after a week of using a certain spice in cooking. Researchers did not measure supplements but rather in daily consumption doses.
PKD and Inflammation
What about inflammation in PKD/PLD? Can it be said that the worse the inflammation, the worse the PLD or PKD? Is there any chance that a raw food vegan diet might possibly be useful for cystic organs? This is a type of diet that is said to be lowest in causing inflammation within the body. One who eats a raw food vegan diet certainly restricts their calories, decreases their overall chronic inflammation, yet they do not feel hungry.
Food Restricted Diet in PKD
Mild to moderate (10%-40%) food restriction reduced cystic areas, renal fibrosis, inflammation, and injury in a dose-dependent manner in tested rats with PKD. A similar thing happened to trial participants while taking octreotide, a medication to reduce cystic organs. They often do not experience hunger and they lose weight. Researchers have discovered that a restricted food diet may be worth exploring. This may in part what happens on octreotide with PLD. Some trial participants become very thin, uninterested in food; did not experience hunger while on octreotide. If their blood sugar rises, this could be an indicator in that rising blood sugar levels might cause kidney functioning to go down, Hyperglycemia without cilia decreases kidney functioning.
Bindarit
Bidarit did not decrease cyst growth however it limited interstitial inflammation and renal dysfunction and reduced proteinuria in PKD.Ferumoxytol, an injectable iron medication, when used as an alternative contrast agent in MRI helps to differentiate between acute and chronic inflammatory kidney disease in rats.
