Eating pure raw food definitively is not the newest thing, but it's the oldest one. Humans started out eating only raw foods. We began to cook only after we mastered fire. From the beginnings of recorded history, in countries like Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, India and Iran there have always been people who ate only raw foods as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
If we go back to the "known" Prehistoric world for decades of millions of years and

In ancient times, although some men and women were concerned with various methods of physical and mental purification, the idea of raw food eating would have been quite a luxury to most people, except perhaps to the elite of society, such as kings and queens and it was usually tended as extreme self/discipline.
They could afford getting tropical fruits “imported” from faraway lands, if they lived out of the equatorial zone.
In Europe ancient Greece, Pythagoras founded a philosophical and religious school whose inner circle, known as the 'Mathematikoi', were required to be vegetarians. One student there, Hippocrates, is considered as the father of medicine and the Hippocratic Oath. He is also famous for saying "Let food be your medicine". Pythagoras and Hippocrates are believed to have eaten primarily raw vegetarian foods ……. Fruits, vegetabes, nuts and seeds.
Much later in 1930, Medical doctor Paul Kouchakoff and Nobel Prize winner "The Influence of Food Cooking on the Blood Formula of Man" at the Institute of Clinical Chemistry in Lausanne, Switzerland showed us that our bodies "normal" toxic reaction to eating, known as "Digestive Leukocytosis", occurred only, when cooked food was eaten.

He found that Digestive Leukocytosis (the immediate increase in our white blood cell count) did not occur if plant foods were eaten in their natural, unheated state.
Leukocytosis is the stress response found normally when the body is invaded
by a dangerous pathogen or trauma.
According to many authors, heating food above 47 degrees of C will destroy 50% of the protein in our food, 50% of the vitamins and 80% of the minerals, as well as all the enzymes. And when food is cooked/boiled above 100
degrees of C, the enzymes are 100% destroyed, thereby requiring the body to work harder and produce the enzymes needed for digestion.
He showed us that we have no stress response when we eat pure raw foods! And this is the real reason for all of us to eat raw food also named optimal food diet on mono meals when we talk about fruits or fruits and vegetables of fruits and nuts, seed, under the optimal lifestyle or pure natural hygiene lifestyle which leads us to sustainable, optimal health.
