It has been estimated by Aajonus Vonderplanitz that there are 20,000 followers of his raw-meat-heavy Primal Diet in North America, alone. The founder of the Primal Diet is Aajonus Vonderplanitz, a resident of Malibu, California. The "raw Paleolithic diet", is a raw version of the (cooked) Palaeolithic diet, incorporating large amounts of raw animal foods such as meats/organ-meats, seafood, eggs, and some raw plant-foods, but usually avoiding non-Paleo foods such as raw dairy, grains, and legumes.The "primal diet" consists of fatty meats, organ meats, dairy, honey, minimal fruit and vegetable juices, and coconut products, all raw.The "People's Primal Potluck", anopsology (otherwise known as "instinctive eating"), and the "Raw Paleolithic Diet" (otherwise known as the "raw meat diet"). Some make a distinction between hot-smoked and cold-smoked. Smoked meats are frowned upon by many Raw-Omnivores. "Raw Animal Foodists" believe that foods cooked above this temperature have lost much of their nutritional value and are harmful to the body. Raw foods included on such diets have not been heated above 40 ☌ (104 ☏). Raw animal food diets include any animal that can be eaten raw, such as uncooked, unprocessed raw muscle-meats/organ-meats/eggs, raw dairy, and aged, raw animal foods such as century eggs, fermented meat/fish/shellfish/ kefir, as well as vegetables, fruits, nuts, and sprouts, but in general not raw grains, raw beans, and raw soy. Claims held by raw food proponents are pseudoscientific. Raw food diets, specifically raw veganism, may diminish intake of essential minerals and nutrients, such as vitamin B 12. The British Dietetic Association has described raw foodism as a fad diet. The diet may also include simply processed foods, such as various types of sprouted seeds, cheese, and fermented foods such as yogurts, kefir, kombucha, or sauerkraut, but generally not foods that have been pasteurized, homogenized, or produced with the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, solvents, and food additives. Depending on the philosophy, or type of lifestyle and results desired, raw food diets may include a selection of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, meat, and dairy products. Raw foodism, also known as rawism or following a raw food diet, is the dietary practice of eating only or mostly food that is uncooked and unprocessed. The veganism diet also has a raw variety. Our injury management should emphasize the M.E.A.T protocol.A raw vegan Thanksgiving "Turkey". So, what should you do? R.I.C.E should be used sparingly and only in certain injury situations. However, early intervention whether it’s joint mobilization, kinesio taping, contrast hydrotherapy, lymphedema massage, etc., it has been found to speed up recovery and decrease the chance of re-occurrence. Treatment: This varies depending upon the severity and acuteness of the injury. Natural pain relievers are suggested like ginger, turmeric and magnesium. A Physical Therapist would be able to give you the appropriate exercises for your specific injury.Īnalgesia: These are used to control pain during healing. This also increases the flushing of lymph and blood which removes debris/toxins and brings in new, nutrient-rich blood to promote healing.Įxercise: Gentle exercise encourages further growth and strength of tissues while increasing circulation to promote healing. Movement: Gentle movement to the area is vital because it places a small amount of load on the surrounding ligaments/muscles which helps the new tissue grow in an organized fashion. If you are like me then you’re asking, why would we try to prevent natural healing in the body and what are we supposed to do then? That’s where M.E.A.T comes in to play. However, what most of us do not realize is that inflammation is our bodies natural response to increase blood flow to the injured area to allow for healing. This method is commonly used after an acute (recent) injury and is a great way to reduce swelling depending on how much swelling you have. Ice: Apply a cold pack to decrease inflammation and pain.Ĭompression: Apply pressure to the area to decrease hemorrhaging and reduce swelling.Įlevation: Elevate the affected area to lower pressure in the blood vessels to minimize bleeding. Rest: Decrease movement of the injured area to decrease more blood flow to the injury. How many of you have had an injury and were told to R.I.C.E? I don’t mean putting a bag of rice on your injury but rather using the R.I.C.E acronym.
