Vegetables are a nutritional powerhouse!
​
The naturally occurring enzymes help the body break down cooked foods and cultivate a healthy community of beneficial bacteria.
​
This digestive support is extremely helpful especially during the beginning of the program when your gut is still healing.
​
Our recommendation is that you consume 70% of your vegetables raw.
