I am a huge fan of raw foods and I believe that if nature intended for us to eat food any other way then it would have offered it to us in that form. Raw foods have plenty of benefits to offer and it is upto us to make a choice to join in this culture. In the treatment of Colitis, one must make sure that they eat plenty of raw foods as a natural remedy.

If you have been diagnosed with Colitis then you must avoid dairy completely. The moment you withdraw your dairy intake you will see immediate improvements. This dietary change will have an extremely positive impact on your Colitis. In some people dairy consumption is the main cause of pain. You will experience a positive change in the first week of eliminating dairy.

In the second week you need to start with a raw food diet. This means that you eat fruits and vegetables and eliminate meats from your diet completely. Meat takes time to digest and this causes the fat to get accumulated; this leads to the formation of Colitis. You may consume fish in the boiled or steamed form.

The next week you need to start with eliminating processed foods like white flour and sugar. These foods are not broken down easily and once they break down they form chemicals with no nutritional value. In order to prevent this you must avoid all processed and refined foods; this includes all foods that are packed in cans and boxes.

The following week you need to give up sea foods. You can substitute the fish with flax seeds and walnuts to get your essential nutrients. At this time you will notice that you do not suffer from Colitis any more.

You may wonder how depriving your body of foods will help. Well, there is a simple logic to that. Vegetarian diets have a healthy serving of proteins and essential minerals; though you may not believe it. When you eat a variety of different colored vegetables and fruits; you provide your body with the nutrition it needs to be healthy. The raw foods that you consume will increase the amount of nutrition that you provide your body.
