We are here with Anne-Sophie, wildlife biologist,
she is a raw vegan.
Anne, what does this mean for you?
For me, it is more than a diet, it is a lifestyle,
which aligns better my conceptions, my life values
like to take care of Planet Earth and of my health.
What is veganism?
It is to eat only plant-based foods, so this means,
no meat of course, but also: no fish, no eggs
and also no dairy products: no cheese and no cow milk.
Being raw is simply not to expose any food to a temperature
beyond 105 Farenheit (41 celsius) degrees
above this temperature, enzymatic activity,
which is our ally during the digestive process,
does not occur any more. It is now DEAD food,
which is not recognized by our body as food,
as nutrition for our body
So, Anne-Sophie, what is it that you eat?
What do I eat? Mainly fruit,
as our physiology is very well fitted to deal
with this food group.
I’d say it represents 80% of what I eat during a day.
Also I eat dark green leaves, some veggies also,
of course, I am having one big veggie "salty" meal a day.
I mean, without salt, or only seasalt,
which would still be the best salting option. So, carrot, beet,
these plant-foods once a day
And basically, a handful of nuts and seeds
from time to time,
as we need to look for our fat intake.
Contrary to carnivores, which are fitted
with an excellent fat-processing digestive system,
we, humans, have poor digestive performances
when it comes down to fat.
And when fat and sugar meet in our blood circulation,
it starts causing serious problems to our health.
So always keep an eye on your fat intake.
