Raw Vegetarian diet plan is good for the heart health because this diet plan controls the cholesterol level and burns the excess fat to keep the heart healthy.
Fresh fruits, raw vegetables, nuts, fish, fish oil, olive oil, green tea, coffee, and citrus fruits juices are more effective for the heart health.

well, the human body is not made to digest an exclusive raw diet, especially of vegetables.
Coffee and tea are hardly raw....

I am sure you have been made aware that you have been putting your posts in the wrong sections, and since I am not a moderator, I shall leave it at that, pointing you toward the health section:

Interesting that you are targeting cholesterol. Everything I have been reading recently suggests that the case against cholesterol is one great con. If you have any medical evidence to the contrary, and I'm talking proper trials, I would really like to see it.

Also, I'm not sure that a raw vegetarian diet "burns the excess fat to keep the heart healthy" either. Anything or anyone who talks about burning fat raises my interest.

And my cardiologist, who I see based on family history and my cholesterol levels kicked me out of his office because I was too healthy.

An all-raw-veggie diet would have you burning fat from hunger b/c it'd be so low-calorie.

that is why you need to look to legumes and then throw in nuts as well...and while your at it fruit

Wouldn't the legumes need to be cooked, thus negating the "all-raw" moniker?

Some yes some no but it is necessary because it is a needed source of protien

Just checking. I agree that legumes and nuts are are both going to be essential. The tougher part is getting fats. Like from the lowly avocado.

The irony is some of the foods mentioned are neither raw nor vegetarian.

Coffee is roasted first, then brewed in hot water. Not raw.

Green tea is brewed in hot water. Not raw.

Fish oils - definitely not vegetarian and probably not raw.

One of my boys went down the raw vegan route. Difficult to find food to feed him when he visits. :) It did help him lose weight, not that that was the reason for the diet, more a lifestyle thing.

I had a bacon double cheeseburger for dinner tonight...

But I did put some lettuce on it. And a slice of tomatoe. That counts, right?

The funny thing is, the bread/bun was probably the least healthful part of your dinner (unless you washed it down with a soda). :)

I am vegan, but I don't evangelise about it. Each to their own.

I do find some of the questions and statements people ask and make about veggie and vegan nutrition to be quite revealing regarding the level (sometimes lack) of thought they put into what they eat. But I always try to answer without prejudice.

I've found that with careful thought and planning, the vegan diet is perfectly suited for sport, but you really need to do your homework.

I would struggle with only raw food, mainly from the perspective of limited variety. I mix raw into my diet, but it's not enough for me on its own.
