About this item
Tanto Victoria Boutenco como Elaina Love y Chad Sarno son tres reconocidas lideres del movimiento crudivoro en Estados Unidos desde la decada de los 90. Las tres siguieron y promovieron durante decadas dicha dieta sin embargo, cada una de ellas, de manera independiente llego al mismo descubrimiento: no siempre una dieta totalmente crudivora es la mejor. Uno de los motivos que las llevaron esta conclusion fue el impacto de las grasas omega-6 (nueces y frutos secos) . Diversos estudios cientificos muestran que cuando dichos aceites se consumen en exceso sin equilibrarlos con omega-3 pueden propiciar obesidad e inflamacion cronica. El libro incluye mas de cien recetas, tanto crudivoras como con alimentos hervidos y al vapor, asi como numerosos aperitivos y postres / The authors have been leaders in the raw food movement since the 1990s.
