A rAw food (Also cAlled living food) diet is an uncooked vegan or vegetarian diet, which consists of berries, fruits, vegetables, roots, nuts, flowers, sea vegetables, germinated seeds, sprouts, and sometimes raw dairy products (for maintenance, not cleansing). plants are rich natural sources of antioxidants and other nutrients.

In addition, the live food also contains enzymes which act as catalysts for detoxification and absorption of nutrients. Under Naturopathy, juices of certain vegetables and fruits are used as cancer fighting foods.
