To answer this question, I take the example of a case that happened to a woman from Thailand. She was experiencing unusual symptoms with her body, feeling something strange. To find out the uncomfortable symptoms, she went to the doctor, X-Ray photos showed that the woman's body was attacked from the inside by hundreds of parasitic worms.

According to the World of Buzz media, it turns out that the worms that live and develop in the woman's body appear because of her habit of eating raw pork. That's one of the dangers of eating raw food.

Eating raw food is risky because uncooked food contains a lot of bacteria and parasites that enter the body. Even bacteria and parasites that thrive on raw fish meat can cause poisoning.

Research conducted by a team from the American Society for Nutritional Sciences in October 2005 found that the effect of eating raw food on cholesterol levels, raw food is eaten continuously can lead to increased levels of homocysteine ​​which can increase the risk of heart disease.

Eating uncooked food will also cause indigestion because raw food is difficult to digest. As a result, you will experience constipation and bloating.

Eating raw foods can also cause the body to lose important nutrients from these foods. Many of the nutrients in vegetables and meat are stored in their fibers. The human body is not yet fully capable of breaking down fiber to take nutrients from raw foods. Fiber and nutrients can only be absorbed by the body after cooking. That's my answer, I hope it's useful.
