Raw food or Cooked Food?

Which one do you prefer or usually eat? The raw or cooked?

According to the researched, humans discovered fire 400,000 years ago, but still most of them eaten their food raw. For millions of years before the fire was discovered, everything was eaten raw. Cooking changes the molecules in food and destroys many valuable nutrients and enzymes that break food down into components that can be used by the body, so a natural diet includes a lot of food that is raw or only very lightly cooked. Raw foods requires more chewing than cooked food. This not only breaks down food, mixing it with digestive enzymes in the mouth, but also sends signals to the digestive tract to enable the right cocktail of digestive enzymes to be produced, depending what is on the mouth. Most fast foods are soft food that requires minimal chewing; as a result, the jaws of modern humans are smaller than those of our ancestors.
