Raw or lightly cooked.

Eating foods raw or lightly cooked keeps the nutrients alive and gives the digestion system a rest. Here are some favorites. It can be really simple: avocados, fresh fruit, raw vegetables with nut butters.
A subcategory of raw foods is fermented foods like sauerkraut or salsa, a traditional way of preparing and preserving food that offers fabulous healthy natural probiotics. Salads deserve a page of their own. For more raw soups, try this web site:
