Varied fruits

Fruitarianism (/fruːˈtɛəriənɪzəm/) is a raw vegan lifestyle that consists primarily of consuming fruits, nuts and seeds, and oftentimes salads with tender greens, depending on the individual's preferences.^[1] Fruits may be consumed fresh, frozen, or dehydrated on the lifestyle. Cooked food, however, does not fit in with the fruitarian lifestyle.

Fruitarianism may be adopted for different reasons, including ethical, religious, environmental, cultural and economic. Many fruitarians speak on personal health benefits experienced by eating a variety of hydrating fruits; when enough caloric intake is accounted for on the fruitarian diet, it is surprisingly rich in concentrated levels of vitamins and minerals.

Many professional athletes and body-builders have adopted the fruitarian diet and claim benefits in their overall performance in sports. Others swear by the beautifying effects of consuming pounds of vibrant fruit platters.

Nutritional Considerations:

Vitamin B₁₂

Vitamin B₁₂, a bacterial product, cannot be obtained from fruits.

According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, "natural food sources of vitamin B₁₂ are limited to foods that come from animals."^[2] However, this essential vitamin is also lacking in animal products in the modern day, and is generally found in fortified processed foods, where it has been added artifically.

Like raw vegans who do not consume B₁₂-fortified foods (for example, certain plant milks and some breakfast cereals), fruitarians may need to include a B₁₂ supplement in their diet. Vitamin B₁₂ deficiency^[2] is a risk for many people across the globe, irrespective of dietary preferences.
