Summer vacations and traveling adventures can do wonders for your heart, mind and spirit, but they can also take a toll on your physical health if you're not careful. Many travelers understand first-hand the unfortunate risks to digestive health that often "come with the territory," so to speak.

In today's ever health-conscious world, the Raw Food Movement is on the rise, gaining new devotees as well as critics.
