Raw food and emotions

For 5 days i've been on a more or less raw food diet - eating raw vegetables, fruit, sprouts. I did this for a chronic pain in the back and chest, and both are better though not gone.

However, strangely, I also feel much better emotionally. There is a sense of calm, poise, groundedness - something I also have often felt when I had acute illnesses like a flu. I would say that I am more in touch with my spirituality.

Is this link between raw food and emotional/spiritual well-being coincidental? Or is it linked? If the latter, could someone please explain the mechanism it depends on?
