Food as medicine


 There are many reasons why we should pay 

attention to what we should eat. The proccessed 

Low variety foods may be tasty and convenient 

but they are detrimental to ones health. We 

Should be giving our body nutrients to recover 

 from sickness.

Food is nature's medicine

Food has no side effects.On the contrary 

It helps to promote sleep

It manages stress

Diet is the foundation upon which you can build

But you have the remote control in your hands.

High fibre foods 


Vegetables, beans, grains, and fruits protect

against disease, decreases inflammation and

boosts your immune system..


A basic principle of using food as medicine


Eliminating sugar

Gluten

Dairy

Food additives

Red meat

Caffeine

leave you more energetic, less anxious

We must eat like the Hunter-Gatherer of pre-

historic times.-a plant based diet with very little

Sugar and processed foods (elimination is the

best)


Use foods rather than Supplements to 

prevent chronic ailments


The lycopene in the tomatoes is a powerhouse of 

antioxidants. It works to keep your cholesterol

levels in control.

Stress interfeares with digestion, eat slowly

( Grandma said chew your food 32 times)

Still stands true. We just bolt our food, just 

stuffing our stomach.

Drugs to control type 2 diabetes, antacids, and 

antidepressants are dangerous,yet we are

gulping them without any thought.
