You take one pill for your blood pressure, another one for cholesterol and still a different one for diabetes. You have a cream for eczema and let’s not forget the allergy pill. You feel every time you see your healthcare provider they want to give you another pill. What if there was a way to get off some, if not all, of your medications?
Food, real food, the way nature intended it to be can be used as medicine. Leafy greens have been shown to increase nitrous oxide and relax your arteries and therefore lower you blood pressure. Ginger has known anti-nausea effects. Broccoli and the super component found in cruciferous vegetables known as sulforaphane is known to protect against cancer. It is highest in broccoli sprouts. I have a serving every day! Beans, and lentils in particular, have been shown to even out your blood sugars, avoiding the spikes that cause food craving.
The default setting for the amazing machine of the human body is HEALTH. Just by stopping eating things that cause damage your body will start to repair itself. By stopping eating foods that cause inflammation your gut starts to heal, your joints start to feel better. Your rash goes away.
You can health yourself with Food as your Medicine.
