Food as Medicine

Whole, natural foods make for whole, natural humans. After all, we were designed to run on the best fuel. Empty calories from sugar, highly refined grains, sodas, artificial low and no fat concoctions are a detriment to giving your body the whole foods you need. Fad diets, vitamins and other “health aids” may provide temporary weight loss. But, in the end, whole foods are the only things that will give you a longer, healthier life. Many natural, whole foods can serve as “medicines” to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and affect blood sugar. Diets high in fiber and the healing phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables have been shown to offer many health benefits.
