Let Your Food Be Your Medicine

"Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food." Hippocrates

Hippocrates the father of natural medicine was onto something a long time ago. If your nutrition is good then good health is a result. When you give your body the nutrition that it needs it is able to fight off illnesses. Food is a drug and we must think of it that way. Today it seems that many people have forgotten the simple fact that food is medicine. Many doctors today do not believe that food can cure illnesses because they have come to rely on drugs so much, but the foods we eat definitely affect our health. If you don't believe me then eat a high sugar meal and tell me how you feel in about an hour. Then eat a well balanced meal of lean protein, vegetables, and healthy fat and tell me how you feel. Foods can have dramatic affect on our health, our mood, and our overall well being. Consider this at your meal.
