Food is Medicine - Body Heal Thyself

The Body's Ability to Heal Itself

Food is medicine.  Many prescription drugs are based on plants and herbs.  There are countless stories or people curing ailments and chronic diseases through nutrition. 

Many times we are so quick to ask the doctor for a pill to cure what ails us, but when we have a little patience and change our eating habits we can avoid the harsh side affects of drugs and let our bodies work their magic. 

With over 60,000 miles of veins, arteries, and capillaries in the human body, enough to circle the earth two times, the body is a modern miracle.  When we fill our human "Ferraris" with processed food, sugar, and salt we clog the engine and the body begins to break down. 

Changes in our nutrition are hard for many people, 80% of food on supermarket shelves is processed. Start with simple changes such as eliminating all sodas, try to eat some more fruit and vegetables, drink lemon or lime water everyday. Think green foods, try and eat the colors of the rainbow reds apples, strawberries, orange peppers, carrots, and oranges, purple blueberries and blackberries, yellow lemons and squash. 

Try good nutrition first, give your body a chance to heal itself, it may be the

Best medicine you ever take.
