FOOD AS MEDICINE

The philosophy of “Food As Medicine” of Hippocrates – one of the founders of medicine. Food provides us with fuel to function, develop and maintain good health, and food can be used for prevention, cure and recovery, it has a healing effect similar to how we think about drugs.

For example, fruits and vegetables have many phytonutrients, in addition to vitamins and minerals, they also contain thousands of phytochemicals that are very important, which provide the body with the substances it needs to be in good health, and repair and recover on its own. Green vegetables such as kale, dandelion, watercress, spinach, okra,… are believed to be effective in supporting the body’s own repair, regeneration and recovery. Spices like black pepper, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon enhance the flavor of food, aid in digestion, fight inflammation, and many other benefits.

Currently, in modern society, food is very diverse and abundant, some foods are good for health, some foods are bad for health. Each food we put in our mouth, it will have a good or bad effect on our health, we have the right to choose what we eat and what we eat has a huge impact on our health and our life journey. So when we realize that the power is in us to make conscious decisions about the basics on a daily basis, to move forward with the life we want to live. Food not only determines how long we live, but also how alive we feel!
