Yep I do believe healthy food has more healing nutrients than medicine.

Make food your medicine or medicine will become your food.

We definitely are what we eat. Many, if not all, ailments can be avoided, lessened or cured by a proper diet and lifestyle choices.
That includes mental issues and they are often the ones for which people turn first to medication and lastly to a healthy lifestyle.
Doctors will kill you with all the prescriptions. Take charge, eat healthy NO FAST or PROCESSED FOODS especially to your youngsters.

Take charge of your own health everyone.
We sometimes get by with a little help from Providence, eh BA? laugh

Right you are, Fay cheers
That's why one should make food one's medicine - so medicine does not become one's food!

Another good reason to use one's organically grown, open pollinated Roma tomatoes when making one's Vera Pizza Napolitana.

Yogurt for your natural probiotic and then lots of natural grown herbs and spices. Lots and lots of garlic. It's natures own antibiotic and do not throw away a good glass of red wine. It help prevent heart disease and cancer.
All, written proof of what I"m saying.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A garlic a day keeps EVERYBODY away gotta go

Many plants are medicinal without even our knowing.

Animals know what to eat when they have an upset stomach.
Dogs usually eat grass.

Btw the best probiotic is KEFIR.
Its best to make your own if you can.

I also eat a lot of curries and all the spices it contains are good for your health.

Things to avoid are: refined foods..sugar..meat..fast foods..deep fried..
If you owned a $million race horse, would you feed him at McDonald's?

Just watched a documentary on some Pacific Islanders...learning about cooking traditional foods that are locally produced rather than buying refined foods from other places...the dietitian was giving cooking lessons and talking about the herbs and spices used in such recipes actually are medicinal...many people have forgotten their traditional recipes and it was good to see that part of their culture was making a comeback...wine
I recommend a root.

The WILD root was popular in Murka some years back...
