“Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food” ~ Hippocrates

Fast foods, packaged foods, processed foods and junk foods account for a large portion of what North American’s eat on a daily basis. They’re laced with high volumes of sugar, salt, fats and toxic ingredients that will have a devastating effect on our bodies one day. Our bad eating habits will catch up to us and we will be left to deal with some health issue or life-threatening crises.

The importance of nutrition to prevent or cure disease and maintain our wellbeing is not new. We’ve just forgotten what a healthy diet is. With the volume of illnesses that many suffer from, it should sound off loud alarms and jolt us into eating a healthy diet. Here is where Healing Foods, Eat Your Way to a Healthier Life will help.
