Healing Foods
What if I told you we have the power to heal with foods? It's the opinion of a great many highly educated people that we have all the tools we need to stay healthy and disease free in the produce department.
Let's take the example of an apple. It is know to contain 385 phytochemicals. Phytochemicals have been used as drugs for centuries. In 400 BC Hippocrates used to prescribe willow tree leaves to abate fever. Later, Salicin was extracted from the White Willow Tree and was synthetically produced to become the staple over the counter drug called Aspirin.
So, what can we learn from this? Maybe we can go back to nature and get the "medicine" we need from it?
Talking more about the apple; many of us eat an apple very quickly and may not chew it well. Some of us do not eat the peel. Most all of us do not eat the core and the seeds and that is where the "blast of phytochemicals" are.
