JULY 17, 2024 FOODS THAT HEAL

One of the most profound ways to ensure health, vitality, and wellness has always been through food. Food as medicine is not a new concept Heal through food stated by Hippocrates

Often heralded as nutritional powerhouses, leafy greens are a cornerstone of a holistic pantry. Their vibrant hues are indicative of the wealth of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants they pack. Regular consumption can lead to strengthened immune function, enhanced energy levels, and even a reduced risk of chronic diseases. From spinach to kale and from arugula to Swiss chard, to Brussel sprouts to broccoli - ALL CAN HEAL

Nature offers a bounty of berries and fruits, each bursting with a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These natural treats not only appeal to the taste buds but also play a pivotal role in the body’s cellular repair mechanisms. Blueberries, for instance, have been linked with cognitive improvements, while strawberries have compounds that are beneficial for skin health

And lastly there are nuts and seeds Nuts and seeds may be small, but they pack a mighty nutritional punch. Rich in essential fatty acids, protein, and a range of vital minerals, they are indispensable for heart health, energy production, and overall well-being. Almonds, for instance, have been associated with lower cholesterol levels, while chia seeds are known to be a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Regularly including diverse nuts and seeds in the diet ensures a balanced intake of healthy fats, proteins, and other vital nutrients.

I do neat all of the above. I eat the leafy greens, fruits, and nuts and seeds based my blood type. As an Type O blood type I do not eat peanuts, pistachios, or avocados . I feel it helps reduce the inflammation in my body

Until tomorrow…
