HEALTHCARE STARTS WITH YOUR PLATE

In a modern world dominated by Western science, technology and philosophy, protecting our health has increasingly emphasised medical solutions. What people need to hear is this: Healthcare doesn’t begin in the doctor’s office but in the kitchen.

Up to 80% of chronic illness could be prevented through lifestyle. A primary driver of disease is chronic inflammation, and this can arise from poor dietary choices. Healthy eating can prevent disease. Good nutrition is essential to keeping current and future generations healthy across the lifespan, says the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A healthy diet helps children grow and develop properly and reduces their risk of chronic diseases. Adults who eat a healthy diet live longer and have a lower risk of obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Healthy eating can help people with chronic diseases manage these conditions and avoid complications. (USCDC)

For many health conditions (eg: high cholesterol, asthma, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure), prescription drugs do not provide healing, only managing – or masking – of symptoms. True healing comes from making informed choices with each meal and by acknowledging food as the medicine it truly is.

“The best and most efficient pharmacy is within your own system.” (Robert C. Peale). “Our food should be our medicine, and our medicine should be our food.” (Hippocrates). “The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but will rather cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” (Thomas Edison).
