FOOD IS MEDICINE

Food impacts most health conditions today like heart disease, pre-diabetes, PCOD, migraines, weak stomachs, and even mood disorders. Food on your plate has more power over your health than the pills in your medicine cabinet. 

Most of us know food as calories others think of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Food is more than that. Food is probiotic and prebiotic, they are vitamins and minerals, but most importantly, they are healing signals.  

The different colours of food are due to compounds called phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are what give foods antioxidant properties. These antioxidants in foods communicate with our DNA to heal our bodies. Purple and white cabbage might have similar effects on the body but are not the same. Different colours have different healing properties!

But remember, food is also culture, texture, history and communication. No matter how healthy the food is, if you do not enjoy and appreciate it, it cannot help you. 

Food is the medicine that heals us physically and connects us mentally.
