The Many Medicinal Properties of Food
Everything we need to be healthy can be obtained from good wholesome food, which is nature's medicine cabinet.
You may have heard “Let your food be your medicine”. This expression comes from the fact that most ailments will respond favorably if you give your body the raw materials that it needs to heal. You also need to avoid the toxins that will hamper that healing. In order for healing to take place, other lifestyle modifications may also be required.
We all have an innate intelligence that strives to heal our bodies and to keep them healthy. Our innate intelligence is much “smarter” than we are. In my opinion, there is no supercomputer on the planet that can compete with the innate intelligence of the human body.
The problem is that we are not getting the proper nutrients for healing and we are living in a toxic world.
