Hippocrates Equated Food
with Medicine
Hippocrates -- the Father of medicine -- left us a famous quote.
Do you know what it is?
"Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food."
I doubt this ancient doctor knew about having over a 100 trillion cells in the body. Yet, somehow he knew that eating the
right foods
versus making the
wrong diet choices
is the key to healthy living.
Hippocrates was right!
The body's cells must be routinely cleansed
and renewed. The only foods capable of doing that
is "living" foods or "whole" foods.
Do you think your body has the capacity to heal itself? I think it does. Yet, the average person uses more care in selecting the grade of gas or weight of oil for their car than food for their body!
O.K. -- How do we escape the "disease management" trap?
First, there has to be a shift in our thinking.
The world's approach of using drugs to medicate every symptom has led to even more problems.
Don't get me wrong. I have taken some of these drugs!
So, don't empty the medicine cabinet just yet.
But I heard recently that the younger generation
is starting to be called by a new name.
Have you heard what it is?
They're being called the
"Rx"
generation.
This is not good!!
Next, don't put all the blame on your doctor. Most medical students get precious little education in nutrition (unless that's their field). And...
With all the new medicines hitting the market day after day, most doctors and pharmacists are obligated to spend their study time just keeping up.
So, for the most part, it's up to us to understand and apply the best health plan for our families. But, don't forget to tell your doctor exactly what you are doing.
