You ARE what you eat.  Are you fast, cheap, and easy?  Then don’t eat junk food. Our modern lifestyle has often thrown us off the right track.  When we learn to use nature’s resources – whole foods, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and other natural bounties we can heal our self.  Evidence shows that deviating from a predominantly plant-based diet is a major factor in the development of heart disease, cancer, strokes, arthritis, and many other chronic degenerative diseases.  Conversely these plant based foods can aid and enhance the body’s natural healing capacities.  Learn about the power of food.  Reversing the food pyramid is the key to good health. The benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and other healing foods is so strong that it has been endorsed by U.S. government health agencies and by virtually every major medical organization, including the American Cancer Society. This wealth of evidence-based information supports that a diet of whole food creates lasting health benefits. There is a glaring need for us to have fundamental knowledge of foods and their benefits, not only for physical well being, but for emotional health as well. Included in the discussion is some excellent recipe and meal ideas for a balanced, healthy diet.
