“Let Food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food”. You’ve probably heard the old wise saying from Hippocrates, and this wisdom is of the upmost importance over 2000 years later. There is no better medicine, in fact food is the only real medicine. Sure, pharmaceutical drugs may resolve one issue, while only causing others, sometimes more severe. Our bodies aren’t designed for these strong prescription drugs, but you know what we are designed to take without poisoning us in the process? You guessed it, food. In fact, with eating the right food, the need for drugs will be nonexistent. The body has this great power to heal itself, provided its healthy and functioning properly. To function properly, it needs the right fuel. The fuel comes in a variety of forms, at the macro scale (carbohydrates, proteins, fats), and at the micro scale (vitamins and minerals). The ratios at which you take these fuels will determine how well your body will function.

So that’s it? The right food and ratios and you’ll be good to go? Well, not quite. There’s another factor that health and nutritional research has begun to realize is critical that is often overlooked, the quality of the food. Conventional food is covered with herbicides and pesticides, processed with all sorts of additives, meat and dairy is injected with hormones, and all this doesn’t go away in the food. All the harmful chemicals that are in the food are passed down to you the consumer. In fact, its now being shown that conventional food also has lower nutrition density, which means you also aren’t maximizing your nutritional power.
