Eat healthy Foods – It Makes Sense!

We all know the importance of eating healthy foods for their vitamin and mineral content. However, in recent years, scientists have discovered that there are hundreds of substances in food that have healing and disease prevention properties.

So why, if there are foods that will heal many of our common ailments, have we not heard more about them? Maybe it’s because, just as we’ve become a fast food society, we’ve also become a fast cure society. We’re always looking for an easy way to cure and prevent diseases by just popping a pill.

Just look at the increasing number of ads on TV and in magazines for drugs. Often the side effects are worse than the disease they’re meant to prevent or cure!

Wouldn’t it be better to use natural remedies? Remedies with no side effects, to cure and prevent diseases? Of course it would! That’s why I decided to include this article. 

Here’s to a healthier life!

Eating right may help to prevent eye disease, heart disease, arthritis and much more.

Here's Some Basic Nutritional Food Science

Eating right may help to prevent eye disease, heart disease, arthritis and much more.

It has become more important to be sure and include foods containing “phytochemicals”, which is a fancy name for naturally occurring chemicals. These nutrients are just as important as our "B's ,D's, and iron". We all should know that these are the substances necessary for sustaining a healthy life.

Phytochemicals have properties that may aid in disease prevention and cures. Scientists have identified these chemicals in the foods we eat and a single serving of fruit or vegetables can contain as many different phytochemicals.

The most commonly known phytochemicals are the antioxidants. Antioxidants protect our cells from damage by toxic substances and free radicals (a by-product produced by our bodies which converts oxygen into energy). Free radicals can damage cells in our bodies and that could lead to disease. Antioxidants protect the body from oxidation and help to reduce the risk of acquiring many common ailments.
