Let Thy Food be Thy Medicine

SETTING THE STAGE
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” said Hippocrates (460 B. C. – 377B. C.), the father of medicine.

In a world that is constantly changing it’s sometimes hard to figure out what is best for you.  Seeing the commercials on the television with all the side effects makes you wonder if the product will help you in the end or make it worse.

2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is unhealthy. Here, eat this root.

With the way we eat, the lack of sleep, and the way we treat our bodies it’s no wonder we are dying so young. In this fast pasted world people can’t be bothered with taking multiple vitamins but it is so important for our bodies to get all the nutrients.  We need to take care of our body it’s the only one we get!

Looking at the magazines in the stores it is no wonder why we are all so obsessed with the way we look.  It’s in high demand to be healthy and have youthful good looks. Millions of people are starting to realize that eating the right food with the proper nutrients might just be the right medicine for substaining or restoring health. 

In 2004, Dr. Nicholas Pericone appeared on the Oprah Whinfrey show to promote his book, “The Pericone Promise: Look Younger- Live Longer in Three Easy Steps” in which he talks about the Ten Super Foods to Rejuvinate your body.  The Acai berry was rated number one and said it is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world. Note the Acai berry was the only fruit that made his list.

Also in 2004, for all you men, NBC Today’s Matt Lauer hosted a road show from the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, reported that the locals now call the Acai berry the “Viagra of the Amazon.”

It has taken us a long time to get back to realization that food has a lot to do with our health.
