But pharmaceuticals are not the only choice when it comes to improving your health and decreasing your risk of disease. Healthy food is another, much tastier option with far-reaching medicinal powers. Foods have amazing potential to remedy all sorts of symptoms, illnesses, and diseases.
We've known this ever since Hippocrates famously wrote, "Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food." Good food choices are good investments.
So, follow your doctor's advice, but know that there are many foods you can choose to help heal what ails you.
