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 the 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 write this
article. Here's to a healthier
life!.
Perhaps as a child you were told by your mom to eat all your
carrots because they
were good for your eyes? As you grew up, you may
have cynically been told by
others that this was just an "old wives
tale". Guess what, recent studies have
shown that Mom was right! Foods
can prevent eye disease, heart disease, arthritis
and much
more.
Some Basic Science:
In recent years scientists have
discovered that foods contain "phytochemicals",
which is a fancy name
for naturally occurring chemicals. This is not the same as
nutrients,
which we all know are the substances necessary for sustaining
life.
Phytochemicals have properties that can aid in disease prevention
and cures.
Scientists have identified thousands of these chemicals in
the foods we eat and a
single serving of fruit or vegetables can
contain as many as one hundred 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 which can lead to disease.
Antioxidants protect the
body from oxidation and reduce the risk of
acquiring many common ailments.
