Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician stated: “All disease begins in the gut” as well as “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” More than 2,000 years later, his statement rings truer than ever. Research has shown that up to 80% of cases of coronary heart disease, 90% of Type 2 diabetes, and one-third of all cancers can be prevented through lifestyle changesincluding daily exercise, restful sleep and a healthy diet. Changing what we eat is the single most effective measure we as consumers can take to improve our own health. In today’s world we have lost that understanding of what is truly healthy as we look for labels on food such as “high in fiber”, “100% fruit”, or “low calorie”. Our goal, should be buying food with no labels. Eating from the farm…. not the factory.
