Consuming These Foods Will Help Heal
There is no doubt that humankind can not live on supplements alone.
We need protein, carbohydrates and other materials that we probably are not even
aware of yet. Some foods have been shown to help heal certain conditions.
Since we have to eat foods to survive, why not consume the healthy ones -- not just by
reducing certain types of fat intake but by ingesting appropriate foods to help the
healing (and prevention) process that our bodies were meant to maintain.
Nearly every disorder responds well to appropriate vegetable
juices. Juices are a superb way of getting the phytonutrients that generally can not
be obtained from supplements because of the volumes needed. The following table of
disorders (in alphabetical order) is matched with the corresponding juice and food that
will help heal that condition.
These foods should be consumed during and in-between your regular
meals. For the best results, drink at least one pint per day.
