Nutrition and Food as Medicine
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said ‘Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food’.
Putting Food as Medicine into practice
We can take away the confusion of nutrition information for you and make an easy to use, practical plan for everyday life! The foods we suggest are everyday, basic foods found in your supermarket and green grocers. They are unprocessed foods without additives, preservatives, flavours or colourings. Foods like fruit and vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, grains, legumes and oils such as olive oil.
Also, you dont need to be a masterchef to make quick, healthy meals - often the simple styles of cooking foods make available more nutrients to help your body heal.
Let us help you make the right food choices so that you eat foods that are good for your body. All our information has been researched and is updated whenever new scientific information is available.
Here are just a few examples of how we use Food as Medicine to help you heal your body:
| Conditions | Foods that help your body heal |
| Colds & flus | berries, oranges, onions, garlic, brazil nuts |
| Poor digestion | pineapple, papaya, paw paw, kiwifruit, asparagus, pumpkin |
| Healthy skin | salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines, flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, avocado, green leafy vegetables such as spinach, bok choy, rocket, watercress |
| Improve sleep | chicken, bananas, figs, milk, tuna, sunflower seeds, yogurt |
