LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE

OKAY, ya ya i know nobody like medicines and no one would ever want to have them, even then i am asking you to convert your favorite food into medicine. By this i am not asking you to stop eating your favorite food nor i am asking you to have medicines with foods but by this i mean what if? we eat a meal or we include such foods in our daily life which would not let us fall ill in that sense there will not be any need for medicine in our life. One of the main objective of our food is to protect us from diseases by making our body healthy. Many of us would never know that our daily diet may contain many products which help us build our body strong the super foods which not only develop and grow our body but also protects us against many illnesses and keep us  stay away from medicines. so i will be discussing about such nutrients an sources which we should be including in our diets to stay away from diseases as well as medicines, it may be possible that many of us would al be having some of them in our diet already, but are not aware and if not start including them as they play a very important role for our healthy life.
 The first one is one of the very ignorant nutrient which is "phytochemicals" which are obtained from plants sources. The word 'phyto' it self means plants. These are compounds which act as antioxidants, mimicking hormones and suppressing the development of diseases, thus they have tremendous health benefits. people who consume a lots of fruits and vegetable or people who have a habit of having a fruit daily or people who eat balanced diet containing right amount of fruits and vegetables have less risk of developing diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, premature ageing and many more and the factor behind it is phytochemicals.
 Carotenoids in deep yellow, orange and green vegetables and fruits like broccoli, carrot, pumpkin, tomatoes, spinach acts as anti oxidants and reduce the risk of heart disease. Flavonoids in berries, blactea, darl chocolate,citrus fruits, green tea, onions, soya bean etc has a big role in preventing cancers. These phytochemicals not only prevent from diseases but they are also helpful in treating diseases also helps recover body faster after treatment.
There are many other phytochemicals like garlic, onions, leeks, chives, citrus fruits, legumes, grains, red grapes, red pepper, tangerine, apricot, peas etc which help us get disease resistant.

The another nutrients are vitamins and minerals, yes we all know about them but do we know that these two micro nutrients are the main nutrients which not just help macro nutrients to function properly but also help maintain our good healthy status. It does take care of our immune system so that our body become strong and can fight against the external harmful bacteria. vitamins and minerals get our body ready for every attack of external harmful bacterial infections and also take cares of our skin, hair, nails, eyes and other body parts as well.

so, by this you can conclude that it is very important to take care of your diet that what all are you eating and whatever you are eating does contain such nutrients which just not focuses on you living but a healthy living away from diseases as well as from medicine which now a days have become a regular habit. so next time you gulp a single medicine, think about the kind  of food you are having.

(Stay Healthy)
