Healing Foods (Margaret Roberts)
Over 2,000 years ago Hippocrates wrote: “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. Each one of the substances in a man’s diet, acts upon his body and changes it in some way, and upon these changes his whole life depends, whether he be in health, in sickness or convalescent.
