Explore with me and discover how food can heal!



As my knowledge of food science gradually increases, I have discovered that the quote sometimes attributed to Hippocrates really is true: "Let your food be medicine and your medicine be food." As a former pre-med student and the mother of seven children I have found over the years that the medicinal band-aids so often administered by the doctors of our day are far less effective than the consistent consumption of whole foods accompanied by physical activity. Often medications and treatments are prescribed with rarely a word about improving an individual's diet. Foods provided to patients in hospitals reflect the misconceptions that many in the medical establishment have about nutrition. And while I find myself in disagreement with the methods employed by some doctors, I do recommend that you seek the advice and help of a qualified physician who places great emphasis on nutrition and preventive therapies. If you have a good one, count yourself as blessed!

The Green Smoothie Girl

May I introduce you to Robyn? She is known on the web as "Green Smoothie Girl" and is a big promotor of whole foods. I am still working toward drinking a true green smoothie. We've made a couple and I just haven't been able to drink them down. I have been able to manage spinach and a little dark green lettuce in my fruit smoothies. I'm working my way up to true green, though! Green Smoothie Girl is a great resource and inspiration. Let me know if you find any treats that work for you! Enjoy!
