Eating is surely one of life’s greatest pleasures. Not only do we eat food to survive, we eat food because it makes us feel good. It sustains and unites us. But food is more than simply a way to enjoy living. Food is also the key to having a healthy – or unhealthy – life. That’s right. Eating the correct food is vital. In fact, doing so can be a useful therapeutic aid for a variety of chronic conditions.
For example, a typical western style diet is high in saturated fat, sugars, and salts and does not put enough emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, calcium and fibre (which are all essential to living healthy, wholesome lives). What is the outcome of eating such a poor diet? Well, eating such a way contributes to four of the six leading causes of death and increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, strokes, arthritis, hypertension, depression, and cancer.
With so many people – young and old – battling with such conditions, we need to address some ways that food can help the health of families who want better health outcomes for them and their children.
The concept of Food as Medicine has been around for thousands of years. In today’s world, the information on food and nutrition is at an all-time high. However, with media information overload, there is a lot of confusion and misinformation for people trying to find the best remedies for them and their family. In what way can food be medicine? And how can utilising this form of treatment benefit you?

Food Therapy
Even when you are prescribed herbs or pharmaceuticals as the treatment for your ailment, if your diet is not addressed then your health outcomes will be limited. That is why food therapy is important in the preventative healthcare strategy and in the management of certain chronic diseases.
Vitamin and mineral supplements are commonly prescribed by many CAM practitioners as natural cures and remedies for many ailments. Still, it is important to note that these supplements should only be used transiently; more health benefits can be delivered by whole foods.
Wholesome diets are as useful as natural cures and remedies for many acute and chronic ailments. Whole foods contain a number of substances that work synergistically and may be far more effective than supplements which just deliver one of them. These whole foods contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients which work together to treat and prevent various acute and chronic diseases that may affect your family.
Food as Medicine
A large number of illnesses that are encountered by family GP’s /physicians (at least 1 in 6 consultations) have required the relevant intervention of dietary and nutritional guidance. Many patients perceive their family doctor as the most obvious and reliable resource when it comes to information about food and diet. However, several research studies have shown that many doctors do not feel confident about giving nutrition advice because it is a niche subject, needing specialist education in order to deliver the best line of treatment.
Science has now confirmed what traditional medicine systems have always known: nutrition is important in both the pathogenesis and treatment of disease. Nevertheless, a one-size-fits-all approach to dietary therapy is not efficacious in the treatment of diseases as the needs of the individuals, the diversity in culinary traditions, and the symptoms presented by patients all vary. Thus, an individualised scientific approach to therapeutic diets that have been tried and tested is required.

Diet is the cornerstone of anti-aging and preventive medicine, and it can reverse – or diminish – the symptoms of many medical conditions. The Food as Medicine advice from Apple A Day RX will set you on the correct nutritional path to health and wellbeing for you and your family. It’s time to start eating correctly – and living – well.
