You may be familiar with the healing properties of some foods, but unaware that they can be helpful in more than one area of your health.

For instance, you may have heard that flax aids digestion, but did you know it also improves mental health?

Onions reduce the risk of heart attack but they also fight fungus. Fungi and mold can create serious health concerns.

Some scientists and physicians believe that cancer is actually a form of mold. Interestingly enough, onions are also said to combat cancer.

Peaches also combat cancer and aid digestion. Do you know that they can prevent constipation and also help hemorrhoids?

Fresh fruit and vegetables can be excellent sources of nutrients, but not everyone wants to live on a diet of raw fruit and vegetables. That’s fine. Just add a few to your regular diet and you will notice a difference.

Although some people maybe allergic to certain foods that are helpful to the body, there are nearly always other foods that will do much the same thing without any side effects.

I’ve no doubt that you’ve heard that cooking destroys enzymes. Still, you don’t have to abandon the cooked foods you currently enjoy to enjoy better health. No one is suggesting that you eat raw meat.

It’s good to start small if you’re just starting out on the road to healthier eating. You’ll want to choose foods that not only are good for you but that you enjoy. That way you will be inclined to eat them more often.

An excellent book on understanding your body chemistry and eating right to stay healthy is Dr. Jensen’s Guide to Body Chemistry & Nutrition. It’s well-written and very easy to understand.

Another excellent program on raw foods is one by fitness guru and and raw foods expert Yuri Elkaim. Click here for more information.

In many of my blogs I will tell you about programs that I think will help you with weight loss, stress reduction, food addictions, or personal empowerment. If you purchase one of these programs, I will likely be compensated. I just wanted you to know that.
