The first line of defense against disease could be your dinner plate. The science of culinary medicine combats illnesses like heart disease, cancer and diabetes with recipes and meals designed to heal.

Food is medicine – that’s the mantra of culinary medicine. As a nutitional coach, Jenny Blaydow, maintains that food is the best way to prevent, treat and even reverse illness. She has harnessed the power of a healthy diet to fight obesity, diabetes, arthritis, metabolic syndrome, heart disease and depression. Even your cancer risk could be reduced! Over 80% of cancers are caused by controllable lifestyle factors, which include diet and execise.

 

Preventing illness can be as easy as knowing which foods to eat and how to prepare them. Take small steps to fighting disease today by introducing nutrient-dense foods into your diet.

 

Eating "superfoods" just once a week can provide potent illness-fighting benefits. And that’s just for starters!
