The best medicines are not what you’re accustomed to thinking. They are diet, exercise, sleep, and sunlight.
The most significant positive impact on your good health is diet.
Food is fuel for life. Once you embrace that food’s purpose is not entertainment but fuel, you have safely landed your first hurdle.
Think of fueling your body like filling your car at the gas pump. You wouldn’t overfill your tank to celebrate a special occasion, soften a stressful day, or as a cheat day reward, would you? So we must stop thinking that filling our faces is a reward or a treat. The ultimate gift is to treat our only body with respect and nourish ourselves to live well.
But hey, one cheat day a week is no big deal. Right?
Unless you think of it like this: one cheat day every week equals seven cheat WEEKS every year. That adds up!
The quote “Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food” dates back thousands of years to the father of medicine, Hippocrates. It’s important to acknowledge that the nutrients from eating a variety of foods have the profound ability to heal.
