Food as Medicine
“Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.”
– Hippocrates
Obtaining or maintaining good health begins from the ground up. We can only be as healthy as what we choose to water and feed our body.
Supplements vs. Food
Do we really need to choose?
The USDA has discovered that at least 75% of the US population does not meet the Recommended Daily Allowances for vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. And the position of the American Medical Association is every person should be taking a Multivitamin daily.
We know that supplements alone will never meet our nutritional needs as whole foods have many nutrients which have not been discovered. We also know that during times of illness the need for certain nutrients increase. This is where it is important to discover your individual needs based on nutrition/medical history and genetics.
When diet, supplements and physical activity are partnered your personal best results can be achieved.
