Hippocrates famous quote, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” — which we translated to “food is medicine” and used as Nutrition motto. Still to this day medical doctors and historians consider Hippocrates to be the founder of Medicine. Hippocrates was ahead of his time when, around the year 400 B.C, advised that prevention and treatment of diseases first and foremost by eating a nutrient-dense diet.

The Ancient Greeks weren’t the only ones to propagate this. Many traditional systems of healing which have been practiced throughout history — including Ayuvedic Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, for example — have taught for thousands of years that food is medicine and a healthy diet is a powerful tool for protecting one’s health.

Why is a calorie not just a calorie when it comes to your health, and how come it matters so much which types of foods you get your calories from? Foods provide us with energy (calories), but they do much more than that. Foods you include in your diet plays a critical role in controlling inflammation levels, helping digestive organs to process and eliminate waste,stabilising blood pressure and cholesterol levels, balancing blood sugar, regulating cardiovascular health, and much more.

Studies and research show nutrient deficiencies and toxicity from a poor diet are linked to nearly all modern health conditions. We already know that diabetes and heart disease (currently the No. 1 killer in our country and most industrialized nations) are also illnesses that are highly influenced by one’s diet — and the same can be said for allergies, autoimmune disorders like arthritis, thyroid disorders and many more.

Nutritional factors are implicated in the causes of 6 of the 10 leading causes of death in the: heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, cancer, adult-onset (type II) diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and alcohol-induced cirrhosis. The role of diet in both the prevention and treatment of many conditions, such as obesity, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal disorders, low birth weight, dental caries, iron-deficiency anaemia, and certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies, is clearly documented. As a result of these developments and new data linking environmental factors and lifestyle to health and illness, medical attention is shifting to the prevention and treatment of chronic and degenerative diseases, most of which have a complex etiology. Diet is not only a factor in the cause of these diseases but also is important in their treatment.
