Do you believe that the foods we eat have medicinal value?

Certainly, I am deeply convinced that the food we eat has curative properties as certain foods embody certain chemicals which have been medically proven to have a wide range of health benefits including, reducing inflammation and boosting the immune system and lowering chronic disease risk so it’s very vital you follow an assortment and balanced diet to get all the nutrition and health advantages from different types of food.

Give 5 examples of foods that you consider to be powerful "medicines" for the body, and what they do.

As a food option, I enjoy spinach. In other words, spinach is a power house of wonderful dietary and nutritional antioxidant vitamins that are good for eyesight as well as helping prevent cancer For example, it has been suggested that elsewhere among other things, Spinach also helps in the maintenance of eye health and prevention of cancer. Elsewhere, potassium-rich spinach has been used to control blood pressure levels making it one of the major sources.

turmeric: It's an active ingredient curcumin with strong anti-inflammatory and also antioxidant properties which makes it effective in inflammation reduction and cognitive improvement.

Garlic: Another wonderful part of it is garlic which is high in sulphur compounds that have numerous health benefits such as strengthening the system, lowering blood pressure, promoting heart health by reducing cholesterol levels, or minimizing chances of blood clotting.

Blueberries are rich, in vitamins and fiber known for their aging properties, memory enhancement benefits and potential health advantages.

And lastly is salmon which supports cardiovascular health and eating salmon regularly helps lower the risk of heart disease.

How can we use food in our daily lives to keep healthy?

Food is something that when someone hear about it the person will be happy that means food brings happiness and how we can use food in our daily lives to keep healthy is by eating a balanced diet that's all that matters knowing the type of food you consume it's good for someone to eat balanced diet.

Do you think it's important for schools to teach about how food can be like medicine for our bodies? Why .

Yes it's really important for schools to teach about how food can be like medicine for our body the reason is that it will make the students to know the type of food they will be eating and once students learn it they will put it in practice and I my school taught me so many things about food and some food we should avoid eating at night that's why it's good to attend school education is the key to success.

Thanks for reading my post I'm glad to invite @goodybest,@rad-austine and @emmy01 to participate in this contest.
