Contest: Food is Medicine
Hello Steemians, welcome to my post. I am excited to participate in this challenge which I have talked about "Food is Medicine"
Do you believe that the foods we eat have medicinal value?
Yes, I believe that the foods we eat have medical value. The medical value of the foods that we eat is what keeps us healthy and strong. It is believed that constant eating of starch food like Garri can affect someone's eyes and make someone not grow healthy, whereas constant eating of protein foods helps build us thereby adding flesh to our body.
Foods such as better-leaf soup are believed to be medical foods that wash our stomachs and help cure diabetes which is a medical food for the treatment of ulcers and diabetes. Also, I believe the foods we eat have medical value for the proteins that we get from eating foods.
Give 5 examples of foods that you consider to be powerful "medicines" for the body, and what they do.
| Example of Foods | What they do |
|---|---|
| Moringa Leaves | The leave helps us to get vitamin C. |
| Papaya | It is a medical food that helps with digestion |
| Ginger | It is a medical food that helps us to relieve indigestion and nausea pain |
| Licorice root | This is a medical food that is mostly consumed by anyone who is experiencing sore throat pain which is useful for the treatment of sore throat. |
| Turmeric | This food is useful for reducing inflammation |
How can we use food in our daily lives to keep healthy?
We can use food in our daily lives to keep healthy, by consuming the foods that can help keep our bodies warm and give us the energy and strength that will keep us healthy and boost our immune system thereby helping us fight disease.
Also, we can use food in our daily lives for the healing of injuries and also for not to fall sick. We use food in our daily lives to enable us to function properly and keep our brains active and strong. It is said that it is only a person who has eaten will have the strength to work.
Do you think it's important for schools to teach about how food can be like medicine for our bodies? Why?
Yes, I think it's important for schools to teach about how food can be like medicine for our bodies. The reason why schools need to teach us is for us to be able to help ourselves whenever we fall sick.
If schools can teach us how food can be like medicine for our bodies we will know the best combination of foods we should be eating and avoid eating the food that is not good for our health. We would also be able to produce medicine for ourselves.
