Contest: Food is Medicine
Hello, my fellow Steemit users!!
Do you believe that the foods we eat have medicinal value? |
|---|
- Yes, I believe that the foods we include in our daily diet, each food has their own medicinal properties that play a vital role in our body. Your general health is greatly impacted by the foods you choose to eat. The improvement or deterioration of our health depends in large part on the choice of food intake. Foods with potent therapeutic and defensive properties exist, however, some foods may exacerbate long-term health issues.
Give 5 examples of foods that you consider to be powerful "medicines" for the body, and what they do. |

The mentioned below foods can be viewed as a powerful medicine for the body.
Vegetables
Vegetables are high in nutrients and low in calories, so most health experts advise consuming them every day. It is widely accepted in science that one of the greatest ways to obtain nutrients from food, even at a young age, is to eat a balanced diet that rotates between various types of vegetables.
Almonds nuts and seeds
Healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein can all be found in nuts and seeds. A good source of protein is almonds. Frequent almond eating has been shown to lower the risk of several cancers. For kids, it is an important source of brain fuel.
Seafish
A diet that is both healthful and well-balanced should include seafish. Their main dietary supply of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids is their meat, which also serves as a good source of vitamins and protein.It helps keep skin thick, supple, and moisturized.
Milk
In addition to supporting appropriate bone formation, milk's calcium content aids in maintaining heart function.. Milk is essential for maintaining our immune system since it contains essential zinc and selenium along with vitamins A and D.
Ginger
Popular spice ginger has been used in traditional medicine for a very long time. Strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances found in ginger, such as gingerol, can aid in lowering oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Particularly for soreness and pain in the muscles, ginger's anti-inflammatory qualities can help reduce pain. Acquiring existing immunity-boosting ingredients of ginger increases immunity
How can we use food in our daily lives to keep healthy? |
|---|
Eat a diet high in whole, minimally processed foods. Compared to processed foods, these are frequently higher in nutrients and free of harmful fats, added sugars, and preservatives. Incorporate fatty fish, avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil as sources of healthful fats. Inflammation reduction, hormone production, and brain health all benefit from these fats. To stay hydrated during the day, sip lots of water. It's simpler to prepare nutritious, well-balanced meals when you cook at home since you have more control over the ingredients and cooking techniques.
Do you think it's important for schools to teach about how food can be like medicine for our bodies? Why? |
|---|
Yes, it is very important for schools to teach their students about how food can be like medicine for our bodies. They must learn early on what to eat and what to avoid to build a better life full of the right nutrients so they can think more clearly, run faster, and behave better, and the list of health benefits is endless. Food is fuel for their bodies. Through school food education, the students learn how to reduce their risk of certain diseases through the intake of powerful food.
