As what our founder and CEO, Dr. David Friedman's take on the popular saying: "You are what you eat", he often says in his TV and radio appearances: "You are what you absorb". This is especially true as to the kind, and potency of nutrition our modern foods have become in this day and age.
In this video, the top authorities on nutrition and health talk about the condition of nutrition and going back to using food as treatment for our ailments in this present days. Taking a quote from the father of medicine, Hippocrates, he said:
"Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food."
Today, mainly due to the conditioning of many ads and supposed "health authorities", we now think that food is there merely to quench hunger, and nutrition mainly comes from pills and tablets. And our first thought in treating illness is to turn to pharmaceutical drugs over the counter or from the family doctor.
Contrary to present day beliefs and practices, this is a relatively new mindset. This paradigm has caused us to turn our backs from the basic truth: food was meant to be the main source of nutrition and health. This deviation from our natural physical nature is undoubtedly the very source of the diseases that plague our world today. And this video: "Food Matters" expands our knowledge about this subject and how we can make it work for us and our loved ones.
