All of the latest research is showing that food has unknown numbers of phytonutrients http://detoxthebodymcs.com/what-are-phytochemcials-antioxidants-and-healing-foods/ that are yet to be discovered. So many of these work synergisticly to aid healing. The Amazon Shamans (forefathers and mothers of many modern medicine cures) actually are taught by the spirit of the plant.
The Bible says about plants,” Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”.
The reason that juicing and healing with foods is so popular is because it works!
Eat a variety of foods with a variety of colors. Certain phytonutrients give different colors.
Fresh, Organic, Non-irradiated is the best way to eat plant foods.
Grass Fed is the only way to eat meat and dairy. The nutrition is a night and day of difference.
People are adamant about all variety of diets. I personally agree with the diet where you eat Grass Fed meats and lots of fruit and veggies(some raw some cooked) and not too much grain. (I rarely eat wheat). I tried the raw diet, and have some very healthy friends who do this. I cook my collards in bacon fat-southern style like my mom makes; otherwise I won’t be so motivated to eat them. Chinese Medicine says est cooked vegetables and say they are easier to digest. I eat lots of Superfoods!
Just get the best food you can!
