Healing Foods for Radiant Wellness

September 6th, 2010 | by admin |

Not only are natural healing foods one of the most wonderful and bountiful gifts supplied by Mother Nature, they also happen to have amazing healing qualities.

Enjoy a natural health food diet and you are going to find yourself radiating good health and energy. This is especially helpful for people recuperating from serious illnesses. Eating as healthfully as possible will help you build up your natural strength and immune system.

Not only do healing foods build up your natural immune system against disease, they also prevent diseases from occurring. Some of the major debilitating and degenerative diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart problems can be prevented, and even restricted, with foods that heal.

Unfortunately, the majority of our foods are either overly processed or preserved with chemicals, depleting the health benefits of these foods. Chemicals and preservatives destroy all of the natural bounty that is available to us. Instead, turn to eating all the colors of the rainbow; choosing red, orange, purple, yellow and green raw or lightly cooked veggies and fruits.

Go for seeds, oils, and nuts derived from plant-based natural products like olive oil, instead of consuming hydrogenated fats. If cooking foods in oil is needed, try using olive oil. A simple change like that may lessen the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Whole-grain foods are a must in any healthy diet. Whole grains that have not been overly processed are extremely rich in fiber, minerals, and vitamin B. Brown rice, whole wheat, and brown bread are much healthier substitutes over white pasta and rice.

If you are healing from a serious illness, lessening your intake of red meat can be beneficial in helping your system heal faster. Instead, substitute your diet with legumes, beans, lentils and omega-3 rich fish like salmon and mackerel. If you really need to eat meat, choose chicken or turkey and keep the red meat for an occasional meal.

Limit dairy products to three times a day, for optimum healing benefits. Dairy milk can also be substituted with calcium-fortified orange juice, or even soy milk. A Sampling of Six Sensational Healing Foods:

Although not “sexy,” these simple foods have powerful health benefits and can easily be added to most diets.

Healthy, all-natural foods, eaten the way nature intended, will go a long way to helping you achieve health wealth!

May this be only the beginning of your quest for healthy eating and living.

Here’s to your Best Health!
