Linda Comment: We are what we EAT!! Food is healing, that is if you are not eating GMO garbage….Today it is even more important that we watch what we eat and try and get the foods that will help us heal….
Dr. Gordon’s Comments:
his research supports the need to prescribe food, not drugs, to patients. Each serving of fruit or vegetable lowers overall risk by 4%.
The findings also suggested that people who consumed at least eight portions of fruits and vegetables per day had a 22 percent lower risk of fatal ischemic heart disease compared with those in the study who consumed three or fewer servings per day. In fact, the data shows that EVERY SERVING lowered risk by 4% and even a medium size apple counted as two servings! So an apple a day DOES help keep the doctor away.
Excerpt:
Consumption of Fruit and Vegetables May Reduce Risk of Heart Disease.
Source: European Heart JournalDiseases of the heart and circulation are so common and the laity is so well acquainted with the major symptoms resulting from these disorders that patients and occasionally physicians, erroneously attribute many noncardiac complaints to cardiovascular disease. Ischemia, or inadequate myocardial perfusion, is manifest most frequently as chest discomfort.
