From the civilizations of ancient Egypt, China and India all the way to the Mayan and Aztec empires, there was one simple truth that was shared by all… food is medicine.
We have always known this. Our relationship to food is one of the most sacred and intimate relationships we’re capable of, from sowing seeds in the Earth to merging with a plant’s energy through consumption.
Food has the power to change our mood, to bring people together and it has the power to heal.
You may have heard the saying, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food.” These words were spoken two thousand years ago by the celebrated Greek Physician, Hippocrates – commonly hailed as the father of modern medicine. He knew that the right foods combined with specific medicinal herbs was a recipe for a long and healthy life
But somewhere along the way, we seem to have forgotten this simple truth.
We started mass-producing food with impersonal machines and artificial ingredients.
We told ourselves that the busy-ness of modern life required this “convenience.”
We went so far as to even dye our foods so that they would appear as though they were just as fresh and vital as they had been before our industrial practices and pesticides stripped away all their nutrients.
Sadly, it’s no surprise that people who consume foods that not only lack nutritional value, but also contain carcinogenic and other harmful ingredients, are winding up sick and even worse.
Because, just as the ancients knew and as modern science finally demonstrates, the key to good health is nutrient-dense, mineral-rich, fully-intact, consciously-created food.
If you want to be healthy and vital, you need to consume food that possesses these same qualities and not just when you’re sick. It’s time for us to remember and embody this ancient truth and to revive both ourselves and our kitchens.
