Food as medicine is a statement from the history books of health and healing. Through proper diet and ways of life one can direct their lot in life. It seems so obvious but for some time now conventional wisdom has looked down upon this concept. But modern research has shown again and again the truth of this sentiment. We now know that most of the major health concerns that plague us have many of their routes in poor diet, exercise, stress and lifestyle choices.

Excessive inflammation and metabolic metabolic syndrome are now being recognized as the cause of many chronic health concerns.

Poor excercise, high stress and poor nutritional habbits have a very large impact on health

  Metabolic Syndrome
Prevention is what naturopathic medicine is all about.  There is so much that can be done with nutrition alone.  

Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This syndrome has also been linked to neurological declines such as the dementias.  hormonal problems have also been clearly linked to the syndrome.  Many believe metabolic syndrome to be  to some great extent responsable for the development of the epidemic of chronic disease which seams to be sweeping the country.

The good news is that this is a syndrome of poor nutrition and lifestyle.

the syndrome can be detected via basic blood work.  A nutritional consultation with a Naturopathic doctor is the right choice for prevention of this deadly common syndrome. Naturopathic doctors are trained like no other doctoral level medical professional to educate the public on how to combat this growing American syndrome.

  The Power of Nutrition


The following is a short list of foods that have scientific validation in treating disease.
These results are independent of larger dietary changes.


 Hypertension: studies say three sticks of celery a day will lower your blood pressure (systolic and diastolic).

 Vascular protection: (heart disease, hemorrhoids, diabetes): a carton of blueberries or a glass of red wine a day.

 Arthritis: research has shown promising results by avoiding the potato family (Solanaceae) for six months

Solanacea = Potato, eggplant, tomato, peppers, black pepper, tobacco.

 Blood thinners: Many mushrooms are potent blood thinners. In fact mushrooms of certain medicinal/nutritional quality are contraindicated when blood thinning medications are being used, such as Coumadin.  Of course now a days mushrooms have also showed themselves to be powerful immune stimulants in the treatment of cancer.

 Nausea: Ginger is great for nausea during pregnancy.

 Macular Degeneration:Regular and consistent carrots really are medically great for your eyes as they contain beta-Carotene which happen to be a safer form of Vitamin A. 

Vitamin A is known to have countless health research related indications.http://www.astaxanthin.org/carotenoids.htm
