Let Food Be Your Medicine

Rx Grocery Guide [Blog]

This blog features cream of the crop, therapeutic cuisine.
Non-toxic, is the word.

You can heal your condition. Put the right fuel in your system!

Whether you suffer from diabetes, metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes), high triglycerides, high LDL's, low HDL's, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, eating disorders, other addictions, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, inflammation, or cancer ...to mention a few conditions influenced by food, drink and your environment, you can enhance your condition and have more energy.

I am here to share secrets of health and vitality with you. If you are on pharmaceuticals, realize those companies want you to stay hooked on drugs. The more meds you are on, the more acidic you become, aggravating inflammation, bone loss and often worsening the very conditions you are trying to heal. So, let's focus on foods and beverages with medicinal properties.

Here's an example you may savor; let's consider dark chocolate as medicine! Non-alkalized [non-Dutched] cocoa is actually an effective strategy to help manage blood pressures, Low HDLs, High LDLs, triglycerides, inflammation, asthma ...not to mention... depression, anxiety and addictions! Those endorphins certainly do help!

Besides having the highest ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) value of all foods on the planet, unprocessed Cocoa and dark chocolate are also super nutrient-dense. Yes! dark chocolate & un-dutched cocoa are foods! Plus, they contain "anandamide", which is a chemical similar to those found in marijuana.

We'll get more into details on the therapeutic applications of dark chocolate in the Rx Grocery Blog, as I identify specific products designed by "conscious companies". I will also highlight foods and beverages which balance hormones, naturally. So check back, periodically to see which cuisine has caught my eye ...and why...

I will be featuring a variety of premium options available in today's natural and organic marketplace. I will include products which are sold in health food stores, mainstream grocery chains and mail order, for those who prefer products to be "drop-shipped" to their front door.

No: hydrogenated oils or other trans fats, commercially refined oils, refined sugars, bleached flours...
