Food can either heal you or harm you

Food is the Foundation of health. And a growing body of research tells us that eating the right foods can:

• Reduce obesity, lower blood pressure, improve blood sugar control, and drop LDL cholesterol levels

• Lower death rates from heart disease

• Bring down chronic inflammation

• Make your mind clearer and your mood happier

• And even be a cost-effective “medical intervention” — meaning that in some cases, food could reduce or eliminate the need for medications and surgeries

The healthiest foods are even shown to help prevent cancer and dementia.

You don’t have to be vegetarian or vegan to reap the reward from these incredible foods, including a longer life.

But you do need to eat them daily if you want the best results.
