How to Replace Medicine with Food

Pills are not always the best solution. Learn how to replace medicine with certain healthy foods that can be equally effective.

People have always known that there is a cure for everything found in nature. Unfortunately, we have turned our backs to analyzing the effects of this type of medicine (alternative medicine). Modern people prefer to visit the nearest pharmacy and reach for the pills. Of course, you should not discard the recommendations of doctors and your prescribed therapy. Always consult your doctor about these replacements. However, you can always replace certain painkillers, anxiety pills and sedative pills with products that you already have at your home – healthy food.

Remember that the road to health is not going through a pharmacy, but over your plate. If you usually eat fast food, pizza, pasta, candies and similar products you will surely feel nausea, depression, bloating etc. You may also experience acne, skin diseases, anxiety and many different psychological and physical problems. This is exactly when we look for pills and supplements, but the truth is that if we stop for a moment and think about it – should we eat vegetables and practice a healthy diet in general?

You don’t have to practice a strict and planned diet and to think about every small piece of food that will enter your mouth. However, small and significant changes can put your life back on the healthy track.

Mandatory daily food

One of the healthiest changes for the whole family is to include fish in your menu at least twice a week, especially fish that is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, important for the heart, skin and brain.

When it comes to breakfast, you should consume more oatmeal and cereals. Combine them with yogurt, nuts and sour cream. The yogurt or even better kefir will strengthen your immune system, fix the digestive tract. Try to avoid yogurts and kefir with a “light” mark on them because they usually contain artificial sweeteners.
