More on Food as Medicine.

I posted about this recently. Here is another look at the subject, this time an M.D. in the Minneapolis - St Paul area who is taking the health benefits of good nutrition seriously. Great to see. She is essential 'prescribing' food to do what she used to prescribe pharmaceuticals to accomplish.

My favorite quote is: "My patients' cholesterol levels and blood pressure numbers were good, but they all looked and felt awful," she said, "and I realized that what I was doing was just making numbers look good and not treating the underlying problems of diet and nutrition."

Yes! I've experienced that myself. Encouraging to see this approach. Hope others will follow the lead. Check out this post to see a growing wave of pros who are doing just that.
