Food As Medicine: It's Not Just A Fringe Idea Anymore

Food As Medicine: It's Not Just A Fringe Idea Anymore | SELF HEALTH + HEALING | Scoop.it

"Treating people through nutrition is not a new idea, but it's making inroads as more medical professionals make meals a formal part of care, rather than relying solely on medications."


 Nadeau is part of a small revolution brewing across California. The food-as-medicine movement has been around for decades, but it's making inroads as physicians and medical institutions make food a formal part of treatment, rather than relying solely on medications. By prescribing nutritional changes or launching programs such as "Shop with Your Doc," they're trying to prevent, limit or even reverse disease by changing what patients eat.

Why Being Nice Makes You Fat

Why Being Nice Makes You Fat | SELF HEALTH + HEALING | Scoop.it

by Marcia Sirota, MD FRPC

 

"You probably know someone in your life who is really, really nice. (Maybe it’s you?) This person is so nice that no-one has ever seen them angry or even a little bit irritated. They’re always eager to please, and if a misunderstanding should arise between themselves and someone else, they try ever so hard to placate the other person, hoping to make the problem go away. You must have also seen people taking advantage of this person’s kindness, often treating them with disrespect or even contempt. The more they try to please, the less respect these nice folk seem to get."

Excellent article about how being nice, and accomodating, often leads to stuffing feelings down with food, which leads to weight gain. 

 

This academic article confirms my own experience, and I was very glad to read this. I have "felt" this is the truth for a long time and this writer explained and articulated this so well. Bravo!
