Food is NOT Thy Medicine
Manage episode 373843473 series 3501443
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘Let Food Be Thy Medicine’. Besides being a classic opening for many wellness speeches, this phrase is often used to justify why people should take a ‘foods first’ approach to health. But should we really try and ‘let food be our medicine’? Or can this approach backfire and cause more harm than good? Join us, two registered dietitians, as we dig into the history of this famous quote and give our thoughts on whether food really is the best medicine.
