Food has been regarded as potent medicine for thousands of years. But thanks to pharmaceutical drugs (processed chemicals mostly from herbs and plant substances), it has been pushed to the backseat; pill popping is convenient compared to the diligent study of food pharmacology.

Food do contain pharmacological agents, in fact, our everyday food in our diet is full of them. Imagine shopping for natural laxatives, painkillers, contraceptives, antibiotics, antidepressants, cholesterol controllers, anticoagulants, and many more from the grocery store instead of the pharmacy; or learning of new recipes, changing our eating habits, and eating various foods in the right proportion to ward off disease. Making full use of the therapeutic powers of food is no longer folklore. Food as medicine is real; thousands of scientific research papers had been established, tests validated, doctors and scientists themselves amazed at the powers of the food pharmacy. Why shouldn't they, and we - because food, after all, is the most potent drug of them all!
