Contest: Food is Medicine
Hello readers how are all doing today, hope that all of you will be fine. Best wishes for all of you and best of luck for the contest. A great and knowledgeable contest organized by our community's Admin @sahmie; so we can share our view point and people should know the limitation and use of certain food.
"Food"
Q: Do you believe that the foods we eat have medicinal value?
Q: Give 5 examples of foods that you consider to be powerful "medicines" for the body, and what they do.
Honey
Honey is sweet natural food which is the best medicine for human body. It contains antioxidants and is antibacterial. It is good for health, better for heart diseases and is good for cough, and other chest diseases. It keeps the body warm in winter.
Ginger
Ginger is good for constipation and kills radicals in stomach. It boost stomach function and helps in metabolic reactions. I mix ginger powder with pomegranate's grinded peel and then adding few spoons of Isabgol (Psyllium Husk). I use this as a medicine when I feel swelling of stomach and other stomach problems; after that my stomach is working wonderfully.
Pomegranate
Almond
Orange
- Orange contains vitamin C which is best for skin and helps in digestion. It is good for avoiding cancer. Orange is used to recover your minerals after diarrhea. It cures skin diseases and gives you a smooth and better skin.
Q: How can we use food in our daily lives to keep healthy?
We should use food accordingly, if we are having certain type of disease we should not use certain food which can make that severe. e.g. if we are having diarrhea so we should avoid oily food and which are warm in nature. Moreover, we should eat food prescribed by doctors when you are not feeling well. Lastly, eating food accordingly, like, eating fats and sugary food in less amount. Carbohydrates should be used mostly and then proteins.
Q: Do you think it's important for schools to teach about how food can be like medicine for our bodies? Why?
I think educational should teach students about benefits of food because when I am feeling certain problem I search for home remedy on the internet. I don't use artificial medicine because it lowers my immunity so I prefer home remedy. If we were taught about these remedies in schools so now we will be guiding our parents and other people who don't know about the medication in food. People are relying on medicines which is beneficial for health and have side effects so the new generation should be taught about food medication to avoid these artificial medicines.

By understanding how certain foods can ward off illness, students develop preventive health care habits. It increases self-reliance and reduces dependence on drugs, promoting long-term wellness.
