Food is Medicine

DHA supports circulatory and cardiovascular. It is an Omega 3 fatty acid essential for brain development during pregnancy and early childhood. It is also linked to improve heart health, better vision, and reduce inflammatory response.  

Phytochemicals are nutrients in plant-based foods. They have existed since the beginning of plant life on Earth, and our ancient ancestors were the first to observe their many potential healing properties. Today, following decades of research, more than 4000 phytochemicals have been identified, and approximately 100 have been intensively studied for their medicinal properties. Some phytochemicals commonly found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and herbs are extremely rich in powerful medical properties that can actually help prevent-and even cure- disease. 

Researchers have identified 3 keyways that phytochemicals help boost immunity. Their powerful antioxidants help neutralize disease causing free radicals. They also help eliminate toxic wastes by manipulating phase 1 and phase 2 enzymes and regulate disease-causing hormones.  

Monoterpenes have been found to cause inhibition of the growth of human colon cancer cell lines, and also show significant cytotoxicity against human liver cell lines. They produce enzymes that block breast, pancreatic, lung, skin and stomach cancer-causing compounds. They also reduce arterial plaque formation.
