Create Communities of Wellness in the
marginalized communities in the PH!
The Reality:
We have shifted away from natural
remedies and many of us rely on a
diet of processed, fatty and sugar-
laden food.
The Consequence:
Rates of obesity and chronic diseases
have increased significantly.
Putting the right fuel into your body
to make sure your internal engine is
running smoothly.
Every meal that you consume
influences the way that you feel.
The more nutritious foods you
choose, the healthier you will be.
What does it mean to use Food as Medicine?
Functional whole foods act as
medicine to heal and protect
your body and give the
immune system a break from
dealing with toxins,
preservatives, additives and
chemicals that are included in
so many of today's processed
foods.
