In a couple of years, I have encountered people who live with diseases whereby medication does modify the effects of the disease. However, the food they consume also plays a significant role in whether they strive or sink.It comes with great fascination to deeply understand which kind of food, the amount of food and the type of food has great benefits and/or limitations on how the body functions.Attaining such knowledge not only helps me assist others but it gives me the ability to heal people with one of the reasons(food)that gives them great comfort.And maybe, just maybe, the breaking of some unhealthy cycles that may exist in certain communities begins with me.
