Healthy Eating Tips: Test Your Food I.Q.

Healthy Eating Tips: Test Your Food I.Q.
Copyright (c) 2006 Debbie Fontana

Healthy eating tips include more than just avoiding "bad"
foods.

Did you know that some medical and scientific studies have
shown that adding certain foods to your diet may help to
prevent or ease certain medical conditions?

Of course, this isn't a prescription to start treating your
illnesses and medical conditions with food. You should
always see a doctor for medical advice and proper diagnosis
before starting any treatment plan.

But you may want to discuss with your doctor if he or she
thinks that eating certain foods may help you (or at least,
not hurt you).

Be especially careful if you take any medications because
some foods can cause adverse effects.
