Finding and maintaining a healing diet that's right for you is one of life's greatest achievements. Think about it: How many of your accomplishments can radically improve your health, protect you from major illness, give you abundant energy, help create and sustain a positive outlook and make you look and feel years younger than your chronological age? When you consider all the suffering, medication, and surgery that you can avoid by eating health-promoting foods every day, you start to realize that a healing diet may be one of the four or five greatest gifts you could ever receive.
