Shocking Medical Discovery: Your Food Contains a Dose of Medicine Stronger Than Pharmacies!

A recent report published by Time magazine revealed that food can be more beneficial than medication in improving human health, as supported by modern studies highlighting the impact of food on the body surpassing that of medications and medical tests. Factors such as sleep, exercise, stress levels, and food all contribute to determining an individual's overall health. At a time when many are frustrated with the slow progress of drug treatments for food-related diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure, and even cancer, the focus on healthy diets is increasing. Recent research confirms that modifying diet may have a greater impact than medications in prevention and treatment. Dr. Jae Yun Rho, interim CEO of a company specializing in healthy nutrition, stated, "When people learn how to prepare healthy meals, it can be more impactful than the medications themselves." Although foods cannot be tested in the same way as drugs in scientific experiments, data-based studies, whether from population studies or animal experiments, indicate similar results. For example, a 2002 government study showed that individuals who changed their lifestyles to consume healthy food and increase physical activity reduced the risk of diabetes by 58% compared to those who did not change their habits, while those who took a drug like metformin only reduced the risk by 31%. Another study in 2010 showed that individuals who followed a healthy diet, quit smoking, reduced stress through meditation, and improved their social relationships experienced significant health improvements, lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and even reversing some heart artery damage. Dr. William Li, a vascular expert, in his book "Eating to Beat Disease," pointed out that some foods may be beneficial in treating various diseases, including diabetes and breast cancer. However, there is still debate among doctors about whether food can replace medications, but this idea opens the door for further scientific research to provide stronger evidence of the impact of food on health improvement. With the growing interest in the impact of food on health, the future is expected to witness more detailed studies on this subject, which may contribute to fundamentally changing disease treatment methods.
