Nutritious foods keep us healthy and prevent diseases. A well-balanced diet that includes these foods is critical to overall well being. Traditional medicine may be a temporary solution whereas a well-balanced healthy diet is more permanent. For example, diabetics can benefit greatly with a healthy well-balanced diet to resolve the source of the problem instead of temporary medical relief. In fact, many doctors propose a well-balanced meal in addition to their recommendations to ensure a holistic approach to recovery. Let's look at a list of these super foods and see how they affect us.
