5 Healing Foods That Changed My Life

It wasn’t the series of steroids, and anti-inflammatory medications that doctors were prescribing. It wasn’t all the therapy I did to understand why I was "allergic" to my immune system. What helped me get on the road to health was an elimination of wheat, adding healthy fats, and more protein. I was a strict vegetarian for over 26 years, for moral and ethical reasons, and I can say now that without a doubt this had been poisoning my body, health and hormonal endocrine system. I'm still mostly a vegetarian, but I do eat some grass-fed beef once every few months medicinally. That and making sure my diet is 100% organic, and filled with healthy fats, and lots of mineral rich greens has brought me the kind of vitality and health I always yearned for in my 20s and 30s. The five foods that really helped me heal are:

Avocados are anti-inflammatory, and contain healthy fats like oleic acid, omega fatty acids and antioxidants. They also promote blood sugar regulation.

Coconut oil contains vitamin E, antibacterial properties, and healthy fats for skin and hair health.

Nut butters like almond and walnut butters rich in protein, B vitamins, calcium, minerals, omega-3s and more.

Greens like kale, spinach and nettles are the most concentrated form of nutrition. They're rich in minerals, and vitamins like K, C and E.

Meat or broth from bison, taken medicinally, contains omega-3s and vitamin E.
