What is Food Therapy? Food therapy is using your food as medicine to heal your body, bring the nutrients needed in a way that is wholesome, natural and easy for your body to utilize.
With school about to start, it may feel like summer is wrapping up. Until you go outside, that is. With the incredible heat out there, be sure to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Keep cool by eating "cooling" foods, and believe it or not, spicy foods, like peppers or ginger root! These piquant and pungent foods help your body sweat, and in turn cool off.
Capsaicin (the active component in peppers) also works as a mood enhancer. To help make up for the burning sensation, your body releases endorphins, which make you happy afterwards.
A list of fruits and veggies that can help cool you down: melons, berries, cucumbers, celery, citrus fruits, mint, radishes, green leafy vegetables for salad
Stay cool everyone!
