Diseases & Its Solutions in Foods

HEADACHE EAT FISH

Eat plenty of fish -- fish oil helps prevent headaches. So does ginger, which reduces inflammation and pain.

HAVE FEVER EAT YOGURT
Eat lots of yogurt before pollen season. Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily.
TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK TEA
Prevent buildup of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea. (actually, tea suppresses my appetite and keeps the pounds from invading....Green tea is great for our immune system)
INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP ) HONEY
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.
ASTHMA EAT ONIONS
Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes.
ARTHRITIS EAT FISH, TOO
Salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines actually prevent arthritis. (fish has omega oils, good for our immune system)
UPSET STOMACH BANANAS - GINGER
Bananas will settle an upset stomach. Ginger will cure morning sickness and nausea.
BLADDER INFECTION DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
BONE PROBLEMS EAT PINEAPPLE
Bone fractures and osteoporosis can be prevented by the manganese in pineapple.
PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME EAT CORNFLAKES
Women can ward off the effects of PMS with cornflakes, which help reduce depression, anxiety and fatigue.
MEMORY PROBLEMS EAT OYSTERS
Oysters help improve your mental functioning by supplying much-needed zinc.
COLDS EAT GARLIC
Clear up that stuffy head with garlic. (remember, garlic lowers cholesterol, too.)
COUGHING USE RED PEPPERS
A substance similar to that found in the cough syrups is found in hot red pepper. Use red (cayenne) pepper with caution-it can irritate your tummy.
BREAST CANCER EAT Wheat, bran and cabbage
Helps to maintain estrogen at healthy levels.

Cabbage contains chemicals that help heal both gastric and duodenal ulcers.

Grate an apple with its skin, let it turn brown and eat it to cure this condition. (Bananas are good for this ailment)
CLOGGED ARTERIES EAT AVOCADO
Mono unsaturated fat in avocados lowers cholesterol.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE EAT CELERY AND OLIVE OIL
Olive oil has been shown to lower blood pressure. Celery contains a chemical that lowers pressure too.
BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCE EAT BROCCOLI AND PEANUTS
The chromium in broccoli and peanuts helps regulate insulin and blood sugar.
