Stop Labelling Food As Junk

Food is the basis of life, a fuel that sustains the basic functioning of the human body. Apart from its nourishing function, it also has a role in emotional healing. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is known to have famously said “Let food be thy medicine…”. This statement in itself reflects the therapeutic value of food. Good food cheers the mind and hence, is central to all celebrations of life. Solution for general wellness is embedded in the food we eat but clarity lies in being able to make correct food choices. The old-school saying “food is nectar if consumed in moderation” also hints at optimising the food we eat.
