In biomedical research, countless projects aim to discover new compounds that can treat or cure diseases. These discoveries are remarkable and often life-saving.
But here’s a thought — instead of waiting for illness and depending on drugs, why not focus on prevention?
A diet rich in antioxidants, fiber, and phytochemicals can naturally support our body’s defense system. Interestingly, many of the same compounds isolated in labs already exist in the fruits, vegetables, and greens we have access to every day.
By making mindful dietary choices, we can reduce disease risk, strengthen overall health, and lead a more pain-free, fulfilling life.
Sometimes, the most powerful medicine is found not in a capsule, but on our plate.
