Chapter 1 - Introduction
You are what you eat.
What we eat has a direct effect on how our bodies would react to food and how we intend to live our lives. Many people now are putting great consideration on their health than ever before. Healthcare costs add up and starting to toll as we age.
"Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food." - Hippocrates
Through the years, we have been informed that going natural is better than taking artificial supplements and medications to boost our health. We eat to live and not live to eat. There are many health conditions known to be alleviated only by living healthy practices and taking a healthy diet and making it to a lifestyle. These food do not have side effects, except for allergies, and they are safer for consumption versus any other drugs.
Natural medicines, hence, are also becoming a boom throughout the world. Primarily, countries in Asia and some parts of the US and Europe are setting up teams to study about the effectiveness of medicines derived from plants. They are investigating on how to prove how life sciences and the biological structure of plants can help to aid diseases. Through extracting and testing compounds, they are to know whether they can hinder some ailments to worsen and completely treat them.

They also conferred that people who take only about 10 to 15 percent of calories and 7 percent of protein from their animal meat intake had lower incidence of heart disease, colon cancer, and osteoporosis. This is based on a test performed on over 6,500 people.
"When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need." - Ancient Ayurvedic Proverb
After conducting several tests and putting out hypotheses, the Western and the Chinese found that they had different yet relevant approaches to keeping the body healthy by food consumption. The idea is that people should take healthy food in every meal. Since the body is found to be the best healer to avoid symptoms of diseases and counter them, eating herbs will help to reinforce the body's healing energy.
Prevention of Disease by Eating Herbs
Ashitaba organically grown in the U.S. is a well-kept secret and there are still few plantations of ashitaba all over the world.
The longest traces of people eating herbs for preventing diseases and treating them can be retrieved from China’s history. In fact, Chinese Materia Medica, a reference material categorizing the types of herbs, was written back 3000-4000 years ago.
