Prepare Delicious Food!

Dr Marc Cohen is a medical doctor, university professor, author,…

My years practising as an integrative doctor, and researching and lecturing at universities led to a desire to share knowledge of holistic health by condensing information into digestible formats, producing poetry, memory aids, story books and more. Here are some common sense nutrition-based tips for resilience and extreme wellness to incorporate into a healthy lifestyle.

MAXIMISE:

Fasting – extend your overnight fast and only break-fast when hungry

Flora – leaves, roots, flowers, fruits, and fungi

Ferments – sauerkraut, kombucha, kimchi, kefir, and yoghurt

Flavours – salty, sour, bitter, pungent, sweet

Feasting on healthy food favouring:

Slow and Social over Fast and Alone
Homegrown/made over Bought
Organic over Conventional
Plants over Animals
Whole over Processed

MINIMISE:

Packaging: beware of plastic packaging and food that comes with labels or TV ads
Pesticides: because eating less poison is good for you
Plastics: become perilous persistent pollutants
Pharmaceuticals: potent, pills sold for profit
Politics: focuses attention on the opposition, rather than creating solutions

LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE

PREPARE SUPER-SNACKS FOR DELICIOUS IMMUNE SUPPORT

Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients such as vitamin C, zinc and polyphenols support immune function by helping maintain the structure and function of the skin, mucous membranes and cells. Zinc also blocks viral replication and interferes with reverse transcriptase enzymes that would otherwise allow viruses to take over your DNA.

Zinc has important antiviral activity, however, zinc is poorly absorbed and drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin can act as ionophores that move zinc into cells. Bioflavonoids such as quercetin, luteolin and catechin also act as zinc ionophores and bioflavonoid-rich foods such as dark chocolate, berries, and rosehip, serve as nature’s vitamin pills. Similarly, seeds such as pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and hemp seeds, which are naturally high in zinc, serve as nature’s mineral supplements. Dark chocolate, berries and seeds are therefore super-snacks that provide delicious immune support.
