No matter how the latest health trends change, some foods will always help prevent disease and keep you vital, says Ron Cotterel, M.D., M.S., a family medicine and integrative medicine doctor with Sutter Medical Foundation.
“If you look at population studies, you’ll find that certain foods really do make a difference,” Dr. Cotterel says. “Why not get your medicine from food instead of paying someone to process it and separate it out?”
Superfoods are the powerhouses of the food chain, packed with properties that help protect against everything from cardiovascular disease and cancer to arthritis and depression.
