Can Food Replace Medicine?
If Food is indeed medicine, then it's time to treat it that way. In his upcoming book, Eat to Beat Diseases, Dr William Li, a heart expert, pulls together years of stored data and processes specific doses (剂量) of food that can treat diseases from a mild cold to cancer. Not all doctors agree that the science supports food like drugs, but he is hoping the idea will motivate more researchers to study food in ways as strict as possible and generate stronger data in coming years. "We are far away from prescribing (开处方) diets to fight diseases," he says. "And we may never get there. But we are looking to fill in the that have long existed in this field with real science. This is the beginning of a better tomorrow."
And talking about food in terms of doses might push more doctors to focus on patients' grocery lists instead. So far, several hundred people who rely on the Fresh Food Program have had their risk of serious diabetes (糖尿病) complications by 40% and hospitalizations cut by 70% compared with other diabetic people in the area who lack to the program. This year, on the basis of its success so far, the Fresh Food Program is doubling the number of patients it .
Shicowich knows firsthand how important that will be for people like him. When he was first , he lost weight and controlled his blood sugar, but he found those changes hard to maintain and soon saw his weight and his blood-sugar levels skyrocket. He has become one of the program's better-known success stories, and now works part time in the produce section of a supermarket and cooks nearly all his meals. He's his cooking skills to include fish, which he had never tried preparing before. "I know what healthy food looks like, and I know what to do with it now," he says. "Without this program and without the support system, I will probably still be sitting on a couch with a box of biscuits."
