LET FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE TODAY

Live Healthy and Strong on Plant-based Whole Foods

The book "Let Food Be Your Medicine Today" by Guildford Joe Thomas is a comprehensive guide on the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle for overall health and well-being. It covers the author's personal journey, scientific evidence, and practical advice on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes.


  • Author's Journey:  Joe reflects on his 50-year plant-based lifestyle journey, highlighting the positive changes in his health and energy  levels, and his commitment to educating others about the benefits of this lifestyle.


  • Plant-Based Diet Benefits: The book emphasizes the numerous health benefits of a plant-based diet, including improved physical health, mental clarity, and a deeper  connection to the environment.


  • Scientific Evidence: Joe  presents strong scientific evidence supporting the idea that food, not pharmaceutical  drugs, is the best medicine, and that a whole-food, plant-based diet can prevent and even reverse chronic diseases.


  • Critique of Modern Medicine: He offers a scathing critique of the pharmaceutical industry and conventional medicine for their focus on treating symptoms with drugs and surgery rather than addressing the root causes of diseases through nutrition.


  • Black Health: This chapter addresses the nutritional health challenges in Black communities, emphasizing the lack of recognition and action by government and  health agencies in Canada and the United States. It highlights the benefits of a plant-based  diet in combating hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease, which disproportionately affect Black people. The chapter also explores the historical and cultural factors influencing dietary habits and stresses the need to reclaim the plant-based focus of ancestral diets from African countries.


  • Practical Advice: The  book provides practical advice on adopting a plant-based diet, including tips on meal planning, shopping for nutritious foods, and cooking healthy meals at home.


  • Exercise and Lifestyle: Joe also emphasizes the importance of regular exercise and a balanced lifestyle to complement a healthy diet for overall well-being.


  • Generational Health: The  concept of generational health is introduced, encouraging families to adopt healthy eating habits and lifestyles that can be passed down to future generations.


  • Specific Health Conditions: The  book addresses specific health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, providing dietary guidelines and success stories of  individuals who have benefited from a plant-based diet.


  • Holistic Approach: Finally, Joe advocates for a holistic approach to health, integrating nutrition, exercise, mental health, and spiritual well-being.
