Health/Natural Food

This is more than just alternative medicine - allopathic medicine also recommends low fat, almost vegatarian diets for optimum health. In fact though, the typical Western diet is high in fat, leading, with lack of physical activity, to the epidemic of obesity in the developed world.

The health benefits of certain foods are well known-green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and kale for cancer prevention; garlic and onions for cardiac health; and high fiber foods for colonic health. More recently, soy foods and products have been introduced in the Western diet, and they are known to have a variety of health benefits.
