Let me tell you about the infamous 3 C's—cutting, cooking, and cleaning. Sounds simple, right? But for many of us dancing into our golden years, they're more like curse words. I remember the first time I tried following one of those "healthy recipes" from a glossy magazine. By the time I was done, I felt like I had run a marathon, as I did in 1979.
When Healthrageous says "food as medicine," we're not talking about sending you into the kitchen to duel with a butternut squash. No, we're thinking about how to make eating well as easy as popping a pill—minus the actual pill, of course.
Every time I hear "food as medicine" (or FaM), it feels like we're missing a piece of the puzzle. You see, in my adventures through the maze of healthy living—yes, including those marathon-running days—I've stumbled upon a truth that seems to escape those fancy medical journals. Let's chat about why this well-meaning phrase often ends up lost in translation, especially for us seniors.
Let's face it: scientific studies are like a foreign language. With their P Values and sample sizes, they're supposed to guide us toward better health. But when they tell us munching on carrots will turn us into eagle-eyed creatures, I can't help but chuckle. It's not just about what we eat; it's about making it fit into our real lives.
A recent study (Food As Medicine: A Great Idea That Didn't Work by John M. Mandrola, MD. Medscape. February 22, 2024) caught my eye, one where they dished out whole grains and veggies like they were going out of style. The aim? To prove that eating fresh fruit and vegetables could turn the tide on diabetes. Spoiler alert: the results were as bland as the diet. But here's the kicker—what if the meals were ready-to-eat, no 3 C's involved? I bet my last dollar the outcome would've had those researchers eating their words.
It's high time we redefined "food as medicine" to actually fit into your life. That's where Healthrageous #MadeEasyMeals.com are as easy to consume as prescribed medication. Imagine this: tasty dishes that love your heart as much as your taste buds, and all you've got to do is heat 'em up. No chopping, no stirring, no scrubbing pots. Just good food, plain and simple.
