Truth About Food: Power of food

October 9, 2007

How to stay young and beautiful. How to be sexy and fertile. How to look good and stay slim. How to perform at your peak. How to stay healthy. How to raise healthy kids.

Aren’t those the ultimate how-to’s we all want to know? And it might all start in the kitchen. The how to might be on your dinner plate.

The Discovery Health Channel featured a fascinating five-part television series this week called The Truth About Food.

Hosted by YOU: The Owner’s Manual author Dr. Mehmet Oz viewers learned how powerful food can be to health.

In scientific studies, The Truth About Food took a look at the positive effects of the Ape Diet; raw garlic cloves as potent as Viagra; fish and dairy in reducing PMS symptoms and mood swings; investigating the sex appeal of foods claiming to possess aphrodisiac properties; eating foods rich in calcium for weight loss; tomatoes as a natural sunscreen; and more.
