“There are illnesses that can only be treated by nutrition”.      -  Hippocrates

I’ve always been fascinated with the natural benefits and curative properties of food: nude food, food at it’s natural and pure state. I’ve collected many tips and many books that I will summarize for you in the series, Nude Food: Foods That Heal.

A is for Apple

• Anemia - drink fresh apple juice daily half an hour before meals and just before bed
• Cholesterol- two apples a day can reduce cholesterol levels by up to 10 percent
• Constipation & Diarrhea - eat two raw apples a day for constipation; for diarrhea, eat cooked/baked apples or grated apple mixed with live yogurt
• Dental Health - apples have a mouth cleansing property no other fruit possesses with acid that works as an antiseptic to the germs
• Digestive Health - for indigestion, heartburn, and other disorders, eat an apple with meals
• Feeling Faint- crunch an apple when starting to feel faint
• Headache - eat a ripe apple with a little salt every morning on an empty stomach for a week to relieve chronic headaches
• Gout & Rheumatism- eat regularly as a detoxificant or drink up to 1kg daily
• Pollution - binds to toxins in the body and carries them out
• Sprains - raw, peeled, and graded apples can be used as a poultice
• Viruses - eat an apple, or drink a glass of apple juice three times a day to prevent the virus from settling or to shorten the virus duration
