One of the underestimated ways of solving health-related problems is diet. Sometimes healing is dependent on what you eat and not the drugs you take, and to some extent, these drugs, if needed, only work if you eat the right food.
Various health problems and their corresponding beneficial food
- Weak bones
- Acne
- Anemia
- Stress
- Cold/flu
WEAK BONES MILK
TAKE
Milk contains essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and Vitamin D, which are best for building strong bones. People think it’s only for children, but adults are advised to continue taking their milk too, to maintain their strong bones and strengthen weak bones as well.
ACNE GARLIC
TAKE
Garlic has been proven to cure acne most of the time. It contains active ingredients like allicin, diallyl disulfide, and sulfur, which have bacterial anti-inflammatory properties and reduce redness in prone areas. It is advised to include more of it in your diet, or even one clove per day could work the magic. The baseline is that garlic can reduce and even prevent acne.
ANEMIA SPINACH
TAKE 
Spinach should be your best friend, which should be included in almost every food, if possible, if you happen to suffer from anemia (a condition where your body does not have enough healthy red blood cells). Spinach, a nutrient-dense green leafy vegetable, has the necessary nutrients required to solve such problems.
STRESS DARK CHOCOLATE
TAKE 
Dark chocolate reduces stress by increasing serotonin and dopamine levels, lowering cortisol, and providing antioxidants like polyphenols and flavonoids that support brain health. These compounds positively impact the body’s stress response system and may even benefit mood through the gut-brain connection.
COLD /FLU GINGER TEA
TAKE
Ginger tea’s potent combination of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties makes it an effective remedy for relieving cold and flu symptoms, including sore throats, congestion, muscle pain, and nausea. Simply simmer fresh ginger root in hot water, then enhance the tea with a squeeze of lemon for added vitamin C and a drizzle of honey to calm a sore throat.
