READING: Vogue "Force of nature" by Ginny Graves

I picked up a copy of Vogue at the airport recently and was thrilled to discover an article about Dr. Daphne Miller. Miller is a San Francisco based doctor who is/has been researching the health properties of diet and how food can be medicine. She has published a book entitle The Jungle Effect and is working on a second. MIller is part of the so called "food as medicine movement." Upon reading the article I am very much looking forward to picking up a copy and learning more!

Great tips from the article include:
feeling congested and under the weather?
try mushroom and ginger soup- ginger decongests while mushrooms are great for your immune system.

depressed?
try a diet with more omega-3 rich foods.

Worried about breast cancer?
include more sea weed in your diet, like the Okinawan's who have a long life expectancy and a lower rate of breast cancer.
