Therapeutic foods are healthpromoting foods that contain an abundance of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids) to keep the body healthy and disease at bay. Certain foods have powerful medicinal and protective properties that can have a profound effect on your health. Equally, there are other foods and dietary habits that can negatively impact health and increase your risk of disease.
