Healthy Food for Healthy Life

Here are the good foods for healthy lives. I collected these from all kinds of sources, and some are scientifically proven to work, but some are not proven. Do not think of the foods here as alternative choice to hospital or medicinal care. You should consult your doctor first when you are sick. 

I would like to say that anything too much is poisonous, but anything little by little everyday is healthy. A good example of this is alcoholic beverage. Koreans call a cup of rice wine a day “a medicinal drink (Yak Joo).?amp;nbsp;
