Healthy Eating Tips: Test Your Food I.Q.

Read More About Health

Healthy eating tips include more than just avoiding "bad" foods.

Did you know that some medical and scientific studies have shown that adding certain foods to your diet may help to prevent or ease certain medical conditions?

Of course, this isn't a prescription to start treating your illnesses and medical conditions with food. You should always see a doctor for medical advice and proper diagnosis before starting any treatment plan.

But you may want to discuss with your doctor if he or she thinks that eating certain foods may help you (or at least, not hurt you).
