    • Abstract:
      The article discusses about one delicious dinner that features 10 top healing foods. "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," advised Hippocrates several millennia ago. The phytonutrients lutein and zeaxanthin, for example, become part of the macula of the eye, where they act as internal sunglassses, helping to prevent such problems as night blindness and age-related macular degeneration. This all-star menu showcases 10 of the most healing foods — asparagus, tomatoes, wild salmon, spinach, red wine, onions, blueberries, oranges, whole grains, and nuts — incorporated into scrumptious recipes carefully crafted to make the most of both flavor and function. It's a meal that will nourish the palate as well as every cell in the body.
