Indigenous Healing Foods from Around the World

Every region of the globe offers us natural healing. Organized by region, the following fruits and vegetables offer record levels of vitamins and high-potency, cancer-healing compounds. When people ate food provided by the Earth without tampering with it, there were fewer cases of cancer. Many globally-oriented organizations are concerned about the nature of the food supply, salvaging its positive elements, and sustaining the Earth’s original genetic resources—both for the sake of biodiversity and for the chemistry of different crop variations. In a blog article about indigenous fruits and vegetables, Ellen Gustafson, founder of Food Tank, a think tank on food issues, and her team, compiled 25 of the best. [i] In addition to the Food Tank blog, my research led me to a list of indigenous plants compiled by Kathryn Gorman-Lovelady, an aboriginal medicine woman who resides in Canada.[ii]

In my opinion, it’s more powerful to eat cancer-healing foods farmed in your local area. One of the reasons why is that their nutrients are intact because they haven’t been shipped halfway across the world to reach you, been refrigerated or frozen, gone through a high-altitude flight, radiation from security screening, and so on. Source out what cancer fighting foods are grown locally to you because they do strengthen the immune system.
