“Food is your medicine and medicine is your food” is one of the well-known quotes from Hippocrates, the father of Medicine. However, the meaning of the above statement is not as simple as we think. Certainly, by choosing the right foods in our daily lives, such as nuts, seasonal fruits, and vegetables, free from fertilizers and toxins, superfoods like sprouts, wheatgrass, and foods with high nutritional value and vitamins, we can avoid or even confront many diseases. But is this enough to ensure health and longevity?

The magazine HEALTH WELLNESS has been published for many years with the slogan “KNOWLEDGE IS ALLY” and indeed it is the perfect ally for understanding disease, discovering the secrets of health, and is a partner in anti-aging, longevity, and holistic health. We poison our bodies daily through the nutrition that the powerful food industry “imposes” on us, but also through the air we breathe, the stress created by modern life, and the plethora of “cures for every ailment” medications.

This book is a culmination of selected articles from the magazine HEALTH WELLNESS. A long-term research and writing effort that spans over a decade by the scientific team of the magazine and several collaborators, and I have the honor to capture it in this multi-dimensional edition. Hippocrates taught prevention and treatment through nutrition 2500 years ago. This publication hopes, even in the slightest, to introduce you to its secrets and help you conquer the knowledge of prevention for health, wellness, and longevity.
