7 Nourishing Gifts that Prove Food is Medicine

Fast junk food makes us feel good only in that moment when we want to feel comfort and stimulation. This is not the kind of food medicine we're talking about. This isn't the kind that will regenerate your cells and fully nourish you.

We're talking about clean whole foods - sinless goodness on your plate wearing the palette of the rainbow. It doesn't have to be a boring meal. But by simply being mindful of what you put in your body, it will make food not just a cure but uplifting tonics and strengthening boosters that'll send diseases running even before they come into contact with your powerful barrier.

Here are 8 gifts for a healthier mind, body, and spirit:

1.   Healthy Gift Basket 

Fruits, vegetables, and other high-vibrational food align with the frequency of life. Processed and junk food reverberate at a very low vibrational frequency close to zero. It does instant good but long-term harm. 

This snack gift basket is your recipient's vitamins in food form. Show them how much you care by sending this healthy gift basket at their doorstep.

2.   Herb Seed Kit

Nothing's better than homegrown. And the food you've nurtured from its seed to table is the best natural medicine there is. Gift your friends and family an easy-to-assemble herb seed kit perfect for beginners and even kids.

They can put it by their window or anywhere they want to watch your gift grow.

3.   Dark Chocolate

There's this misconception that chocolate is sinful. Well, it can be if you overindulge. But with the right ingredients, it can also be a superfood high in antioxidants. 

If your recipient has a sweet tooth or just can't not-have chocolates, aim for the ones that have a high cocoa percentage. Go for 70 percent or higher as this has less sugar. The higher the number, the healthier it will be.

4.   Subscription to Peddler Journal

Global isolations have birthed home cooks and bakers. It's always rewarding to cook something delicious for yourself and your loved ones. What more if you're sure that it's good for them?

Gifting a cookbook or magazine of easy-to-make healthy, veggie, or vegan recipes is something everyone will surely enjoy.

5.   Superfood Supplements

Some say that superfoods are just one of the new-age crazes that come and go. But some go viral because they actually work. 

You can always test a product and then decide. But if you already believe in the wonders of superfoods then it's just apt to gift this wonder to your friends as well.

6.   Vegan Wine

Just like chocolates, we just need to look for the right product. Treat your recipient with a vegan wine that has cleaner ingredients, is ethically sourced, and is environmentally-friendly. Cheers to a healthier and happier heart!

7.   A Homecooked Meal Made with Love

Now, it's time to get cooking. Creating a meal from the heart and sharing it with the ones you love is incomparable. We know this feeling from eating soul food made by our moms and grandmas. It felt nourishing because the main ingredient is their immense care.

Shamans used herbs, plants, and food as medicine in the olden days. People in those times lived longer without the use of inflammatory and carcinogenic food. We can still be our own healer and prevent Big Pharma med in the long run by nourishing our loved ones with the gifts above.
