The bottom line
“Food as medicine” may be an emerging concept in the Western world, but many cultures around the globe have long recognized the role of diet in health.

Various healthy diets high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, lean protein, and low-fat dairy could reduce the risk associated with the development of chronic diseases, including heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.

However, “food as medicine” is not a cure for all and should be used in conjunction with appropriate medical treatment.

Cost-effective
The prevalence of chronic diseases has increased worldwide, along with associated healthcare costs.

In 2010, an estimated 86%Trusted Source — over $400 billion — of healthcare costs in the U.S. alone were due to treating patients with at least one chronic disease. These costs are shared between public resources and patients’ out-of-pocket expenses.

Using “food as medicine” could conceivably reduce healthcare costs by potentially reducing disease severity through better labwork, fewer medications, and fewer hospitalizations.

However, the issues and policies surrounding food apartheid and accessTrusted Source to healthful foods among low-income communities across the U.S. that support improved health and lower healthcare costs must continually be addressed.
