We use a variety of gear to prevent injury. A motorcyclist wears glasses and a helmet to protect their eyes and head. Construction workers wear steel-toe shoes and hard hats. Potholders are used in the kitchen to grab something hot. What is needed within our bodies to protect us from disease?
Plants. Yes, that’s correct. Amazingly, nature has built into plants the ability for them to produce compounds for them to fight disease. When we eat the plants – vegetables and fruits – the same plant compounds fight disease in us.
