Let your food be your medicine

or your medicine will become your food.

 

So said Hippocrates (maybe). I tend to agree.

Enough of lolling around feeling crook - time to make something nourishing; so here it is.

 

In the slow cooker:

 

Cooking bacon - choline (brain function, memory) and more

Mushrooms - protect the gut, brain, immune system ...

Red potatoes (sliced) - potassium (heart), B6 (stress), C, fiber ...

Onions - lower cholestorol, antioxidants, C, K, Allicin ...

Tomato pulp - all of the above, eye health, prostate health, heart ...

Apple - all the above, more quercetin (brain health)

Lemon - all above, and help reduce the chance of kidney stones

Brussels sprouts - all the above, and folate (red cell health)

Garlic - joint health, anti viral, anti bacterial, anti inflammatory

Bell pepper - all the above, lutein (eye health), A, C

Salt and pepper - a bit improves taste, improves immune system, metabolism, and heaps more beside

Vegetable stock - vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory, all of the above

Ginger - pain relief, heart health, digestion, insulin regulation ...

 

I'm putting this on at the low setting overnight. It took longer to write this than do the prep. Hopefully it will taste half decent!
