Around 1600, Paracelsus, a Swiss philosopher and alchemist, today considered the precursor of modern chemistry, formulate a hypothesis according to which each plant, every fruit existing in nature, had been created to cure our organism, given the similarity of each of them with parts of our body. Lets find how shape of Food Defines its Function
This philosophy was very successful until, coming to modern times, thanks to consumerism, they made us believe that we need other things to feed us, obtaining only the result of increasing a series of pathologies affecting all our organs: from the diabetes, hypertension, colitis, and the list could go on to the most diverse forms of cancer.
Today, science has re-evaluated that ancient hypothesis and several studies have confirmed the healing properties of many foods.
