Root Vegetable Latkes With Probiotic Yogurt & Sauteed Apples

One of my favorite medical foods is Parsnips! If my patients had low red blood cell levels, or low potassium or no energy I would always prescribe a food or recipe to go along with their medical diagnosis and treatment plan. Food is always the best choice for chronic disease as long as the food you are eating is from the Organic Plant Kingdom!

Greens and veggies have a super power that most people have never "tapped" into! I am not talking about a salad but more like 2-3 cups of veggies and greens at meals. Eating way more veggies than a vegetarian! That's when food works as medicine! Be your own FARMACIST! The best thing is you can control how it is grown, the soil and the water quality if you establish your own organic garden!

• Like carrots, parsnip contain "poly-acetylene" which are anti-oxidants. .
• Scientists at the U of Newcastle, Tyne reported that these compounds possess anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and anti-cancer function and may offer protection from colon cancer and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
