Let Food be Thy Medicine

Season 5 Episode 501 | 26m 46s

Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." Diane embraces this philosophy, focusing on food as the foundation for health. The concept of food as medicine and the use of key Greek ingredients—like olive oil, herbs, nuts, and vegetables—promote good health. Diane also shares three simple, healthy recipes and chats with Dr. William Li, author of "Eat to Beat Disease."
