Vegetables, an ancient source of vitamins

The importance of vegetables in daily meals is not a new discovery. Primitive doctors advised patients that vegetables would help keeping a balance between the fluids of the body (blood, phlegm, choler - yellow bile, and melancholy - black bile). In Greek "melan" means "black" and "holi" means "bile", hence, "melancholy" = "black bile". Mothers encouraged children to eat up their vegetables long before anyone had heard of food science.

Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can
heal the patient with food.
