3.Your Introduction Paragraph Draft: Food can be power full cure. Good nutritious helps promote health and prevent and treat disease. Nutritious foods, including vegetables, fruits, beans, agrain, boast numerous beneficial compounds such as antioxidants. Food can definitely be medicine, too frequently though, the power of healthful eating is under-recognized or under-applied. Guidance related to food is not often part of a physician’s collections. Food cannot be medicine when it is not available to patients ( Lucan 2018) At the clinic where I now see patients we have tried a fruit-and-vegetable-Rx program, an approach that has been used elsewhere across the country and that is gaining traction (Buyuktuncer et al., 2014; Wholesome Wave, 2017).
- Your Argument Plan
Claim: “When you prioritize food and teach people how to prepare healthy meals, lo and behold, it can end up being more impactful than medications themselves.” (Park, 2019)
Grounds, Warrant, and Backing: The authors did a great job of connecting evidence to the main point. He used several sources that I understand may be valid.The power of food as medicine gained scientific credibility in 2002 when the U.S. government released results of a study that pitted a diet and exercise program against a drug treatment for Type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program compared people assigned to a diet low in saturated fat, sugar, and salt that included lean protein and fresh fruits and vegetables with people assigned to take metformin to lower blood sugar. Among people at high risk of developing diabetes, those taking metformin lowered their risk of actually getting diabetes by 31% compared with those taking a placebo, while those who modified their diet and exercise regularly lowered their risk by 58% compared with those who didn’t change their behaviors, a near doubling in risk reduction. (Park, 2019 P.2)
First quotation or paraphrase from a source with full APA in-text citation:
I first came to recognize the role of food in health by elective course in college. In the course, I well informed that we really are what we eat in the basic sense. Food enhance our flesh and bone, our bodies and brains, our fluids, our nerve cell which transmits an impulse’s and all the rest. ( Lucan 2018)
According to Mikion Nishizawa, “The studies using cells and animals will provide a basis for the safe and effective use of functional foods and Kampo medicine in humans to treat diseases or improve health conditions.”(2019, P. 1)
Kampo medicine and functional foods are prepared from foods and edible plants for example herbs, vegetables, and fruits. These types of food have beneficial effects foe human, and many anti-inflammatory effects. So, there is so many ways we can use food as a cure.Although many foods have strong disease-fighting benefits, diet should not be considered a replacement for conventional medicine. (kubala 2019)
Second quotation or paraphrase from a source with full APA in-text citation:
Simply transitioning to a diet rich in whole foods like fruits and vegetables is the simplest way to reap the medicinal benefits of food. (kubala 2019)
Berries, cruciferous vegetables, fatty fish, and mushrooms are just a selection of the foods that offer powerful medicinal properties.Nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil, honey, seaweed, and fermented foods are just a few of the many other foods studied for their medicinal properties as well.
Counterclaim: Due to the relatively low content ofa pharmacologically active constituents in functional foods, their effectiveness has not been well evaluated and thus should be better investigated. (Mikion, Tadayoshi & Yukinobu 2019 p1)
There is no proper studied and pharmacologically approved that shows food have good effects as a medicine. Still no proper studies that prove food can replace medicine or food can cure disease as medicine do.
Rebuttal: What can you say, using logic and/or evidence, that will effectively refute the above counterclaim?
But the sparse-to-nonexistent nature of nutrition education for many, if not most, physicians in training is frankly astounding. After all, dietary intake ranks near the top of factors that affect human health, and patients—often confused by seeming controversies in both traditional and social media—want guidance. “Brown bread is healthy, right?” (Lucan 2019 P 2)
