Food as Medicine

Eat your food
as your medicines.
Otherwise
you have to
eat medicines
as your food

There is a concept in the southernmost part of India, Tamilnadu 
"uNavE marundhu. marundhE uNavu."
This translates into English as "Food is medicine and medicine is food."

What the cryptic message conveys is that if you pay attention to what you eat keeping your health in mind, you will eat only what is good for your body. The food you choose  to eat will ensure that you don't get health problems and you can obviate the need for taking medicine to cure some malady.
