If you suffer from diarrhoea, depression, skin problems,  you should consider sticking to organic foods as so much other food today is covered in chemicals. Most "old knowledge" -- as outlined below -- came from the past before chemical sprays reduced healthy sweat.... Changing my diet changed my Life style to great benefit (Ed).
HEADACHE? EAT FISH!
Eat plenty of fish -- fish oil helps prevent headaches. So does ginger, which reduces inflammation and pain.
HAY FEVER? EAT YOGURT!
Eat lots of yogurt before pollen season. Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily.
TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK Green TEA!
Prevent build-up of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea. (actually, tea suppresses my appetite and keeps the pounds from invading....Green tea is great for our immune system)!
INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP?) HONEY!!!
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.
ASTHMA? EAT ONIONS!!!
Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes.
ARTHRITIS? EAT FISH, TOO!!!
Salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines actually prevent arthritis. (fish has omega oils, good for our immune system)
UPSET STOMACH? ORGANIC BANANAS - GINGER!!!
ORGANIC Bananas will settle an upset stomach. Bananas are covered in chemicals if not organic.
Ginger will cure morning sickness and nausea. Ginger is also good for indigestion.
BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
BONE PROBLEMS? EAT PINEAPPLE!!!
Bone fractures and osteoporosis can be prevented by the manganese in pineapple.
PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME? EAT CORNFLAKES!!!
Women can ward off the effects of PMS with cornflakes, which help reduce depression, anxiety and fatigue. Again, be careful that no chemicals are used in the oats.
MEMORY PROBLEMS? EAT OYSTERS!!!
Oysters help improve your mental functioning by supplying much-needed zinc.
COLDS? EAT GARLIC!!!
Clear up that stuffy head with garlic. (remember, garlic
lowers cholesterol, too.)
COUGHING? USE RED PEPPERS AND ORGANIC BANANAS
A substance similar to that found in the cough syrups is found in hot red pepper. Use red (cayenne) pepper with caution-it can irritate your tummy.
BREAST CANCER? EAT organic wheat, bran and cabbage!!!
Helps to maintain estrogen at healthy levels.

LUNG CANCER? EAT DARK GREEN AND ORANGE VEGGIES!!!
A good antidote is beta carotene, a form of Vitamin A found in dark green and orange vegetables.
ULCERS? EAT CABBAGE ALSO!!!
Cabbage contains chemicals that help heal both gastric and
duodenal ulcers.
DIARRHOEA? EAT APPLES!!!
Grate an apple with its skin, let it turn brown and eat it to cure this condition. (Bananas are good for this ailment)
CLOGGED ARTERIES? EAT AVOCADO!!!
Mono unsaturated fat in avocados lowers cholesterol.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? EAT CELERY AND OLIVE OIL!!!
Olive oil has been shown to lower blood pressure. Celery contains a chemical that lowers pressure too
BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCE? EAT BROCCOLI AND PEANUTS!!!
The chromium in broccoli and peanuts helps regulate insulin and blood sugar.
