ARTHRITIS: Fish have omega oils which are good for the immune system. So, Salmon, tuna and sardines can actually help prevent arthritis.

OBESITY: The idea is not just to get rid of excess fat, but to chose foods that contribute to wellness and enhance energy because the body’s intolerance or sensitivity to certain foods can contribute to certain conditions such as obesity, migraine, eczema, nausea, diarrhea, constipation etc.
A new technology has been developed to identify which foods to eat or not to eat called the YORK Test which brings relief to these symptoms.
So, before devouring large quantities of the above fruits (or foods) , you must keep in mind that people respond differently to food (tolerance).
The test is performed on a small blood sample and covers 113 food items, some of which may be the cause of your problem, and results are reported as follows:
Red : For foods to be eliminated entirely from your diet
Green: For foods to be consumed regularly
Yellow: Foods to be consumed with caution i.e. at long intervals.
