“Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” Imagine if only a substantial number of the world’s population heed Hippocrates’ age-old advice. Hospital admissions would have gone down, lifestyle-related diseases and premature deaths avoided. But it’s never too late to turn a new leaf when it comes to healthy eating. And, in these trying times, when a trip to the hospital is the last thing you would want to do, it pays to prioritize nutrition and make it part of a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Kaycee Reyes of Luminisce Clinics shares healthy “eats” that she curated over the years for her family and patients. It was only a matter of time before the wellness expert and health advocate was able to create an array of foods and market them under the brandname Innosense Organics. Each product was selected to help the consumer achieve an anti-inflammatory diet.
A diet to live for
“The anti-inflammatory diet is a way to re-evaluate how we’ve been eating and it brings attention to our food choices and our lifestyle. I like to call this particular diet as a reset because it is like taking a pause from the stresses of our everyday life. As a result, we become more mindful of what we consume,” says Kaycee.
The immune system, she adds, becomes activated when your body recognizes anything that is foreign. That includes invading microbe, plant pollen, or chemicals. It often triggers a process called inflammation, which protects the body from these invaders. When the inflammation becomes chronic, it may cause major diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression and Alzheimer’s. Some of these conditions are linked as comorbidities for COVID19.
Inflammation can affect your body’s overall performance. Indulging too much in inflammation-causing foods (such as sugar-sweetened beverages, red and processed meats, shortenings like margarine and lard) can cause skin aging.
On the other hand, foods that are rich in antioxidants and polyphenols such as fruits and leafy green vegetables can protect against inflammation. These are found in each food item of Innosense Organics.
Kaycee admits that while it is a struggle to eat the best food for your body when everyone is worried about the pandemic, the situation also reminds us of that we are blessed to live in a country that grows fresh produce like turmeric, ginger, and garlic—the biggest contributors in our quest to eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
Innosense Organics offers artisanal granola (P170), free-range turkey broth (P980), chicken broth (P699), free-range chicken nuggets (P580), turkey balls (P480), and turkey patties (P1,480) which are all pure organic. These are best paired with pure organic cauliflower rice (P100). For healthy beverages, which are made fresh daily, try the red juice (beets, apple, ginger, lemon, carrots, and cucumber); green juice (kale, spinach, cucumber, lemon, red grapes, ginger, celery, and apple); and yellow juice (pineapple, yellow bell pepper, lemon, ginger, wild honey) at P420 per bottle.

“The body is best protected from life-threatening diseases when it is nourished properly with a well-balanced diet,” Kaycee advices.
