Virtually every professional society globally now endorses a plant-forward diet that is lower in fat and processed foods as key components of disease prevention and health promotion. It is characterized by whole grain foods, and predominantly made of fresh foods. With healthcare expenditures at record levels across the globe, implementing a treatment plan that has larger magnitude health improvements than nearly any known medicine, that is extremely inexpensive, and has the power to not only improve human health but also planetary health is critical. That plan is Food is Medicine (FIM) which will be explored in this manuscript.
实际上，现在全球几乎每个专业学会都支持以植物为主的饮食，这种饮食的特点是脂肪和加工食品含量低，全谷物食物和大量新鲜食品为主，是疾病预防和促进健康的关键组成部分。在全球医疗支出创历史新高的情况下，实施一种治疗方案比几乎所有已知药物都能带来更大程度的健康改善，而且极其廉价，不仅能改善人类健康，还能改善地球健康，这一点至关重要。该方案被称为“食物是药物（Food is Medicine，FIM）”，本文将对此进行探讨。
