Eating Whole Foods instead of taking supplements as pills. Have a whole foods salad instead of a pill salad. The new term for it is:

Anti-Inflammatory Nutrient Synergy

Growing up, even our doctor at Kaiser said it is far better to get our nutrients from whole foods.
In Chinese Medicine, the philosophy is whole foods have the whole energy of the food.
This is why we eat the whole vegetable, whole duck and whole fish... at least in this country the idea is to cook the whole food as a whole food.
In western terms, cook the whole salmon or whole chicken with the bones, so that the calcium is imported to the whole rest of the fish or chicken meat that you will eat.
I was excited to find this article by Dr. Michael Gregor MD that reminds of us this way of nuturing our bodies to health and well being.
