Hello Kings and Queens, I’m The Billionaire Doctor, and today we’re talking about good food — what I call the fourth wonder of health. In my years of medical practice here in Lagos, Nigeria, I’ve seen firsthand how what you eat directly determines how healthy or sick you become.
Your health cannot be separated from your food. And remember — just because food is expensive doesn’t mean it’s healthy. True health starts with understanding what good food really means and how it affects your body.
What Makes Good Food?
Through my medical practice and research — including running a public kitchen experiment — we discovered something very simple yet profound:A man’s health is directly linked to the health of his food. When we studied the eating habits of hundreds of patients suffering from chronic diseases, we noticed one powerful connection — unhealthy food equals poor health.
Below are our findings and key insights that could change how you eat forever.
1. Modern Food Additives Are Slowly Harming Your Health
Diseases like arthritis, hypertension, hormonal imbalance, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), stroke, diabetes, and heart attacks are not just random occurrences. Most are directly linked to the additives, preservatives, and artificial spices in our daily meals. If your food is full of flavor enhancers, artificial colors, or packaged seasonings, you’re feeding your body with toxins disguised as taste.
2. Corn and GMO Foods – Hidden Health Risks
Corn is one of the earliest genetically modified crops, and sadly, it has found its way into almost everything — from cereals to snacks and animal feed. My advice? Let go of corn and all corn-based products. Your health will thank you for it. Choosing non-GMO, natural alternatives is one of the best decisions you can make for long-term wellness.
3. The Power of Salt and Palm Oil
Contrary to popular opinion, salt and palm oil are essential in maintaining good human health — when consumed in moderation. Many so-called “health experts” have demonized these natural ingredients under the guise of propaganda, climate change, and deforestation. But traditional palm oil and sea salt, when used correctly, contain valuable nutrients and antioxidants your body needs.
4. Soft Food Equals Soft Health
Here’s a principle I live by: “Soft food is soft health.” Your food must be well-cooked and easily digestible. Undercooked or tough meals can lead to constipation, indigestion, bloating, or even bleeding during bowel movements.
Take your time to cook your meals properly — your stomach and intestines will reward you for it.
5. Beware of Substitutes Like Locust Beans
Even though locust beans (iru) are considered “natural,” they’re not always ideal substitutes for salt. They’re high in carbohydrates and fat, which can upset the balance your body needs. Moderation is key.
How to Identify Good Food
Here are the essential qualities of a good, healthy meal you should always remember:
-
Natural and Unprocessed: Choose foods that are not genetically modified (non-GMO). -
Fresh and Hygienic: Your food should be freshly prepared, not stored for days or weeks.
-
No Preservatives or Additives: Avoid artificial seasonings or packaged flavorings.
-
Cooked with Natural Ingredients: Use tomatoes, ginger, garlic, onions, and palm oil for that rich natural umami taste.
-
Avoid Frozen or Processed Meat: When you buy only chicken wings or thighs, ask yourself — where are the other parts? How long has it been frozen? Choose freshly killed or freshly cooked meals.
-
Easily Digestible: Food that sits heavily in your stomach isn’t helping your health — it’s harming it.
Listen to Your Body
Your body communicates with you every day. Pay attention to how you feel after each meal — sluggish, bloated, energetic, or light? These reactions are your body’s way of telling you what it loves and what it rejects. Remember, you are what you eat. If you nourish your body with natural, healthy food, it will return the favor with energy, vitality, and longevity.
A healthy life starts from the plate in front of you. Don’t wait for illness to remind you how powerful good food is. Eat natural, fresh, unprocessed meals — and you’ll stay far away from the doctor’s office.
Thank you for reading, Kings and Queens.
