Escalate All Foods to Medicine

In this time of COVID-19, all foods and drinks must be escalated to the level of the most efficacious medicine.

I raised this simple sandwich to the level of medicinal efficacy when I added organic turmeric, garlic, and ginger. 

In addition, I revved up the protein to what I call “high octane.” Anytime my meal contains three items with a protein content of at least 6 grams, I call it a high-octane meal. 

For anyone over 40, a high-protein/high-octane meal is necessary. 

For this sandwich:

One cage-free, organic, boiled brown egg = 6 g

One can of tuna in water = 20 g

One-fourth cup Mozzarella cheese = 7 g

Two shakes of turmeric (1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon)

One clove of garlic (chopped to fine/tiny cubes)

One shake of ginger (1/4 of a teaspoon)

I washed it down with orange-lemon juice and hot ginger-turmeric-lemon tea.
