Food as Medicine: Qur'anic Nutrition

By Cheryl Abraham and John Abraham

In an age of industrialized diets, chronic illness, and growing confusion about what truly nourishes the human body, Food as Medicine: Qur'anic Nutrition and Natural Healing Confirmed by Science offers a grounded and evidence-based return to nature's most reliable provisions.

This book explores a powerful convergence: the foods explicitly referenced in the Qur'an and the growing body of modern scientific research confirming their profound benefits for human health. Without relying on speculation or folklore, each chapter begins with Qur'anic verses addressing nourishment, balance, and restraint, then examines peer-reviewed research on inflammation, metabolic health, cardiovascular function, immune resilience, neurological protection, and disease prevention.

Dates, olives and olive oil, figs, pomegranates, honey, milk, fish, grains, herbs, fasting, and water are not presented as symbolic metaphors, but as biologically active foods whose benefits are increasingly validated by modern nutrition science. The book explains why these foods support the human body at the cellular level, how they influence hormones, blood vessels, the gut microbiome, the brain, and immune signaling, and how they contrast sharply with modern ultra-processed diets.

Beyond food, the book addresses the wider health crisis created by synthetic additives, industrial processing, environmental toxins, and lifestyle patterns that conflict with human biology. It examines the rise of chronic disease, metabolic dysfunction, mental distress, and immune fragility, offering natural, evidence-based alternatives rooted in moderation, fasting, hydration, and whole-food nourishment.
