January 17, 2011

18 months of being on the "Ten Commandments of Health". That was my goal in the beginning - 18 months - and I made it. Yippee! God has been sooo good to me and has helped me all the way. Never did I think I could eat the right way after being addicted to chocolate and pop. The bible says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" oh so true!

Fibromyalgia

A friend of mine was on the vegan diet all last week and in church yesterday she announced that her pain from her fibromyalgia was significantly better. What a great testimony. I truly believe the doctors would be looking for other jobs if we would all eat right.

And while we are on the subject of the vegan diet I just have to say that I for some reason don't like that word. "Vegan" Anyway that word means eating no animal products. No meat, eggs, milk, cheese, etc. Why would we want to eat something that has so much antibotics, growth hormones and who knows what else in it. Not me!

Class on Cancer/Healthy Eating

We had a class at my house last week about healthy eating. We watched the DVD "You Can't Improve on God", ate some delicious food (healthy) :) and had some good discussions. I am going to have these classes often, until everyone that wants to see them can do so.

We discussed meat and how it is all pumped full of antibiotics, growth hormones and the food (if you can call it that) that the animals eat. How we all need to read the ingredients and stay away from all the processed foods. There are genetically made organisms that are in our food and FDA doesn't make the makers list it as an ingredient. So sad and maddening.

Why will one out of every two people get cancer? What are we eating? Are the foods going in your body - veggies, fruits, seeds, nuts and grains? Or are you eating more fast food, cocoa puffs, meat and so on? Change before you are the one who gets the cancer.

Great Way to Start the Day

Jesus is stepping into this day to face it with me. Follow Him in His steps, hear His voice, obeying every step and turn He would take. Follow Him - do not lead. At the end of the day reflect on what difference this thinking made in the way you lived the day.

Why Juicing?

I am asked quite often "why juice the carrots instead of just eating them?". The answer to that is found in the book "Gods Way to Ultimate Health".

The advantage in juicing raw vegetables is that when the juice is separated from the fiber, the great majority of nutrients stay in the juice.. because the fiber has been removed, these fresh, living nutrients in the juice can get into the bloodstream and to the cellular level in minutes, without the time-consuming and energy-depleting process of digestion.
