God's Path to Disease-Free Living - What the Scriptures Tell Us About Health (ePub)

Jesus speaks of the body as being the living temple of God and refers to His own body as a temple. His words are misunderstood, as was much of His message to those who lived in those times. The Bible states that health and wellness are found with God. If your body is full of disease, it is because of the choices you have made. All disease comes from our diet. Our genes have nothing to do with whether we get sick or not. Disease does not run in our families due to genetics but rather dietary habits that tend to lead to many of the same diseases.

If we want to be healthy, we must hydrate, alkalize, and detoxify (HAD) our bodies, which creates an environment of health within the body. Alkaline Ionized Water is an antioxidant produced by electrolysis that Hydrates, Alkalizes, and Detoxifies the body when consumed. Alkaline Ionized Water is the healthiest substance we can put in the body because there is nothing better for us than water and there is no better water than ionized water.Spirulina and chlorella, two types of algae, are the healthiest, most powerful foods on earth. They have the broadest array of nutrients and are the most nutrient dense of any whole foods. They are 60 percent protein and are what we should use for our protein instead of animal protein (meat, fish, eggs, and dairy).

Living foods (raw, uncooked, unprocessed fruits and vegetables) should be consumed because they also hydrate, alkalize, and detoxify the body. Living foods are filled with enzymes, which only God is capable of creating. Everything we do as humans, whether we think, walk, talk, blink, etc., is the result of enzymatic reactions. Yet we constantly put cooked and processed foods in our bodies that are void of enzymes. The reason we eat cooked foods is because we like their taste and we are under the mistaken impression that they are healthy for us when in fact they are not. Cooked foods should be considered an addiction because they are not healthy for us, yet most of us cannot stop consuming them. We must create new traditions with our friends and family that revolve around living foods that are created by God and have not had their invaluable nutrients destroyed by cooking and/or processing.

Probiotics are the friendly bacteria we require to break down and absorb the nutrients we consume each day. They create vitamins in the body and help keep the digestive tract clean.

Mineral depletion in the soil over the last hundred years has necessitated the use of mineral supplements to compensate for the loss of their availability in our diet. Minerals are the keys that start the engine of our health. They give the body conductivity, which is critical for human life. Nearly all bodily processes are dependent upon certain minerals for them to take place.

We must exercise vigorously each day if we expect to be healthy. Exercise builds the body's immune system in ways that nutrients cannot. It helps keep our blood and organs cleansed and well oxygenated.

We also must maintain a positive mental attitude if we wish to be healthy. We should strive to have a meaningful relationship with God, which will be greatly enhanced when we honor the temple He has given us, that which we call our body. To accomplish this, we must learn to embrace the sacred principles of wisdom, knowledge, healing, and faith if we expect to truly honor the temple God has given us. This is the only path to disease-free living.
