Life from Life vs. Killer Foods

Perfection - that's God's goal for all of us. He wants His best for us. But now that I've hopefully helped you see a tiny little spark of light on the subject of food and especially the difference in dead food and living food, lets go deeper with the subject so that the spark is ignited.

George Malkmus, founder of Hallelujah Acres and author of The Hallelujah Diet, Experience the Optimal Health You Were Meant to Have, explains "life from life" for us according to Genesis 1:29 in his chapter on God's Way: Living Food. He says, "Genesis 1:29 is an amazing clue from our Creator about the fuel our bodies were originally designed to use. In the Garden of Eden, God revealed that all animals - including humans - were designed to take energy directly from plant life. That was the most direct path to transferring power from pure light into a form that would sustain life itself! Just think about it - the life-force in a plant is sustained by collecting sunlight via photosynthesis. That life-force is then transferred directly to the human's physical body that consumes the plant - like a flame passed from one candle to another. This is the simple yet brilliant way God designed to pass along the life-giving energy from one living thing to another in the form of living foods." At that you can shout hallelujah!

That helps explain our Biblical perspective, physical perspective and will help explain the killer foods list we are looking at today. The foods on this list are not good for our human bodies. These so called foods do the most damage to our bodies while producing the least benefit to the body when consumed,thus killer foods. Remember we're learning what the proper foods for our body should be so with that we should also know what not to eat and we'll start here.

We've somewhat discussed the first on the list and that is ANIMAL PRODUCTS, especially meat. The average American consumes well over 100 grams of protein a day, which is three to four times the amount nutritionists say is necessary. Again I quote from Dr. Malkmus, "Animal products are currently the cause of up to 90 percent of all physical problems experienced by people. The average person who consumes animal products puts into their body some 100 pounds of fat in one year... If you eliminate animal products from your diet, you eliminate the risk of experiencing a heart attack by 90 percent. If you don't consume animal products and you don't smoke, you reduce your risk of cancer almost completely." Now that's something to adhere to in our day and age, don't you think? I say this about your meat especially for those who say they can't give it up or that it's too hard to give up (which is really saying you don't want to give it up); eat your meat but take a clue here and don't eat 10 or 20 ounces of it a day, stick to the 2 to 4 ounces that are recommended! For some reason we tend to overdue everything and make it so complex in our lives as Americans. Lighten up, take a load off, eat less! However, just to let you know, I did give up meat about three years ago and I don't miss it at all and my body enjoys being healthier!

The hard part regarding animal products is not only your meat, but think about what else we eat that comes from animals... eggs, milk, cheese. Dairy products are just as dangerous to the body as meat. Take cow milk for example. did God intend for humans to be raised on cow milk? No. He gave women the milk they would need for nutritional needs of their babies. Cow milk was meant for baby cows. Our Creator has designed the proper fuel for every one of his species and their newborn offspring. There may be exceptions to the rule at times but not all the time. Cow milk is not designed to be food for humans. Get this, one egg yoke has the cholesterol of a whole pound of beef! Imagine that. And we wonder why we're getting fatter and less healthy. Dairy, cheese, and eggs will also cause physical problems in your body.

The rest of our killer foods list will include such things as processed foods, white sugar, white table salt, white flour, and caffeine. We'll get to those one at a time.

Today think on this, in fact, write it down on a piece of paper and tape it up somewhere where you can meditate on it daily:

Living Food= Living Fuel = Living Cells = Healthy Body
I can't prosper and be in good health without the proper fuel placed in my body!

Here's to your health!
