Prosperity Choices

Best selling Author of the Bible Cure Series, Don Colbert, M.D. says in his book Toxic Relief, "Our prosperity as a nation has come at a price for Americans. After years of overeating and overindulgence, we are experiencing an epidemic of degenerative diseases... We didn't always eat this way. Former generations were some of the healthiest on the planet. As an agrarian culture, many of our grandparents lived much closer to the land. But today, our lifestyle is much too stressed and fast-paced, and as a result our diet suffers." He also says, "We may be actually starving from a nutritional standpoint while at the same time becoming grossly obese. The end result of this merciless abuse of our bodies is disease and death. Sadly, we really are digging our graves with our forks and knives! As a result of our overindulgences we have an epidemic of heart disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, allergies, obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis and a host of other painful and debilitating degenerative diseases."

We are eating too much of the wrong stuff and although we are obese in our size we are starving our body of what it needs! Junk food doesn't hake it. A multivitamin or any supplement won't do it alone. We can't continue to eat the way we do with our Standard American Diet (SAD), which is a fallacy for the most part, or live on junk food and pills and think we're going to live long and healthy! Well, you may think that way, but you are ignoring the truth of the matter completely and deceiving yourself! You can't eat the way you want. You must learn to eat to live and not live to eat! Stop overeating. Stop choosing wrong foods. Stop the sugar, the fats, and the processed foods and begin to treat yourself and your body properly. Give your body the nourishment it needs to truly live long and healthy!

Stop and think about how you eat and make the positive changes today. Change the way you think about food and health; think differently about how you treat your body! Why are you eating? Eating is not a recreation. Eating is a necessity. Begin to eat for your health's sake! When you do there will be a great change. It won't happen overnight, but with your stick-to-it-iveness it will happen. Detox is part of the change. Juicing is a part of that change. Fasting becomes a way of life. There's more on the horizon of this adventure so I encourage you to keep committed. Remember to look for help in the Lord. He is your strength. There's life in the blood!

"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank..." - Daniel 1:8

Here's to your health!
