Life is in the Blood

This excerpt is from GREATER HEALTH GOD'S WAY, by Stormie Omartian, page 69-70:

"We have sixty trillion cells in our bodies. (I don't know who counted them.) Every cell lives for a limited time before it reproduces itself and dies. Every three months we get a new bloodstream, every eleven months each cell in our body has been renewed, and every two years we get a new bone structure. Do you realize that by eating correctly for approximately two years, you could have a whole new body? I don't mean that you could all of a sudden look like someone else, but you could certainly be a totally new you. Isn't that encouraging?"

"The idea behind good health is to keep your blood clean through proper foods, plus exercise, plenty of water, fasting and prayer, fresh air and sunshine, and peaceful, stress-free living. Eating food the way God make it affects the blood by cleansing it from impurities and by supplying it with all the nutrients necessary to rebuild cells. The Lord's way of eating will keep your blood clean and healthy, and this will automatically protect you from infection. A dirty bloodstream is the main cause of illness and premature aging. When the bloodstream is pure and alkaline, it will dissolve all poisons and carry them away. Disease cannot live in a clean bloodstream. Disease breeds in a dirty bloodstream."

"Keeping the bloodstream clean, and the body healthy, requires personal discipline. You must supervise what goes into your stomach. How are you feeding your sixty trillion cells? Are they being fed food that has no vitamins, minerals, or digestive enzymes? Are they being fed food that is so devitalized that your body has to spend precious energy just trying to rid itself of poisonous wastes and repair the damage that your food has done?"

Eat for your body's health! Eat to live! Learn to discipline yourself and eat right foods that fuel your body. Listen to your body; it is talking to you. It is starved for nutritional foods! Without proper fuel for the body the bloodstream becomes dirty and you become unhealthy. Choose life - life is in the blood!

Here's to your health!
