COMFORT FOOD CAN KILL YOU

Why has the profitable food industry become so lax! So often devitalized and addictive, processed ingredients, and chemicals go into food. Called “fast food” it is not healing for your body, as food should be with large servings sometimes leaving you wanting more.

Major hindrances to your health: processed sugar, corn syrup, degermed and bleached wheat, chemical sweeteners, seed oils and chemicals.

We struggle to know how to be healthy. The first thing? Go to God, pray for wisdom, and look at your available wisdom. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5. That is a promise to all of us who follow Jesus. Talking to His followers Jesus said, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth..." John 16:13. One example of real comfort food: "And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land." Isaiah 7:22.

The first place to look for food that is healing and natural is the Bible. In it is literal and figurative wisdom illustrated by food all through it. This is where I have gone. Food examples are to us and for us and would not be there if not an illustration of potent nutrition. Checking one dietitian and the next is going to lead you to change with a new “discovery.”  An example is the worldwide love for coffee. Growing up my father understood it to be harmful. Nutrition experts warned that it is harmful for your health. This year, reading an expert (recommended by one of our State Senators}, the dietitian said that three or four cups of coffee every day will prolong your life. 

We use extra virgin olive oil, organic honey, pure butter, salt, and whole grain cereal. Homemade whole grain bread. Vegetables, fruit, beef, chicken, salmon. In Scripture, food allowances changed four times and give responsibility to us. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" I Co.6:19.

God’s provision for us:  "And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food..." Genesis 2:9.  See the Medical News Today below:

Dietary patterns can have an immense impact on health outcomes. 

Ultra-processed foods that go through large amounts of processing can lose nutritional value and contain unhealthy elements.

A new study adds to a growing body of research showing that ultra-processed food consumption may cause premature, preventable death.
