You are what you eat
What is a Healthy Diet?A healthy diet is one which provides all known nutrients and low levels of food components which are detrimental to health, such as sugar, saturated fats, cholesterol, salt, preservatives, colorings and additives. A healthy diet is rich in whole "natural" and unprocesed foods, and very high in plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes/pulses, seeds, and nuts.

Guidlines for Optimal Nutrition
1. Eat foods as close as possible to their natural state and as fresh as possible
2. Eat a large variety of foods, especially those that are in season.
3. Always wash fruits and vegetables before eating
4. Eat fresh, high quality foods, including organic unprocessed foods.
5. Use cooking methods that retain the nutrients in the food: pressure cooker
6. Grilling, steaming, baking, stir frying and eating some foods raw are healthier choices thatn deep frying and boiling.
7. Eat more fibre found in whole grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and fruit.
8. Decrease saturated animal fat consumption because they have concentrated toxins.
9. Avoid old nuts, grains and seeds because mould can grow which ahs been linked to cancer.
10. Avoid highly proceedded foods; burned foods; organ meats due to concentrated toxins found eg in liver; and fried and fatty foods, along with additves, preservatives and colorings.
11. East protein at every meal
12. Drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres of pure, filtered water or low sodium mineral water per day.
13. Lean to rotate foods and nto over consume the same type of foods on a regular basis.
14. Have a colorful meal that is rich in nutritional value and flavour. Take pleasure in preparing wholesome meals to be enjoyed as food for nourishment.
15. Chew your food carefully and slowly
Partake in regular, preferably aerobic, exercise for half an hour at least per day.
16. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, drugs and stress as much as possible.
17. Drink the juice of half a lemon or apple cider vinegar in warm water on waking or soon after.
18. Remember good nutrition and health is about balance and variety.

We are what we EAT indeed, both physically as well as spiritually. Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks; what is stored up in you is what you bring out into public.

Let's feed on the word of God always so that we may stay healthy and fruitful in every good work, which God has prepared for us who are His to do. In Christ's name I ask Amen.
