Live Healthy = Eat Healthy!

"You are what you eat!" You've heard it before, and it's still true. What you put in you becomes part of you. Too many of us have been feeding garbage into our bodies only to think, "why do I feel bad so much of the time?"
DUH!

1) If you look at the original plan for man and woman (in Genesis 1:29) you see we were DESIGNED to eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, etc. NOT MEAT. Man didn't start eating animals for thousands of years after he was created - until after the flood.

Our bodies are vegetarian machines. Put diesel into your gasoline engine - consistently - and see how well it runs! Same with your body. DON'T EAT MEAT or other animal stuff, such as eggs, milk (it's awful for you!) or cheese.
Oh, and yes, chickens are animals. Sheesh!

2) Fat is hard on your body. Some are OK, yes, such as olive oil and grapeseed oil. But too much of any fat is hard on your blood vessels and cells. Keep the fats to a minimum.

3) Fiber and "low glycemic index" foods are good for your heart, your cells, your whole body. They fight cancer. They keep your vessels clean. Beans are life giving food!

This isn't some haphazard experiment some great Someone threw together without thinking. God, in His infinite and glorious wisdom created not only our bodies, but the perfect fuels for them - at the same time! In Eden, when everything was perfect, He gave us the perfect food for our bodies.

Use some common sense and eat what we were meant to eat.

I have been a vegetarian for many years and completely agree with this post. Most people think that they couldn't live without meat, but you can. There are many ways to get what you'd get from meat and it can actually be much healthier. I am a proud vegetarian and I have been since I was 12 years old! 11 years and running :)

Here is an interesting video on how meat is produced: http://meat.org

I've always been one to question the benefits of eating meat and this really is true. People use to live without eating meat, so why do we have to now?

I've always wondered how people managed back in those ages before the consumption of meat, but everyone has their own ways of living that it is possible to not eat meat ever and still be healthy.
