Biblical Nutrition Principles
We believe that God has given us clear instruction when it comes to what we should eat for optimal health and maximum performance! This should come as no surprise since He designed us! Just as the designer of a performance automobile - like the one's they use in NASCAR - knows what to "feed" the car to keep it running with maximum horsepower, the body's designer knows exactly what we need to eat to enjoy great health and longevity!
We believe that "all scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the [person] of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (1 Tim 3:16) In other words - it's good for us! So that is where we go to give you the principles that you will need for proper nutrition.
It really is that easy! All you have to do is follow God's game plan for great nutrition and great health!
But first you have to trust that God really does know best. And, you have to agree not to "throw out" principles just because they are found in the "old" testament - remember that ALL of God's word is inspired and profitable!
We rely on three basic principles:1
Principle #1 - Eat only substances God created for food - Avoid what is not designed for food.
Principle #2 - Eat foods as they were created, before they are changed or converted into something humans think might be better.
Principle #3 - Avoid food addictions - don't let any food or drink become your God.
In the upcoming weeks we will explore each of these Biblical Principles and give you simple instruction for how to eat for optimal health and performance! I think you will be surprised at how much variety God has given us and just how great food can taste!
1 These three principles are explored in the wonderful book, What the Bible Says About Healthy Living©, by Rex Russell, MD.

"I purchased the book What the Bible says about Healthy Living and my wife and I have already finished reading the book; we are totally changing the way we shop for and eat food. This book opened my eyes to how much we sin against our own bodies by not following the principles God has given us. I have lost five pounds [in 2 weeks], my wife loves it, and even our 8 and 6 year olds are getting into eating healthy." J.D.Bickle | |
