PROVERBS 7: 1-9
A lot of
believers often believe there is a dichotomy between the physical and the
spiritual aspects of their lives. God is interested in your physical life as
much as He is interested in your spiritual life. Many believers are guilty of
neglecting the physical aspect of the lives. Hence, many have died prematurely
while others have continued to suffer ill health. However, God expects us to
exercise sanctified common sense when it comes to dietary principles. If you
eat the wrong food, you may be digging your grave inadvertently. God is
interested in what you eat. God is interested in our being wise, too. Your body
needs plenty of pure water, protein, calcium, minerals and vitamins, more than
fat. You need pure water to clean your blood. Seventy percent of your body is
water. You must drink, at least, six cups of water daily. Sugar and starchy
foods are to the body what petrol is to a car; but you do not need too much of
petrol to run a car. Likewise, you do not need too much starch to run your
body. Too much sugar causes teeth decay. Our teeth will drop off if our blood
is full of sugar. Beans, peas, vegetable, nut (almonds, groundnuts, walnuts),
onions, fruits, milk and tomatoes are good. Sunshine is also good for you.
Excessive coffee and eggs are very dangerous for you. A cup of coffee has an
average of one and half grins of caffeine. For a heart patient, doctors use two
and a half grains of caffeine as shock treatment. This make the heart to work
faster than it ought to. This means that when you drink more than two cups, you
are telling your heart to run a race. If you compel your heart to run a race,
it will divide your body into two to be able to handle it properly. This is
when stroke occurs. Eggs contain cholesterol. Too much of it will give you
heart problem. Eating fried food is like feeding o ashes. Many of the so-called
dainties of the rich are deceitful meals. If you live on the so-called
“foodless food” you may be travelling on the opposite side of longevity and
good health.
