Our Health & God's Law
|
Knowledge must be gained in regard to how to eat and drink and dress so as to preserve health. Sickness is the result of violating nature's law. Our first duty, one which we owe to God, to ourselves, and to our fellowmen, is to obey the laws of God. These include the laws of health. If we are sick, we impose a weary tax upon our friends, and unfit ourselves for doing our duty either in the family or to our neighbors. And when premature death is the result, we bring sorrow and suffering to others; we deprive our neighbors of the help we might have rendered them; we rob our families of the comfort and help which they should have received from us, and rob God of the service he claims of us to advance his glory. Then are we not, in a high sense, transgressors of God's law? CTBH 12

Gaining Weight
On Salad?
Jeff Novich, RD, MS, shared this metaphor about how Americans view "healthy" fats in their diets-
"I order a really big salad, and I then reach for the olive oil and I pour some olive oil on my salad and I mixed it up real well and I eat the whole salad and thats all I have for lunch. Would that seem unusual to any of you? No. In today's world everybody's doing it. But what if instead of reaching for the olive oil, I have my big salad and I took out my handy, dandy cooler-cause when your on a diet you carry a cooler with you. And I reached in the cooler and took out a pint of Ben & Gerry's Ice Cream...then I take out a 1/2 cup scoop, cause when you're on a diet you measure. And I put 4 or 5 scoops of Ben & Gerry's on my salad and I mix it all up and I eat the whole thing. Would that seem unusual in any way? What would you think of me ? That I'm nuts!
Guess which has more calories-2 tablespoons of olive oil or a 1/2 cup of premium ice cream? Olive oil. Two tablespoons of olive oil have more calories than every ice cream; have more calories than most premium ice cream. Now I understand the type of fat is different but when it comes to weight-what matters most? The type of fat or calories? Calories. So which would be be worse for you? The olive oil. Now let me ask you a question-which do you think would taste better? The ice cream. Which do you think would be more satiating? The ice cream.
So for 20 years Americans have been ordering salads-putting olive oil all over it. They're getting heavier...it's not satiating and it doesn't taste good."

Too Much Salt!
What is too much salt doing to our bodies? Find out the diseases that too much salt causes and the conditions it aggravates by following this link:
http://www.actiononsalt.org.uk/less/Health /index.html Tips for Seasoning Without SaltDips:
For dips such as tofu sour cream or soy "yogurt" based dips, skip the salt and add a pinch of tarragon or dill instead. For homemade mashed potatoes, use chopped chives or minced fresh garlic instead of salt to add flavor. Vegetables: Don't add salt to cooking water when preparing vegetables. Instead, toss cooked peas or corn with a half teaspoon of dried dill. Green beans are tasty with Garlic, basil, dill in cooking water. When preparing broccoli, try garlic or marjoram and for cauliflower basil, dill, ginger, oregano, coriander or mint to enhance flavor. You may also serve with chopped fresh parsley or a half teaspoon of dried parsley. Tomato Dishes: Equal amounts of dried basil and oregano will season tomato-based dishes without salt. Rice: Don't add salt to cooking water when preparing rice. Instead, toss cooked rice with a dash of tarragon for a unique flavor.

"No OIL!"...
Dr. Caldwell Essylstn, along with others, shows the reason why all oils should be eliminated from the diet for heart health. Follow the link:
http://www.heartattackproof.com/qanda.htm How Olive Oil Got a "Healthy" LabelOlive oil got its "heart healthy" start from the Lyon Study. But actually olive oil wasn't even used in the Lyon Study because the test subjects didn't like the taste of the olive oil and so canola oil was used instead. All of the "benefit" was falsely attributed to olive oil when it really came from Omega-3 enriched canola oil.

The Green Monkey Study
"From Dr. Lawrence Rudel of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center: Rudel ran a five year study feeding olive oil and saturated fat to African Green monkeys. The monkeys metabolize fat in the same way as humans, so they're good stand-ins.. At the end of five years, their autopsies showed that the monkeys who were fed olive oil had higher HDLs (the good cholesterol) and lower LDLs (the bad cholesterol) than the ones fed the saturated fat diet. The big surprise here: Both groups had exactly the same amount of coronary artery disease. The higher HDLs & lower LDLs of the olive oil group were meaningless. Rudel later repeated the study on rodents, and got the same results."

"Many die of diseases wholly due to meat eating, when the real cause is scarcely suspected by themselves or others. Some do not immediately feel its effects, but this is no evidence that it does not hurt them. It may be doing its work surely upon the system, yet for the time being the victim may realize nothing of it." CD 391

Which Fruits Fight Cancer Better?
by Dr. Michael Greger
Which Vegetables?
MS 3, 1897
"The meat diet is the serious question. Shall human beings live on the flesh of dead animals? The answer, from the light that God has given is, No, decidedly No. Health reform institutions should educate on this question...They should point out the increase of disease in the animal kingdom. The testimony of examiners is that very few animals are free from disease, and that the practice of eating largely of meat is contracting diseases of all kinds,-- cancers, tumors, scrofula, tuberculosis, and numbers of other like affections."

FACT: "When the limbs are left unprotected or are insufficiently clad, the arteries and veins become contracted, the sensitive portions of the body are chilled, and the circulation of the blood hindered."
MH 382 |
"Improper clothing of the extremities causes headache, nosebleed, a sense of fullness in the chest, cough, palpitation, or indigestion." (Testimonies, vol. 2, p. 531.)

Perfect Circulation Needed:
“Perfect health depends upon perfect circulation. Special attention should be given to the extremities, that they may be as thoroughly clothed as the chest and region over the heart.”

Ailments caused by improperly clothed Limbs

"Mothers who dress their children in accordance with fashion, endanger their health and life. Fashion leaves the limbs of children unclad, save with one covering, or, at most, two. If they are exposed to the chill autumn, spring, or winter weather, their limbs are bathed in a current of cold air. Over the heart, where is the greatest amount of vitality, there are from four to eight coverings. These unclad limbs and feet become habitually cold. While traveling, it is customary to see little girls dressed fashionably, but not healthfully. The upper portions of the body are abundantly clothed with warm cloaks, and over these are furs, while the limbs are scarcely covered. . . . Christian mother, why not clothe your daughter as comfortably and as properly as you do your son? . . . His limbs are protected by from three to five thicknesses; hers by only one. Is she feebler? Then she needs the greater care. Is she indoors more, and therefore less protected against cold and storm? Then she needs double care." H. R

"No one should through intemperate appetite so indulge his taste as to weaken any of the fine works of the human machinery and thus impair the mind or the body. Man is the Lord's purchased possession...
We are not to treat unwisely one faculty of mind, soul, or body. We cannot abuse any of the delicate organs of the human body without having to pay the penalty because of transgression of nature's laws. Bible religion brought into practical life ensures the highest culture of the intellect." 3SM 283,284 |
