Health is Paramount!

Most people are concerned about their health, some are more interested in health than others, but generally all people want to know how to be more healthy.
Very close to the beginning of the Bible are the instruction for the diet of a healthy human being. Herbs bearing seeds, and trees that have fruit giving seeds, these are to be the food of those healthy individuals, who will be suffering less of the diseases most common to man, especially as the Earth now groans with its resources depleted more than ever before in history. See Genesis 1:29.
Health experts say that the more closely our diet and appetites ally themselves to these precepts, the more we will enjoy health and physical vitality. On the other hand, if we are careless regarding the food stuffs we partake of, we may suffer dire consequences, illness and even death in some instances. I had a classmate who I had attended school with some years ago and he is no longer living due to the very thing we are talking about. I had an opportunity the talk with him prior to his demise, and although he was ill and receiving treatment for a very aggressive type of brain cancer, he wanted to live and return to health, but it very was late in his case.
He told me that he was divorced and did not cook, nor did he eat any vegetables or fruit, nuts or grains. He stated that he ate hamburgers and french fries, fried chicken and popcorn for snacks, and this would change ever so slightly from day to day. He worked in the inner city and would visit small fast food restaurants for his meals. My hope is that some of you are seeing and will see, that we can poison ourselves if we do not eat as God has designed us and instructed us to eat in His Image, after His likeness. This is very simple, but we can complicate anything by doing what we want. Our want usually get us in trouble, sick, diseased, or dead. Gods Word, The Bible also states this; in the book of 3John 2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." Gods desire is that we be in health and prosper, because He loves us and wants the best for us, besides, what good is it if we prosper and be in ill health or dead?
