Our Body's Health...by the Bible
The Bible is the original "owner's manual".
Just as when a light turn on in our cars, we pop out our owner's manual to see "what it is" and "how do we fix it". So when something is wrong with us, The Bible tells us how to fix it.
In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ~ Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Yes, content was intended for sexual sin, but the principle applies the same; to take care of your body. Your body is a temple for Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit used to dwell in the physical temple but when Jesus came, the Spirit now dwells in the body of the believers. You are a living, breathing, walking temple! If the Israelites took such care of the temple, why would we not take care of our temple? For we are far more valuable than any bricks, stones, wood, or even gold. For we were created in God's perfect image.
What Do We Eat?
God's original diet was listed in Genesis as fruits, seeds, nuts. After sin, meat too. ~Genesis 1:29
And God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb-bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
Lifestyles
Where did God choose for Adam and Eve to live? Close to Him and to the garden. Now, our world is the total opposite. Long working hours, stress, and junk food. ~Genesis 2:9
Work and Exercise
What is a job without "work"? Work requires movement. For example, they had to collect their own food, grains, kill their meat, fish, etc. ~Genesis 3:23
Air - We were meant to live in fresh air. Water - Revelation 22:1 Sunshine - Ecclesiastes 11:7
All three of these are symbols of Christ.
Temperance - means abstinence or having self-control in all that we do. ~Proverbs 25:28
Rest - Spirit and body; the physical - Exodus 20:8-11 - Resting on the Sabbath day, but we also need to rest in the spirit. Rest from what...? From guilt, from sin... ~Matthew 11:28-29
Trust - A personal walk with Christ. Laminin protein molecule lies outside of cells inside our organs; basically the glue to our cells. When a biologist looked at this, they found the formation of this protein in the shape of a cross!
Colossians 1:17
H - home to Holy Spirit
E - eat and exercise
A - air
L - Love for God and others
T - trust
H - health of body, soul, and spirit

Hi Martha. Just went over your blog about healthy eating and saw your Wednesday Bible Teaching about it as well. I wanted to share with you how it inspired me to share the original diet for humanity with one of my classes during our weekly discussions. It was regarding how having the knowledge of noncommunicable diseases is the number one cause of death in the 20th century, and if we were in charged of the global health department how would we approach the issue. I told them I would take it back the the Adam and Eve days, lol.
