JLT Tuesday Tidbit

Today is Tuesday and I am actually here in front of my computer to enter my tidbit for the week. I wanted to share with you a book that really got me thinking about what I eat. I guess it did a great job of encouraging me to search for healthy meals and foods and opened my eyes to some things I had never really thought about before in relation to health...i.e. sun exposure and the pasteurization of milk among other things.

The book is called, WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HEALTHY LIVING. The author is Rex Russell, M.D. His book contains all kinds of wisdom for healthier living, including three principles that will change your diet and improve your health.

1. Eat the foods God created for you
2. Don't alter God's design
3. Don't let any food or drink become your God

A couple titles of chapters included in this book are....

Eating right in a world gone wrong
and
Health with obedience

And then he has a chapter about the different food groups:
Going with the grain(and nuts, too)
The fat of the land
The meat to eat
How sweet it is
Mom was right: Eat your fruits and Veggies
The spice(s) of life
Beverages: Elixirs of life- or death

It also includes a health IQ

There is all kinds of good information inside. If you are interested and live close you may borrow my copy, otherwise I hope your library carries it. If you read it, let me know what you think.
