It seems these days that a lot of people are becoming aware of good health and the "ways" to attain it....and that is good, Praise God.!It is about time...
Our biggest enemy is our diet....the food we eat is linked to almost 100% of health Good or bad..Including but not limited to high blood pressure, diabetes,cancer, and of course the well known one..Coronary Artery disesae....and to the suprise of many..salt is not the BIGGEST culprit of high blood pressure...FAT is.!
Excessive Fat intake causes atherosclerosis of the renal arteries, leading to hypertension.This happens by the production of hypertensin, which is a chemical that elevates the blood pressure.
Fat in all dairy products as well as meats, is this society's worst enemy. And God knew it thousands of yrs ago...the Med. community is just beginning to tell us....the message from the media is still too slow and withot much seriousness..
The American Heart assoc. recommends that our diet have no more than 30% of our calories from fat....That is way too much....the more informed experts suggest no more than 10%....
The American cancer society in their Dec. 1996 issue reported data which confirm that excessive fat intake causes cancer of the prostate,breast,colon, and endometrium....not to mention various others.This includes non-saturated fat intake.
All veg. oils except olive oil have carcinogens due to the fact that they are heat expressed....Olive oil is Cold Expressed...another miracle of God..olive oil is the oil of God... interesting...it is translated "el ah "yah=..God,is God....pretty profound ey?..It is the oil of God.! It is the only oil we shoul ever put in our bodies....
That is why it is known to even LOWER blood cholesterol....It's best to have it cold, such as on salads and other vegs. but it is ok also to use it in cooking of meats as a sautee, not of course "deep fried"
We all have "cancer killing cells" within our bodies that are "destroyed" by FAT...they become useless and die,and that is how cancer is able to thrive....
dishes...they are always a no no...
We in this house have been on a fat free diet (as close to fat free as possible) for the last 3 yrs.... The media and it's cohorts are very slow in geting the mesaage out,
I would suggest an excellent book by a christian author named Dr. Reginald Cherry, the title escapes me at this moment, but all good stocked Christian book stores know of it....another excellent book ny a christian author is "Reversing Heart disease" by Dr. Whittaker...
We have read both and highly recommend them...Reversing Heart disease also talk about high blood pressure..as it relates to diet and fat intake...
The world tells us that for every disease their is a "great medication"...Those who know the truth of good nutrition say...for every disase there is a great prevention....MOSTLY...
The adverse reactions of many meds. are worse than the illness they are taken to control.
In general there are a lot of good books out there now on "good nutrition", and the ill effects of "bad nutrition"....exercise is also good for us...
There has also been a lot of info. on the effects of red wine, and it's medicinal properties especially related to the prevention of heart disease, which can only be found in the RED grape skins,not White, or green... however, one would have to eat 2lbs per day to get the same effects that just one ounce of red wine delivers.....there is a Non-alcoholic red wine now produced for those who prefer non-alcoholic drinks, one brand is "fre"...it can be found in your local grocery store..in the wine section....
Enough for now...
Have a blessed day
Love in our Lord Jesus
Shalom...><> |
