A few days ago a TV news program listed the main concerns of American
people. According to this program, what topped the list was “health care
costs.” Perhaps a better description is “disease care costs.”
After seeing this, I couldn’t help but think of what the Apostle Paul
says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20:
19. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy
Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not
your own?
20. For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in
your body.
It seems to me that the closer we live to God’s original intent
(Genesis 1:29), the more God is glorified in our bodies.
29. Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding
seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has
fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;
As I mentioned in yesterday’s Blog, it is mind-boggling how much
unnecessary, preventable suffering exists. If people would switch to a
whole foods (unprocessed) plant food diet, I believe health care costs
would shrink dramatically. We have proven this in our own lives. If
people took more responsibility for their health by seeking out the
truth instead of falling for every fad diet that comes along and
believing all the slick ads bombarding them, they would be a lot
healthier.
And, have you noticed how the word “prevention” is used to describe a
diagnostic procedure? Women are led to believe that
mammograms help in the “prevention” of breast cancer. Wait a minute!
Common sense tells me that mammograms are used to “find” not to
“prevent” breast cancer. “Prevention” results from healthful choices,
not “diagnostic procedures.”
