Why Daniel’s Fast Works
Most people want to be healthy and in order to be healthy we should strive to stay within a normal range of weight. Pastor Rick Warren has encouraged his congregation to lose a lot of weight and get healthier by adopting Daniel’s Fast, based on the biblical story told in the book of Daniel. In the story, Daniel refuses the rich foods the King was offering him and instead chooses vegetables, and ends up healthier and stronger than those who ate the King’s food laden with animal products.

I think the Bible is clear that God’s ideal diet for us is a plant-based diet whenever possible. After all, the book of Genesis tells us that God prescribed a vegan diet to Adam and Eve. As stewards of our bodies, temples of the Holy Spirit, doing our best to stay healthy while showing compassion and love to other creatures is a great way to honor God and celebrate Creation!Your question and comments are welcome
