Who Can You Call On For Help? God.

Life is a gift. Health must be earned. We earn good health by cultivating healthy habits. For many, cultivating healthy habits is not as easy as we would like it to be. Distractions, responsibilities, deadlines, lack of self-discipline and self-control and lack of willpower can all stand in the way of keeping up with a healthy lifestyle. But the good news is that help is available to us. Just not any kind of help; but divine help. Help that comes from God Himself. It is God’s will for us to be in health; so, calling on God for help in the area of health is in place. God is ready, willing and available to all who call on Him for help.

Some healthy habits are drinking adequate amount of water, having some form of exercise regimen, good nutrition (that would include wholefoods and exclude heavily processed foods), getting proper amount of rest, getting sunlight, giving God your cares, and so on. As simple as it may look or sound, practicing these habits consistently and continually will bring about tremendous and positive results.

Here is a formula for success: ask God for help and do the work. It has been said that there are no shortcuts to any place worth going, and the same applies to your health. There are simply no shortcuts or magic pills to a healthy lifestyle.

Ponder the following: How do you treat your body? Do you treat it with the reverence and respect it deserves, or do you take it more or less for granted? God’s Word says that our bodies are temples that belong to God. Let’s do our best to take care of God’s property.

May you be encouraged and blessed as you continue on this health journey.

Bible Verse To-Go:

So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Luke 11:9-10

Focus for the Week

If you are serious about improving your health and fitness, ask God for help. He is our help in time of weakness.

The Liver: Your Body's Detox Engine

Image
The liver is the largest internal organ, and it does a lot. Here is an excerpt of what the liver does from the book: Chris Beat Cancer by Chris Wark: “Your liver is your body’s detoxification engine and a critical component of your immune system. It processes nearly every toxin that enters your body. An overburdened, sick liver can lead to a toxic body, weakened immune system, and an environment where cancer cells can thrive. So, it makes sense to reduce the workload on your liver and the rest of your body by reducing or eliminating your exposure to unnecessary toxins. The overwhelming awareness of how much potentially toxic stuff is around you may induce some anxiety and paranoia at first, but don’t let fear take over and paralyze you; just make a to-do list and start cleaning up your life. The goal is to reduce your toxic load, and every little bit helps.” God designed the body to always detoxify. When you urinate, defecate, and perspire, your body detoxifies. Eliminating or reducing...

Quercetin, the "Scavenger Chemical"

Image
Quercetin belongs to a group of plant compounds called flavonoids. This compound is a potent antioxidant that protects the cells in the body from free radical damage. The way it works is by neutralizing free radicals and preventing them from damaging cells and tissues. It also helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory molecules. That’s amazing! This compound also helps lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function. In the area of brain health, quercetin protect brain cells from damage and improve cognitive function. In the area of cancer, studies have shown the anti-cancer properties of quercetin. This bioflavonoid is a true powerhouse exhibiting anticancer activity by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, which is programmed cell death, and reducing metastasis, the proliferation of cancer. Quercetin also has anti-angiogenic effects, meaning, it can inhibit the formation of new blood vessels which cancer cells need to grow and ...

Where Do You Really Belong? Try this place!

Image
  In the headlines, legal battles rage over birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants—an issue stirring deep divisions in the courts and across kitchen tables nationwide. Some argue for tradition, others for reform. But beneath the noise lies a quieter question few dare to ask: What really makes someone a citizen?   Well, what do you think about types of citizenship?  You see... ...we wrestle with laws written in ink, interpreted by judges, and debated by talking heads. We wonder what it means to belong—who is in, who is out, and who decides. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong citizenship question all along? There’s another kind of citizenship. One that doesn’t depend on where you were born or what documents you carry. One not granted by government, but offered by grace. “But our citizenship is in heaven. And from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 3:20 Unlike earthly passports, heavenly citizenship isn’t inherited...
