Prescription for Health

 


Embracing Living Foods for Wellness

A foundation of lasting health lies in consuming an abundance of living foods each day. These include organic, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Such foods are considered “living” because they are rich in natural enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients—elements necessary for vibrant health and energy.

In contrast, man-made or highly processed foods are often described as “dead.” These foods such as fast foods, sugary snacks, processed products, junk foods, and typical snack items lack enzymes and are generally deficient in essential nutrients. Relying heavily on these dead foods can, over time, contribute to degenerative diseases and a shortened life span.

Transitioning to Healthier Eating Habits

You can gradually shift away from unhealthy eating patterns by purposefully replacing “dead foods” with nourishing, living foods. Make a conscious choice this week to select only foods that support your overall wellness.

Sample Meal Plan for the Week

  • Breakfast: Begin your day with a green smoothie or a bowl of fresh fruit, choosing varieties you enjoy.

  • Lunch: Choose a large, colorful salad complemented by a healthy grain such as quinoa, bulgur, millet, or brown rice.

  • Dinner: Have another fresh salad or a nourishing smoothie to round out your day.

Throughout the day, remember to drink adequate amounts of water. Staying hydrated supports your body’s natural detoxification processes and overall well-being.

“Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.” Isaiah 58:8

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...
