This guide is intended help encourage people develop healthy habits so as to avoid chronic disease and experience overall well being.
Avoid for better health:
- Pork and Shellfish – Bible, Lev. 11:4-44
- Animal fat and blood – Bible, Lev. 3:17
- Wheat flour that is NOT 100% whole grain (read the ingredients, must say “Whole”) – without the bran and germ, wheat flour is treated like sugar by the body.
- Prescription drugs – 106,000 deaths a year (non-error, negative effects of drugs)[5]
- Synthetic Pesticides (sprayed on non-organic produce) – It is estimated that between 4,000 and 20,000 cases of cancer are caused per year by pesticide residues in food in allowable amounts.[6]
- Refined sugars and artificial sweeteners (sugar, high fructose corn syrup, Splenda, NutraSweet, aspartame, etc.)[4]
- Hydrogenated oils (aka trans fats) – artery-clogging fat that is formed when vegetable oils are hardened into margarine or shortening.[4]
- Freshwater fish – highly contaminated[3]
- MSG (monosodium glutamate) – MSG is used as a flavor enhancer and is an excitotoxin. Excitotoxicity may be involved in stroke, traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system.[7]
Add for better health:
- Fruits and Vegetables (carrots, broccoli, kale, peas, Swiss chard, tomatoes, asparagus, spinach, etc.)
- Sprouted grains (Ezekiel bread)
- Raw nuts and seeds (flax seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, etc.)
- Fish-sourced omega-3 fatty acids
- Beans & Legumes (black beans, kidney beans, lentils, pinto beans, etc.)
- Water – Drink at least 2-3 liters a day.
- Stress-relieving activities (massages, hot baths, laughing, pedicures, exercise, etc.)
- Healthy saturated fats, not hydrogenated (Coconut oil, real butter, palm oil, etc.)
- Healthier sweeteners (raw honey, evaporated cane juice, raw sugar, blackstrap molasses, stevia) – to be eaten in moderation.
