    Fasting

    I fast several times a year. Fasting is good for both spiritual and health reasons. In fact, fasting and prayer are mentioned "together" in the Bible several times.

    Our Diets....

    It is unfortunate that Americans are motivated simply by TASTE and not by HEALTH. Our pampered and spoiled taste buds are the cause behind a great number of illnesses that are easily preventible by dietary alterations.

    Low Energy

    If you are overweight, that could easily contribute to lack of energy. Excess poundage puts a strain on many body organs, and they cannot tolerate this unwanted baggage forever. It usually catches up to most people at some stage in life, and may oneday show up as heart disease, diabetes...

    Need To Gain Weight....Help!

    Back when I played sports I used health shakes to maintain weight/muscle mass. There's a variety of ingredients to consider for use such as cow's milk, goat's milk, yogurt, soy protein powder, fruit, raw egg, and wheat germ.

    drinking water

    I have heard the same. Studies also suggest that most people are running "a quart low" when it comes to water. And, I agree that 8 glasses daily (or more in summer) is best.

    hypoglycemia?

    I first became health-concious years ago when I found out I was hypoglycemic. It scared me to death because diabetes was rampant in my family. Here are the simpliest solutions that I've found. Cut out all refined carbohydrates like white flour and sugar. Emphasize "high fiber" foods in your...

    Why do you want to get in shape?

    Fortunately for me, I'm not overweight, and I can attribute such bragging rights to healthy eating habits and regular exercise. I exercise because I feel better on days that I do. Plus, I'm assuming it will help me live longer.

    Fasting & Circulation?

    I fast several times per year, and yes, I often feel colder at times during this process. No, fasting does not inhibit circulation -- unless the body is attempting to clear arteries of unwanted materials (i.e., cholesterol, fatty deposits) or is trying to repair them. In such cases, in may...

    Should Chriatians be vegetarian/vegan?

    I've been an on-again, off-again vegan vegetarian for about ten years. I do feel that a vegetarian diet can be quite healthy. Vegetarians, in general, have longer life spans, lower cholesterol and less incidence of heart disease/cancer than meat eaters. I have more energy and feel better on...

    How do you eat healthy?

    OK, points well taken. I have not been at this forum long enough to know who is trolling and who is not. To reiterate (and at risk of being redundant) I would support a ketogenic diet if the user emphasizes vegetables, fiber and calcium. You and I have already discussed such pro's & con's of...

    How do you eat healthy?

    Catalyst, I cannot speak for Key of David, and maybe this is none of my business, but some of us are not here to argue amoung brothers. Rather, to share and learn from others. I certainly am, and prefer to pass on lengthy debates in the future. Yes, we are certainly entitled to differ in our...

    How do you eat healthy?

    Couldn't agree more. :) For healthy quickie meals, may I suggest sandwiches? Use whole grain bread, and low-fat fillers like tuna, turkey or reduced-fat cheese. Don't forget to pile on the vegetables. Stay away from mayo (it's too fattening) and stick to mustard. Oh, and try snacking on fresh...

    Evils of Caffiene?

    I also feel that if God is leading you to do something (like nix caffeine) then certainly do so. Otherwise, there are many things that we do which should only be done "in moderation" (i.e., caffeine, alcohol, etc.) Work to improve your diet, get some exercise, and quite often cravings...

    What do you eat?

    I'm a firm believer in the old saying "you are what you eat". :yum: Emphasize whole grains, fruits & vegetables in your diet, and you will have fewer health problems. I discovered this to be true after I changed my diet and cut out junk foods years ago.

    fasting

    Just wanted to mention that the first day of each fast is usually the toughest. We train our bodies all our lives to eat three meals (or more) per day, and now you are suddenly telling it to stop. :eek: Get past that first day, and the rest seems fairly simple. Around the 3rd day or so, you...
