I know...you think that I am losing it. But I have decided to change my life all together. As a former food addict (as many on the American diet are), I have decided that fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, beans and lentils..etc are the way to go. I haven't decided to give up meat altogether, I will consume fish..which would make me a Pescetarian (Meditteranean Diet). I have been studying and talking to the Lord. I am ready to take the plunge. Difficult, I know, but totally necessary. I am reading several books and journal articles of the benefits of a healthy life style. I believe that I will be able to achieve a vegetarian lifestyle by the end of 2013. If I get really bold--a vegan lifestyle.
I am on day two of the the Master Cleanse. I decided to give it a try for three days then one day at a time after the three days. The ultimate goals is to complete the fast for 10 days. I just want to start my new life with a clean slate. I have found a naturopath doctor here in the Memphis area and will plan to visit him within the next week or two.
I have been studying health for awhile and when I sum it all up; processed food, sodas, caffeine and other lifeless foods is the reason for our sick and developmentally delayed children, infertility, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer etc. Not many want to acknowledge that we have control over our health by the way we treat our bodies. Not many want to do what it takes to become healthy. Not many of us want to let go of negative habits. Not many of us want to take responsibility for our own health. We leave it to the M.D. who's major purpose is to treat symptoms and perform surgery and most of all to help to keep the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies fat.
As I read about gaining Godly wisdom and knowledge from Proverbs, I pray for strength as this is new territory. Lots of bumps in the road and "mess ups" but I will be victorious in obtaining optimum divine health through the knowledge of God.
