At first vegetables and grasses were reserved for animal life. \u201cFor all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food.\u201d Genesis 1:30 (TEV) Later vegetables were added to man\u2019s diet as well.<\/li>\n<li>When grocery shopping, stay close to the original diet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Processed Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today Americans are always on the run, lacking time to prepare quality meals for their families, and therefore consume a high volume of cooked and refined processed foods. For hundreds of years the art of cooking has been passed from mother to daughter and literally thousands of cookbooks have been written and sold, giving many combinations of cooked gastronomical delights which tickle the palate and cause indigestion, heartburn, flatulency and acidosis. They may taste good, but they do a great injustice to the system and in later years cause sickness, pain, misery and perhaps a lingering death. Each new cookbook tells of more sophisticated ways to combine cooked food to delight the palate and dazzle the eye. Every new method of wrong combinations get further away from the foods that were once delectable in their <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>natural<\/strong><\/span> state. So most of us get jaded appetites and continual sour stomachs, gas and acid condition from unnatural manner of cooking and eating. More than four-fifths of our population cannot believe that certain vegetables could ever have been relished in their natural state, while their normal daily reaction to cooked and processed food is excessive acid in the system. The pen of inspiration has much to say on the subject of foods in their natural state, cooked foods, wrong\u00a0preparation of foods etc., which is a subject that each of us should spend more time investigating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2014 <em>Temple Restored<\/em>, Lady Smith, WI, 54848<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a variety of good, wholesome food, cooked in a healthful manner, so that it can be made palatable to all.

It is of vital importance to you to know how to cook. <strong>There are more souls lost from poor cooking that you have any idea of. It produces sickness, disease and bad tempers; the system becomes deranged, and heavenly things cannot be discerned.<\/strong> There is more religion in a loaf of good bread than many of you think.

Once stereotyped as food fanatics or leftover hippies, vegetarians are now widely respected. They are considered healthier and their diet, more ecologically sound.<\/p>\n<p>Seven out of 10 Americans suffer and die prematurely of three killer diseases: heart disease , cancer and stroke. In his comprehensive report to the nation titled \u201cNutrition and Health,\u201d C. Everett Koop, M.D., stated unequivocally that a western diet was the major contributor to these diseases. He confirmed that saturated fat and cholesterol, eaten in disproportionate amounts were the main culprits.He reminded people that animal products are the largest source of saturated fat, as well as the only source of cholesterol. To compound the problem, Dr. Koop pointed out, these foods are usually eaten at the expense of complex carbohydrate-rich foods such as grains, fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>The average risk of heart disease for man eating meat, eggs and dairy products is 50%. The risk for a man who leaves off meat is 15%. However, the coronary risk of a vegetarian who leaves off meat, eggs and dairy products drops to only 4%.<\/p>\n<p>Going beyond prevention, Dr. Dean Ornish published studies proving beyond a shadow of a doubt, that a very low fat vegetarian diet could reverse heart disease in patients scheduled for coronary bypass surgery.<\/p>\n<p>The risk for cancer of the prostate, breast and colon is three to four times higher for people who consume meat, eggs and dairy products on a daily basis when compared to those who eat them sparingly or not at all. In addition vegetarian women have stronger bones and fewer fractures, and they lose less bone as they age.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shorter\u2019s Health Manual<\/em>, Gwen Shorter, pp. 175, 176 Homeward Publishing Ministries, 4th Edition, 2017<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go back to Start Now!
