“Which diet book should I read?”

The best book on nutrition is the Bible. God is also the best counselor for our health because he made our bodies and knows how they work. Even if you don’t believe this, science backs up the principles God laid out in the Bible.

Rule number one and two are found in Matthew 22. “Love God and love others.” You may ask what that has to do with our bodies, but our emotional state has everything to do with our bodies. And when all else fails (our bodies die,) we will be with God forever (with a new body) in heaven if we believe Jesus died for our sins, things we do wrong.

After God created people and food, he said, “It is very good.” Genesis 1:29 says He gave us all plants to eat. After the fall (people became sinful,) food and bodies were no longer perfect. Then He gave rules in Leviticus 11 as to which animals are clean to eat. It basically includes animals that eat plants.

I can’t tell you how many times in the last two years God has directed me to the next book, practitioner, or food He knew I should experience. Psalm 16:7 says, “I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.” He has been the coordinator of my health and healing.

If you’d like to know what He has taught me about health and especially nutrition, please ask since He taught it to me so I could help others. If you want to know God, seek him because He wants to show you his love.
