Last night we attended a Valentine’s dinner at our church. The menu contained food that I don’t particularly care for. So, when I didn’t eat what was being served, the people at my table began to question me about my dietary standards.
I didn’t want to get into a long discussion about health and nutrition with them. But, what happened last night caused me to be thinking about health issues this morning. I’ve added some links to my blogroll that I read on a regular basis. These sites have helped me try to live a healthier life.
My chief concern in posting these links (Matt Furey, Healthmasters, and Tim Kauppinen), is to get people to think about their health standards. We are seeing too many people die and suffer from cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Many of the different kinds of cancer can be avoided. Men, look at the statistics of those dying of prostate cancer.
As a young man who is now in full-time ministry, I know that conducting funerals will be a part of my future. If I can save my people some pain and suffering, I want to try and do that.
So, do some research folks. A few changes now in your diet and health practice, may save you some pain, suffering, and heartache down the road.
There are so many kids in my school that are overweight I see that it is very important to eat healthy. I think that the younger you start eating right the easier it will be later on in life. I eat well and exercise daily and it has become easier for me to do it over time.
Matt,
Thanks for checking in. You are right. I also believe parents need to be the ones determining a child’s menu. I never understood why my mom didn’t let me eat the cereals with high sugar content and a lot of donuts and pastries for breakfast. But, now I am grateful.
I changed my lifestyle in my mid-fifties because I felt lethargic and down. I didn’t even know if I would make it my 60th birthday. I changed my eating habits, started taking supplements, and lost 38 pounds. Now, 12 years later, I have plenty of energy to care of 15 to 20 teens each day at small Christian School. I have the privilege of modeling healthy eating habits. The health curriculum reiterates what I am modeling for them. “You are what you eat both spiritually and physcially.” Keep asking these kinds of questions. Wil
