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.
