Toxins have everything to do with why we are overweight
It is estimated the average American, eating the Standard American Diet (acronym SAD), carries 5 to 10 pounds of accumulated toxins in their cells tissues and organs. Those are the toxins that have escaped the bodies natural defense system. That is, to create fat, to store the toxins in. That's right the body creates fat to store stuff it can't process! It does so in an effort to keep the poison out of our organs.
Are any of these foods in your diet:
Donuts, muffins, bagels, cream cheese, coffee (more than a cup a day), processed lunch meats (high nitrites, they cause colon cancer), chips, sugar laden soft drinks, Fast food burgers with extra cheese, french fries, candy bars, margarine etc. These + too much meat and potatoes with little or no vegetables, fruits, or legumes are the major food sources of the SAD diet of most Americans.
The result of practicing such a diet is the accumulation of toxic substances requiring the body to burn up energy reserves to make fat to store the toxins in.
Brings to mind a Proverb or two, “There is a way that seems right to a man but the end of that way is death.” And, “My people perish for a lack of knowledge.”
What do we know about the food we eat? Shouldn't we know something about it, in light of the fact we are the temple of the Holy Spirit?
Toxic substances weaken and congest our organs, digestive tract, and our elimination system.
Toxins come from the environment (pollution), unhealthy food choices, internally, as a by product of metabolism (endotoxins), exposure to chemicals, pesticides, drug residues and by-products, heavy metals, food additives (processed foods), yeasts, fungus, and parasites. Toxins, if unchecked will clog up our system like a plugged up drain, cause sickness and even death.
Hydrogenated oils, oils that have been injected with Hydrogen (is hydrogen a food?) i.e., vegetable oils, canola oil, peanut oil, safflower oil and margarine are not processed in the body nor are they eliminated, they are stored in fat! Science has shown, through a process called oxidation, these oils are the culprit causing hardening of, and clogging of, the arteries, not cholesterol as previously suspected.
(Suggestion: use only Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin olive Oil, or antibiotic and hormone free Butter. They are the healthy oils.)
Want to lose some excess body weight without killing yourself on a treadmill? Want to avoid disease?
Get rid of the toxins by becoming knowledgeable about what you eat. Then make the right choices and Just Do It!
If, we seek God about what we are to eat, then up our intake of vegetables, fruit, and legumes, and reduce or eliminate our bondage to the SAD diet we will lose toxins and body fat and avoid disease. Simple huh?!!! We don't have to do it alone, Jesus will help because He wants us to be healthy more than we do!
Remember, when you go to the market to follow these simple truths and rules:
Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
- Marketers are not interested in your health Their bottom line, and motivation for being in business is production and profit. Human nature, being what it is, do you think they have your best interests at heart? (Be wise as Serpents)
- Read the labels of everything you buy. (Knowledge)
- Get to know what's toxic and what's not (Ditto)
- If it's on the label and you identify it as toxic, leave it right where you found it and move on. (Reject the evil)
- Buy Certified organic fruits vegetables and legumes as much as you can afford it. (Accept the Good)
- Realize any vegetables, fruits, or legumes you buy, that are not organic, may be genetically produced, have residues of pesticides, and will have reduced or no food benefits. (You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.)
- Wash, thoroughly, all non organic foods before ingesting. Wash the organic ones too. (Clean not Unclean)
Fail to follow these rules and we will continue to store toxins, create fat, and get sick. Toxins not hidden in fat generally will be found in the Gall bladder, Kidneys, Skin, and Bone Marrow.
I had a sister-in-law who died from Bone Marrow Cancer related to pesticide exposure.
My brother, just had a malignant tumor removed from his kidney. To date, he still has not done anything about what he puts into his body. Please pray for him!
Kids, God says, “My people perish for a lack of knowledge.” He also says in proverbs, “With all your getting, get knowledge.” Then, in James we are told to be doers of the word, not just hearers.
I don't think He wants us to be ignorant about food and health do you? Don't you think it's time to get on with the WHOLE program. Remember, Love the Lord with all your strength (body), with all your mind (the thoughts will, and emotions), and with all your soul (the eternal part).
May God heal us from the top of our heads to the tip of our souls, I mean toes, and may He give us a desire to do our part. AMEN
