Are You Dead or Alive

Last night I had the opportunity to give a small teaching at a beautiful place called Sonrise Mission.  They are a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to helping people with life controlling problems that are desperate to change.

So when I starting to jot down ideas on what I was going to speak about I could not help the desire to speak about our health and how what we eat can seriously affect our quality of life.  This is true especially of people that have been drug or alcohol addicts.   Their bodies require even more whole, raw unprocessed foods to aid them in their recovery.

My talk ran about 45 minutes so it was quite long but I have extracted some snippets for your enjoyment.

Are you Dead or Alive

If I was to ask everyone that question most of you here would answer by saying; “I’m Alive”.  And yes it’s true.  We are here living and breathing but deep down inside we may be as lifeless as a dead corpse in a tomb.

Our souls and our cells may be lacking the much needed living word and living food that God wants us to have.

What I try to teach people is:  That if we put in dead foods into our body we will most likely only get dead, lifeless results in the end like the many sicknesses and diseases that are plaguing our society.  In many cases they are the result of a dead food diet.  Living foods however are life building foods that aid our body in the healing process.

Living foods are those foods taken directly from creation and consumed usually immediately.

Where dead foods are man-made foods that are processed then placed on a shelf where they will sit until consumed.

Some Living foods include:

Fruits

Uncooked vegetables

Whole sprouted grains

Seeds and nuts in their raw uncooked state

Raw milk

Living foods consist of all the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fiber and antioxidants our bodies need to survive.  By giving us these perfect foods God knew he would be helping our bodies deal with cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and many other diseases.

If you are new to eating life building foods you can start off by eating 30 % of living foods and gradually increasing until you are at a minimum of 50%.  Remember that most of the food we eat should be living food because by consuming more living food we are allowing our body to create good clean blood and new cells that are strong and able to fight off sickness when it enters the body.  As mentioned above, we are also equipping our bodies with all the living enzymes that our digestive system needs to function and do its job properly.  A digestive system that does not function well is the root cause of many sicknesses and ailments we see in our society today.

Dead Foods on the other hand don’t aid our body they hinder it.  These are foods that are not found naturally in creation.  These foods as we learned earlier were not created by God, but instead were created and processed by man to mimic that which was created by God.

Examples of dead food include:

White bread,  processed peanut butter,  margarine,  candy bars,  most ice-cream,  diet drinks and drink supplements like Ensure,  fast food,  and most cookies, cakes, breads and snacks found at the store.

Dead food makes you fat, tired and unable to fight disease if one day it comes knocking at your door.

Whereas living foods make you leaner, more energetic and equips your body with the necessary nutrients to fight off disease.

It’s easy to make excuses by saying:  “I can’t afford to eat better.  Plus fast food is cheaper.”

But fast food is far from being a cheaper alternative.

You may survive everyday of the week on the dollar menu but statistics say you’ll be sicker sooner and as a result of your poor eating you may even die sooner.

People that eat mostly dead foods spend more time sick – which in the long run means loss of time and income.  And if you have children you are at a double or triple loss.  Dead food dieters also have to end up purchasing many expensive supplements to help treat their body’s deficiencies.

So today, I want to encourage you to make wiser choices before you take that next bite of food.  I also want to challenge you to start adding one living food to your diet everyday.  A great way to do this is by making smoothies in the blender.

By doing this you are getting all the nutrients your body needs in a convenient and fast way.
