Simple Ways to Experience Good Health

Fruit for Breakfast
There are several things that I have found to be helpful in the area of good health which are not very cumbersome. One thing I do is eat only fruit or raw vegetables before noon. Of course, on special occasions, I will have a more traditional breakfast of bacon, eggs, and pancakes, but not on a daily basis. The word “breakfast” means to “break” the “fast” that you have been on since dinner the night before. For those of you accustomed to fasting, you know that fruit and juices are the best ways to end a fast. Another reason to eat fruit and vegetables in the morning is that they are easily digestible and therefore, provide quick energy. Your body can retrieve the energy from the nutrients faster. Eating this way will also help you lose weight quickly. You could easily lose 3-5 lbs. in a week after eating this way. The reason is, by eating quickly digestible foods in the morning, you give your body a chance to work on the harder-to-digest foods from your other meals.
I have been practicing the “fruit for breakfast” regimen for several years and it definitely helps to slenderize. More importantly, it helps to get your system healthy, which will help you live a longer life. I first heard of this suggestion after hearing the testimony of Dr. Betty Price. Dr. Price is the wife of Apostle Frederick K.C. Price of Crenshaw Christian Center in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Betty Price was stricken with cancer, which she battled and overcame. After her ordeal, she wondered why and how she got cancer in the first place. After seeking the Lord, she discovered that her eating habits gave place to the devil in bringing this disease on her. Prior to her overcoming the cancer, she rarely ate fruits and vegetables and also, rarely drank water. Instead of water, she drank coffee, sometimes ingesting nine cups per day. These habits caused her digestive system to not function properly. Her meals, because of the excessive coffee, were pushed through her system too quickly for proper digestion. Her body was unable to obtain the necessary nutrients from her food and ultimately, the toxicity of her body brought on cancer. Interestingly enough, it is not always the devil alone that brings on cancer, diabetes, and hypertension. Often we have opened a door for him to afflict us. It is time we shut those doors.
