MAKE
YOUR FOOD YOUR MEDICIINE
By Elder Odewande J.O.
Health is very important in all aspects
of human's life. It is when you are healthy that you can think about or do
anything that's worthy in life. So, the time and money invested on health is a
great and best decision you could ever make in life. If you love your health,
and wants to maintain your wellness, take your time and read through this
message. Take necessary steps as directed, and you will enjoy stable good
health and wellness throughout the time you’ll live here on earth.
It
has become a popular statement in the health sector this days that you should
make your food your medicine. It has also become crucial that failure to heed
to this advice will make you to make your medicine your food later in life.
This is not a curse but a proved health fact that is very practical.
People
may ask: “how do I make my food my medicine?”
Your daily living is based on your
lifestyle. Your lifestyle at the other hand is: what you eat and drink; what
you do for living; your hobby and other daily habitual activities.
If you are not aware, food itself is the
medicine for hunger. But apart from quenching the effect of hunger in our
system, the richness in nutrients of the food that we eat on daily basis,
determines the type of healing effect, health and wellness maintenance it will
give as a medicine in our body system. This is why it is important to include
variety of food items in our meals on daily basis. It is paramount to do this
because eating only one items of food at every meal we take will not give us
all needed nutrients in our body. If we rely or limited ourselves to only too
little food items continuously for a period of time, there is a tendency that
deficiency of some very vital nutrients would result; which definitely could
lead to the expression of certain diseases in our body system.
Once
this happens, treatment becomes imperative and later such disease may be
healed; or on the other hand enter into the stage of a continuous management if
it does not kill the victim. The above stated conditions depend on how grievous
the expressed disease(s) is; if it is a terrible case; upon all the treatments
the doctors might have given, huge amount of money expended on drugs, various
tests carried out, the trauma the family and friends had undergone, long and
valuable time wasted in the hospital; the victim may at last still die.
Any
reasonable person who wants to live well and lives healthy; a serious person
who is obsessed about his or her health and wellness will never pray to
experience the above stated terrible health situation. It is really painful and
very expensive in terms of money, time and emotion.
The
question is: “Why should any person suffer or undergo such terrible health
condition when only correct and adequate dieting could make it avoidable?” The
bible says: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge……..” (Bible ref:
Hosea 4:6). The issue now is not that you lack information because you are
reading this write-up right now. So, the issue of lack of knowledge is also no
more there; the knowledge is already there after reading this write-up. The
only thing that remains for you after reading this information is to obey and
start to take necessary action to do something critical regarding your diet that
will later positively affect your health and wellness.
To
enable you maintain your stable good health, wellness and happiness, do the
following persistently:
v Always
eat right. Eat combined variety of foods continuously.
v Make
available to yourself combined and agreeable food items at every meal.
v Make
vegetables and fruits (raw food) vital priorities and more in quantity in every
meal you eat.
v Only
eat when you are hungry and eat a little at a time – (if not, you may be over
stressing your digestive system)
v Avoid
taking your supper late – (always take your supper latest by 7:00 pm)
v Get adequate night rest – (at least, 6 hours as youths, and
for elderly, at least 8 hours)
v Go
on adequate food supplements. This will supplement the possible missing
nutrients in your normal meals.
v Get
yourself involve in adequate and continuous exercise (30 – 60 minutes on daily basis
or at least three to four times a week.)
The more uncooked food you eat, and more
regular you are at your daily exercise in addition to having enough and
adequate rest, the better and more stable your health would become.
Important Warning: If the food is
not natural, run away from it!
