What the Bible says about healthy living.....

It's been a while--but I've decided to start blogging again--not just for Nutrition but I also started a Fitness blog--MiMiSTRONG. If you chose to read, GREAT!..welcome :)
          
         *For the next month I'll be reading the book entitled: What The Bible Says About Healthy Living..forwarded by Jordan Rubin--Written by Rex Russel M.D. I honestly still have not found an exact eating style that suits me best but I really believe that this takes years to discover.  I am not one to believe in the eat 6 meals a day to keep your metabolism going...or that grains are absolutely horrible(what if you mill you're own flour?) JUST EAT PALEO..? ok, what does that even mean? eat 6 GRAPEFRUIT a day and you'll lose weight.. really? SOUP, its the cure. ok, but what about SODIUM? JUST eat fish.. DON'T eat this, DON'T eat that. People are constantly trying to get you to do what works best for THEM.. --so what works for YOU may NOT work for some one else.  I always tell people that the BEST way to discover what works is trial and error on yourself. It takes patients and if you want to someday learn what works best then do you're research..stop relying on other people. I'll be reading this book and each time I come across something interesting I'll blog about it.  Hopefully those of you who read these notes will decide to experiment as well :)

"I see a day not long from now when every major mainstream media outlet proclaims this headline: Christians are the worlds healthiest people, with less heart disease, diabetes and obesity than the rest of the world and have vibrant level of health. When this day comes, our churches will have to double or triple in size as people from near and far will beat down our doors to learn about the God we serve. In that day, we will truly be God's city on a hill, a light in a dark world."
-Jordan S Rubin(Best selling author of The Makers Diet)

Three CORE principles:

3) Don't Let Any Food or Drink Become Your God

Have a great Sunday :)

Roasted Good-ness

.. For all the fruits and veggies that I get each week, man I'm starting to think i need another fridge! After one meal though it does calm down a little i guess, but then there are the left overs! It seems to work out just fine somehow and I wouldn't buy less fruits and veggies just because my fridge is small :) The other night when I got home from the store I used 1/2 of the veggies I purchased that night and roasted them in the oven for about 30 minutes..The Kale was nice and crunchy and with all the flavors mixed in from the spices and other veggies, mmmmm it was tasty. So for the ROasted Mixed Veggies: Here's what I did--

CHOP:

onion

carrots

cabbage/red and green

kale

zucchini

squash

apple

eggplant

mushrooms

pour: 1 Tbsp grape seed oil all over pan 

         1 tbsp Agave nectar as well

seasonings:

*garlic powder

*citrus pepper blend

*cinnamon

This took a total of about 45 minuets and I was feasting away! Add some Tilapia to your dish also for some satisfying protein :) Enjoy!!
