Overcoming Food Addiction Treasures

Sirach 30:14-16

~It is better to be poor, but healthy and strong, than a rich person whose body is afflicted. Being healthy and fit is better than any gold, and a strong spirit is better than untold riches. No wealth is better than a healthy body, and no gladness is better than happiness in one’s heart.~ Sirach 30:14-16

When we are under the influence of an addiction of food, it can tend to effect us like alcohol due to the high sugar content in many binge foods of choice. It can bring us down and effect our health as well as our spirit. If we are down and out, it can hinder us from many opportunities to be available to serve the Lord and others. 

I find when I am on the right path of eating healthy and drinking plenty of water, I have a more sound mind and more energy to be available to serve others.  

Special Tip:  (If you take your weight and divide it in half, that should be the amount of water one should drink each day.) 

Imagine how effective we can become in serving others when we are fully hydrated and alert with sound minds and bodies. 

When we are healthy and able to serve others for the Lord, it will bring you the greatest happiness more than anything else in the world. 

May God surround you with his love and encourage you to become as healthy as you can so you will be better equipped to serve the ones that God leads you to each and every day~
