Up until now I have been saying that eating a raw food diet of fresh fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds will heal… well, to be exact, the food doesn’t actually heal… your body does the healing. God made our bodies to rejuvenate themselves. Think about it, people in the Old Testament lived hundreds of years, having children, and working very hard for most of those years! They were strong and healthy and very very old by our definition. The same way your body heals a cut on your finger will it heal itself of all the horrible diseases we have come to accept as common in our day… including aging! All we need to do is give it the proper building blocks.

Think of it like this: If you hired a master builder and told him to build a magnificent building and gave him nothing to build with, at the end of the time he may have something, but it will not be anywhere near his potential. If you give him the tools and the proper materials, on the other hand, he’ll have a masterpiece to show for it. Our bodies are the same way. God is the Master Builder and He gave us all the tools and materials we need to keep this temple strong.

If we eat the foods He originally intended us to eat as outlined in Genesis when He spoke to Adam and Eve, we will be strong and healthy until we go home to be with Him. I’m not saying we’ll live to be 900 years old, but that’s ok by me! I’ll take 100 strong, healthy and productive years! How about you?
