The Bible and Health - David Ascherick

We all want to have good health, unfortunately it is much easier to eat whatever we like and whatever we like is mostly junk food that will harm our health. Does the Bible have anything to say about health. In the video below David Asscherick of ARISE ministry goes through some bible texts that teach us how to take care of our bodies. You will be surprised at how the bible offers some sound principles of health that were ahead of the knowledge at that time. The more you read these tips on health the more your faith will grow in the divine inspiration of the  bible.
 
God's desire is that we should prosper both in spirit and in health as well. It is with this in mind that the bible offers some tips on how we can pospone our funeral by following some principles. Principles that most christians have abandoned and have resulted in His people suffering from the same lifestyle diseases that are wreaking havoc in the lives of modern men.

The bible says our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit and should be taken care of intelligently. This means that we need to have enough rest and follow good principles of health. To show the importance of rest God mandated his people to have one day of rest which He called the Sabbath. Most people nowadays are suffering from diseases that result from lack of enough rest. If man had obeyed God in keeping the seventh day as a Sabbath on top of the rest we need everyday man would have prevented most of these diseases from shortening his life.

The Bible also calls upon us to avoid certain foods and some substances that can destroy our  bodies. (Rom. 12:1, 2; 1 John 2:6; Eph. 5:1-21; Phil. 4:8; 2 Cor. 10:5; 6:14-7:1; 1 Peter 3:1-4; 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; 10:31; Lev. 11:1-47; 3 John 2.)

The title of the video below is titled, How To Postpone Your Funeral.
 
our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, we are to care for them intelligently. Along with adequate exercise and rest, we are to adopt the most healthful diet possible and abstain from the unclean foods identified in the Scriptures. Since alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and the irresponsible use of drugs and narcotics are harmful to our bodies, we are to abstain from them as well. Instead, we are to engage in whatever brings our thoughts and bodies into the discipline of Christ, who desires our wholesomeness, joy, and goodness. (Rom. 12:1, 2; 1 John 2:6; Eph. 5:1-21; Phil. 4:8; 2 Cor. 10:5; 6:14-7:1; 1 Peter 3:1-4; 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; 10:31; Lev. 11:1-47; 3 John 2.)
