I just don't understand why Christians insist on
eating whatever they want. This is what I hear
in my office...
"I just pray over the food and figure the good
Lord will bless it to the nourishment of my body"
PLEASE!
How can God go against His own law?
He created man to be able to eat and digest
proteins
fats
and carbohydrates.
When a pizza and diet coke are served,
yes it has proteins, fats, and carbs...but
can your body digest it???
Obviously the before meal blessing is not
working and God will not go against His own
handywork.
People come to me asking why they eat the
pizza and soda (or some similar junk food)
and wonder why they have
diabetes
high blood pressure
or other diseases plaguing them!
My belief is that having junk food once in
a blue moon is ok - but Christians must get
off their fat behinds to take notice of their
health! Eating God given, digestible food
like fresh vegetables, meat/fish, whole
grain bread is the way God intended.
As Christians, we need to be examples to the
world as to our passion and energy for Him.
We can't do that if we are constantly stuffing
our face with garbage and then suffering the
consequences with diseases.
Let's take a hard look at our health and
get it right with God!
Until next time,

Does Gastric Bypass Work?
I was watching the 60 minutes segment on how gastric
bypass surgery has 'helped' so many people. Seems they
gave a great boost for surgeons to jump on the band
wagon! At only $25,000 a surgery who wouldn't?
But wait... does gastric bypass really work?
According to the reporting done, not only does it
help with weight loss, but diabetes as well.
So of course, a surgeon in Brazil is now doing
bypass surgery just for diabetics!
Look folks, you were created with a stomach for
a reason! It has important acids to help you
break down your foods into usable proteins,
carbohydrates, and fats that your body is
supposed to use.
When you elect to have a surgery that takes
most of your stomach out, you can have side
effects like:
• An iron and vitamin B12 deficiency occurs more
than 30% of the time. About 50% of those with an
iron deficiency develop anemia.
• The connection between the stomach and the
intestines narrows (stomal stenosis) 5% to 15%
of the time, leading to nausea and vomiting after eating.
• Ulcers develop 5% to 15% of the time.
• The staples may pull loose.
• Hernia may develop.
• The bypassed stomach may enlarge, resulting in hiccups and bloating.
"Ten to 20% of people who choose this option have to have follow-up operations to correct complications (abdominal hernias being the most common), and more than one third develop gallstones from the rapid weight loss."
Other common side effects of gastric bypass:
• Nausea and Vomiting
• Dehydration
• Food Intolerance
• Changed Bowel Habits
• Cold Intolerance
"An unpublicized side effect of gastric bypass
surgery is excessive flatulence."
.... oh, and you can die from this surgery!
60 minutes didn't
mention that list did they???
A better method is to use a very low cost,
effective tool that has been around since God
created man... self-control.
Have problem with self-control?
Then that's another issue.
