God’s Pharmacy

In theory, we all know that we should be eating more fresh fruits & vegetables, because “they’re good for us”. But how many of us actually know which fruits & veggies are good for which part of our bodies. Personally, healthy eating is a very important subject, because I believe that You Are What You Eat. We only have one body in this lifetime, and I think it is our greatest responsibility to be aware of what we put into our bodies. It’s all about balance & living consciously.

What I am about to share with you, came to me in a form of a Forward E-mail a few days ago, and I found it extremely fascinating and just had to share with you. Of course, this list doesn’t cover all the fruits & veggies and their benefits to the health of our bodies, but it is certainly a start and I promise to share more findings as I go along.

Enjoy!

{ It’s been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish… all before making a human. He made and provided what we’d need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw.

We’re such slow learners…God left us lots of great clues as to what foods help what part of our body.

Kidney Beans, true to their name are kidney shaped. They provide nutrients that are helpful to the human kidneys. Kidney beans contain molybdenum, which helps sulfite oxidase to form and is responsible for detoxifying sulfites. Animal research has shown that chronic renal failure has been associated with oxidative stress.
