God’s laws of good nutrition

God’s laws of good nutrition are still relevant today, and our refusal to obey them has resulted in almost all of our diseases. This article proves that God was always wiser, and more knowledgeable than us. It also explains scientifically the reasons for his nutrition rules, and how his kosher diet is the ideal diet.

Let’s see what the bible says:

“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”

— Exodus 15:26

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.‘”

— Genesis 1:29

“Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.”

— Leviticus 7:23

Consuming fat does not just cause undesirable weight effects. Both animals and humans store toxins inside of fat cells to isolate them from internal organs. These are the substances that are so toxic that a body is unable to excrete them. By consuming the fat of an animal, a person is ingesting something which has calories but no nutrition, and toxins but no benefits. A diet with any appreciable flesh fat therefore impairs overall health, is a known cause of cancer, and a major component of heart disease. The process of storing toxins inside fat partially explains why diet programs are so prone to failing. It is because without detoxification, a body simply cannot let go of its toxin-storing fat as a matter of self-defense, and most diet commercial programs increase the amount of toxins.

“The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.”

— Exodus 23:19

Milk interferes with the absorption of meat-iron and proteins which are important for muscle growth and general health; especially in children. For this reason, you should never consume milk with meat.

“To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.“

— Leviticus  11:47

“These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.“

— Leviticus 11:9-12.

Fish which do not have fins and scales are bottom feeders and scavengers. They collect wastes and toxins from the bottoms of the oceans. They are the cleanup crew of the environmental world. Scientists have discovered that fish with scales and fins are equipped with a digestive system that prevents the absorption of toxins into their flesh.

While the majority of fish have both fins and scales, many of the popular options, including shrimp, crab, lobster, mussels and squid are fin or scale-free, and thus they are forbidden. These bottom-feeders are full of toxins, and they are the only fish with LDL cholesterol. God was even correct about fish. He knew about cholesterol 6,000 years ago, without the aid of science.

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.“

— Isaiah 7:14-15

Butter’s Nutrition

  • It is rich in selenium, a powerful anti-oxidant that neutralizes toxic heavy metals.
  • It contains iodine, which is a very common deficiency.
  • It is a rich source of easily absorbed vitamin A, which is needed for a wide range of functions, from maintaining good vision to keeping the endocrine system in good shape.
  • Butter contains all of the fat-soluble vitamins (E,K and D).
  • It is rich in butyric acid, which is used by the colon as an energy source, and it has been identified as an anti-carcinogen.
  • Lauric acid from butter is a potent anti-microbial and anti-fungal substance (kills candida and boosts immune system).
  • Butter provides conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which provides even more protection against cancer.
  • Butter contains glycospingolipids which protect against gastrointestinal infections, especially in the very young and elderly.

Only naturally-occurring vitamins like those in butter can be readily absorbed by the body. Your body knows the difference between natural vitamins and the synthetic ones, even when chemists do not. Synthetic vitamins added to “enrich” many foods (like artificial butters) are not only practically useless, but they actually stress the body, since the body correctly identifies them as unnatural, potentially toxic substances, which should be flushed. In choosing the foods for his child (butter and honey), God was sure to point out the best.

Honey is composed primarily of carbohydrates and water, and it also contains small amounts of an important array of vitamins and minerals, including niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Honey contains a variety of flavonoids and phenolic acids which act as anti-oxidants: scavenging and eliminating free radicals. The carbohydrate blend in honey is well-suited to sustain ideal blood sugar concentrations after strenuous physical activity. The potent anti-bacterial activity of honey has been used to keep wounds free from infection, while the anti-inflammatory attributes reduce pain and improve circulation; hastening healing processes. Honey stimulates the growth of tissue involved in healing. It also boosts the immune system, while decreasing allergic reactions with its naturally-occurring antihistamines. It does not cause the dramatic spikes in the blood sugar of diabetics that most other sweeteners do.

Switching to olive oil and butter may be among the best ways to fend off not only heart disease, but cancer as well — another well known side effect of these man made oils and fats. Most modern studies confirm this, but you will have to dig to find them, because the food industry and the medical establishment ignores them. It is difficult to know how much of this behavior is influenced by professional arrogance, years of brainwashing, or how much of it is just old fashioned greed.

“For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey“

— Deuteronomy 8:7-8

Olive oil was once scorned by the orthodox medical establishment, but it has recently become a recommendation. Olive oil contains cancer-fighting properties and its consumption leads to more efficient cardiac contractions. It contains large amounts of omega 3 and anti-oxidants. Spanish research shows that olive oil will prevent colon cancer. Coconut oil is the only oil that matches olive oil for health benefits, but coconut oil quickly becomes rancid when heated.

If we ate all of our foods as God commanded in the Bible, then we would undoubtedly be much healthier and happier. It has probably been noticed whilst reading this article that the forbidden foods tend to be scavengers, who spend their lives consuming toxic materials and wastes. Whether it be pigs or shrimp God knew well before we did that these were not good for our health. Repeatedly reassuring his love throughout the Bible, he set unerring rules that we must follow to avoid self-injury.

Much like with our own children, God probably just looks down on us shaking his head quite often expecting us to get hurt each time we fail to listen. God did not create these rules just to give us something to follow, but because he had good reasons for everything. Some of those reasons have been outlined here. Perhaps you will think twice before eating one of the forbidden foods the next time you are tempted, and be assured that there will eventually be a price to pay if you ignore the rules
