Nutrition for Health and Eternity

Posted by Fit For Jesus! on June 5, 2009

Energy is awesome.  Feeling energetic… even better!

As a Christian, the personal benefits of feeling energetic are numerous.  But not only are they plentiful, the benefits of feeling great are powerful and even potentially eternal!

Consider these benefits and advantages:

• Feeling physical energy makes you happier.  When you are happier, you will naturally smile more and laugh more.  Smiles and laughter are attractive and contagious (no matter what your worldly appearance may be).
• Being energetic helps you be more active.  Believe it or not, more activity creates more energy.  It’s a powerful, positive cycle that becomes self-motivating.  And, of course, more activity equals better health!
• Your mind thinks more clearly and intelligently when you experience high energy.  When your mind is clear and intelligent, you are more productive, positive, and naturally lift more people’s spirits.
• Greater energy equals greater confidence!  Confidence helps you achieve more (even with small, daily activities), speak more, reach out and influence more.  Again, confidence attracts people who need strength and support, which leads to opportunities to be a shining example of Jesus Christ to the world.

Energy is powerful.  And because of the natural opportunities that being energetic attracts, possessing high levels of energy can have eternal rewards.  Now, obviously as Christians, we have to respond to this higher energy appropriately when God places opportunities in front of us, but we are going to assume, for this article, that your heart is filled with the desire to be like Christ in everything you can do.

So… possessing high levels of energy is important for our health and potentially for the eternal future of someone God places in our path.  The question, therefore, is this:  what can we do to get it?

Consistent, high quality energy comes from 3 sources: WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

“Simple” is good, especially when the goal is to get closer to Christ and/or lose weight.

Way too many people try to make a relationship with Jesus Christ difficult and complicated.  Weight loss and fitness is no different, proven by diets that require an exact percentage of macronutrients at each meal or exercise programs that require complex programming, sequencing, timing, etc.

Albert Einstein said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”  In other words, “simple” is good, but you must, at the very least, have the mandatory ingredients for success.

As with most topics in life, the application of a few basic, simple principles or skills will bring about the vast majority of your results.  If I had to summarize what I feel are the top 7 action steps you and I can do to get closer to Christ right NOW, they would be: WAIT!
