What we can eat:
“Good Health,” in our bodies, will be greatly enhanced by our finding and preparing healthy, raw foods (soaked and low-temperature-dried-out nuts. Fruits, dried or fresh, raw. Vegetables, raw, fresh, as well as cooked, or dehydrated.) … plus clean meats … to eat with thankfulness in our hearts.
At the end of this article, you will, soon, find some links to articles by others that’ll help you IF you are wanting to know more about “this” way of eating. I agree with it, though our family does not, for now, go as far as eating the vegetarian way.
We *do* eat meats, “clean” meats, according to The Scriptures (The Bible. The Word of Elohim YHVH).
I’d prefer to get all the meats we eat from farms where the animals are pasture-raised, or grass-fed, where they (cows, bison, turkeys, chickens, meat ducks ….) spend the last days of their animal lives “out in the field” eating grass, and such as that. okay? (Please! — no grain-fed meat for me! How about you?)
So, if you want a list of what you can eat for “Good Health,” this may help you:
1. clean meats (“clean,” by YHVH’s standards and instructions) which come from pasture-fed or grass-fed animals (chickens, turkeys, beef cattle, goats or sheep).
Meats also includes such things as the various type of fishes, and birds, and other creatures YHVH told Moshe / Moses to write down as “clean.” The list is long.
If you wish me to type out a list, I would honestly direct you to the verses in Leviticus 11, which speak of the “clean and unclean animals.” (not a quote; just my way of wording that phrase using “quotation marks”) I will hope to type a list of fishes, birds and more “clean meats,” soon.
2. fruits and vegetables you grow yourself.
This way, you avoid any chemical fertilizers and pesticides and herbicides “food store veg and fruits” may have on / in them.
Instead, you’ll use natural, ELohim-designed created things (worm castings, dried-out, aged horse, cow, rabbit, manure, coffee grounds, fish heads ground up … for example — see more info, below) for enhancing the nutrient-depleted soil you may have bought, when you bought your property (or, where you rent) — I will share some suggestions for “good” fertilizers, soon.
IF you live in a place you rent, or IF your outdoor sun-enjoyin,’ usable space is small, no problem! You can enjoy *an abundant harvest* of heirloom, organic, hardy veg and fruits *You Can Grow* in clay- or in recycled- material- pots, or in wooden boxes (you can make the boxes out of “free” pallet wood; use only hardwood or cedar pallet wood, found @ pallet-making businesses). Just think “vertical.” (quite a few *kind* you-tubers share what they did! You’ll see How Easy it is to “grow upward.”)
Fish heads, even ground coffee beans, placed at the base, near your plant’s roots, … can greatly enhance your plants’ growth and give you the “good” results you wanted, … when you planted your seeds or young plants, into your garden or vegetable-growing area. (even in containers and in raised beds)
Of course, many of us do not have the opportunity to grow many vegetables, due to lack of space, or very poor soil, or unbalanced soil ingredients in our area.
You find farmers, or those who buy directly from farmers, or who “are” farmers who sell what they grow, … at farmers’ markets! They will tell you what they’ve used in growing the “fresh foods” you are buying from them, IF you ask.
This will go a long way toward building your “Good Health” in the way you want it built!
3. fruit trees you plant on your property … will be a great way for you to get your fruit!
Of course, many of us do not have the opportunity to grow such trees, though we did (before we had to move from one place to another, as a result of a company closing its doors, bringing us a job lay-off), one year.
I ordered and planted 4 (looked) healthy young apple trees! But, alas, YHVH led our family to see we had to sell the property those were planted on, due to losing a job, with no other job in sight, at that point in time. (frown) It happens.
Fruit trees do need care! There are plenty of websites that you can find which will teach you how to care for your fruit trees responsibly. (smile) However, if you do *not* have a place where you may plant a fruit tree, or the time to wait to eat fruit until those mature enough for that (3 years, in some cases!), you may find you will be blessed if you choose to be open to trying some fruits you did not grow up eating. Pomegranates actually taste very good! I eat the seeds inside. Am still learning about how to eat all of a pomegranate.
Try the fruits your local-area farmers offer at farmers’ markets. These should be good, if you have already “checked out” what are the methods they use in growing their fruit, and (for one example) you may wish to ask “which varieties of apples do you find grow best in this area of the country?” … and eating “fruit in season” has been shown to work with our body’s “circadian rhythms,” which have to do with us living in agreement with how our Creator designed us to live. This “way of thinking” includes living according to the design for day and night: we are to be active, awake and doing some right, positive things, during the day; and, we are to be inactive, at rest, sleeping, which is also the right and positive thing to do. Our bodies are designed to work in harmony with our Creator’s design for us, in sleeping when it’s dark, and in waking, eating, working, even with short periods of rest, when the sun is up (even though it may not be shining).
4. Why have I waited until “near the end” to mention breads? I have done that only because it has been shown that if we eat (quite a lot) less bread type products, as a regular practice, our health will reflect this … in improving. (yay!) That statement does not mean I think that bread is evil or wrong to eat. But as one who really “likes” eating bread and bread-type products, even if they are made from scratch by my own hands using what I’d call healthy ingredients, … this is good advice for me. But, this is a personal choice, of sorts. It has just been proven to help the health of people who, for example, have had cancer, or have been close to, or have been diagnosed as, diabetic, or who tend to have allergies to some foods, or who tend to pick up weight they “do not want.” (if they “do” eat bread – type food products)
The types of breads one eats, and who has baked them using which types of ingredients, and what types of leavening is used, and how often one eats breads, and how they are “baked,”… are some considerations you should think about, when hoping to improve your health.
Though I am not sharing links with you, today, I do hope to, soon, friends. Thank you for your patience with me!
Shalom!
