Bread Class

Saturday I and my friend Melanie had the privilege of attending a bread class put on by the writer of treasures of healthy living. It was fabulous . The bread she made was so delicious.
One of the things she shared was so outstanding and such a realization of why we are all so sick in America.
the amount of nutrients lost in bread because they want to sit on the self and not go bad , which if you haven't noticed it doesn't mold , that is grossing me out food is meant to go bad not sit for months. yuck!

here are some facts:

milled whole wheat flour has Lost in white flour
Thiamine (B-1) 77%
Riboflavin(B2 67%
Niacin B3 81%
Vitamin E 86 %
Fiber 89%


This is just part of the list of what we lack in our diets from eating processed bread .
Making bread is so enjoyable and it cost soooo much less . It cost around $1 a loaf. I pay almost 4 for what i hope is real whole wheat which it isn't really and it has so much junk added it doesn't mold. so i wonder what it does in my body???
pictures to come.

Tresures of healthy Living

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world John 6:33

God is the giver of life most importantly our eternal life , Jesus Died so we could live a life with him in eternity . He loves us so much he wants to be with us.

He also gives us life through the foods he created and gave to us for health.


I have been and will be doing this fabulous bible study called Treasures of healthy living , written by
Annette Reeder
her website is http://www.designedhealthyliving.com/

God has used this study so much. For so much of my life i felt it was selfish to take care of myself , however there are so many scriptures that he says body and soul.
'May God himself,the God of peace sanctify you though and through, may your whole spirit soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23'

Not only does he care about our souls but our bodies are his temple and we have believed the the world that all things are food. and let me tell you the more i study and learn there is very little real food in the store.
in the very beginning of this study i had been praying for God to help me be less angry and frustrated and gentle and just a few days in to the study she wrote how it amazed her how being physically out of balance transferred to every area of her life, especially family relationships. and as they became more healthy her home became more peaceful. It was an awe moment for me it was my answer i Had been praying for . my health is the problem and God has a plan in his word.
I hope you will look in his word and find health for you body and soul.

if you have any questions please ask I will do my best to help guide you to true health.

sugar

I am on a search to understand sugar. There are so many different kinds, cane sugar, sucanat, honey, artificial (which I know are awful for you). And today i just learned there is beet sugar and that most is a GMO (gentically modified ). I am so disheartened by where we have come as a nation. back to the subject. Sugar. it taste so good but it is not so good for the body we gain more weight from it and it sure makes my blood sugar horrible. So i am on a quest to figure it all out.
Today i read a good article on beet sugar which has lead me down new paths. here is a link to the article.

What this blog is about

I have been encouraged to write a blog about my growing knowledge of healthy eating and living. I am looking forward to sharing with others the greatness of health. I have been on this journey a long time.
Many years ago I thought I wanted to be a dietition but God had me die to that dream and told me i would learn nutrition in another way and this last year he has taken the little i had known and is expanding it by leaps and bounds.
January 1 st our family wnet on a sugar fast and my health has greatly increased . I was so adicted to sugar it was like being addicted to street drugs. Sugar is not good for us and our society is so addicted because it taste so good but if you were to take a break from it you will be amazed by how much more energy you will have its amaing. Today is my sons birthday and we have had sugar today and i feel awful and can not wait to start fresh in the morning sugar free eating healthy foods and drinking green drinks.

In this blog i will be posting reviews of food documenrties, recipes, insight into foods , how to grow your own healthy food and much more. I hope you enjoy and begin to live the healthy Life the Lord has for you when we follow his plan.
