Health And Nutrition, Segment 12

Hello World:
This post will conclude my health and nutrition series, in this year of 2011, which is linked to posts on this topic from back in 2010. This is an extremely long post, because I was led of the Lord to add more things in it, and I promised everybody that I would have 12 health and nutrition segments. So, I did not want to split this one into another one. I want to mention that in "Health And Nutrition, Segment 10" post, dated back on October, 11, 2011, I made an edit. In segment 10, I added some information on Monosodium glutamate or MSG. I was led of the Lord to go back and mention that MSG is classified as a excitotoxin, which is VERY DANGEROUS or BAD for people. Some people may want to go back to read that, and do further research into MSG; and again beware of certain kinds of ingredients in food, especially processed and packaged food.

Colors on or in the body are important. White, Pale, yellow and blue on the lips, in the eyes or skin around the eyes, in the fingernails, and the skin in general, are key colors that are SIGNS that a person is having problems with a major organ in their body, such as your heart, liver and lungs or that a person is suffering a blood disorder.

Cleaning and eating fresh fruits and vegetables is another way to prevent cancer, and fight off existing cancer. The more natural the person's diet, the more healthier the person and LESS likely the person will get cancer. Smoking is very, very bad. Cigarette or cigar smoke is poisonous to humans and is a pollutant in the air. Cigarette smoke or cigar smoke should be avoided at all times. Smoking can cause lung, mouth and throat cancers. When a person smokes, they slow-cook their lungs, and parts of their digestive tract and immune system.

Smoking can kill the smoker and everybody around or next to the person doing the smoking. I might or might not elaborate more on the deadly sin of smoking in a later post topic, depending on how much of everything else I will be saying. Just in case I do not say more about smoking later I will say this; Cigarette or cigar smoking or smoking ANYTHING SIMILAR is ONE of the worst things, and ONE of the worst sins that a person can commit.

Also, want to edit in here, that people should AVOID or NOT TAKE sleeping pills or drugs that are designed to help someone sleep. I believe there is a strong risk that a person, may not wake up, and can die if they take sleeping pills in excess. Go to sleep naturally. If you work hard throughout the day, you will get tired and your body will naturally go to sleep. However, be careful working too hard all the time. Some jobs, or place of work and employment are big culprits in making people's body get older faster or age faster than normal, which also is NOT a good thing.

Again, back to being able to sleep, drinking a warm beverage with milk, and also sometimes eating, tends to help people go to sleep. Again, the point is when it comes to sleep, go with natural means. I want to add in here, WOMEN, BEWARE of birth control pills. Birth control pills have the potential to cause blood clots in various parts or areas of the body. Blood clots can cause strokes and death. Try to avoid birth control pills, or check with a doctor. There are natural ways and techniques to have birth control.

Another thing, vitamins and minerals ARE NOT drugs. Vitamins and minerals, are natural elements that are essential to the human body and are naturally created by God to be able to link to and be used or processed by other natural or biological organisms. Vitamins and minerals can naturally come from foods or be manufactured in pill form, but in BOTH cases, the human body absorbs and processes or uses vitamins and minerals to be healthy. Vitamins and minerals, NATURALLY, promote normal body functions.

Drugs on the other hand, although some are naturally occurring, many are man-made or a artificially created or altered, from their natural molecular state. Both natural and artificially manufactured drugs tend to alter the human body's natural or normal processes. Because of that altering of the human body, there are greater risks of problems with drugs.

While some drugs can help, relieve and even heal the human body, some can hurt the human body more than vitamins and minerals, because the body does not naturally relate to drugs, as it does vitamins and minerals. ALL drugs are NOT bad and it is SOMETIMES necessary to take certain drugs for pain and healing. However, the human body is not created or designed to live on drugs, again, like it is designed to live on vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals taken in the RIGHT QUANTITIES are always beneficial for the human body.

Concerning additional vitamin information, Biotin is good for the hair, because it prevents you from going bald. Vitamin E is a good anti-aging vitamin for keeping your veins and arteries elastic or flexible in the circulatory system. In other words, with vitamin E, your circulatory system, which function by circulating the blood and filtering the blood and oxygenated red blood cells throughout your body, does not become brittle and broken down, inflamation is reduced or stopped, and your body, INTERNALLY, does not age as rapidly. Vitamin E is also good on the outside of your body for your skin; keeping your skin smooth, hydrated and elastic.

Another important vitamin and mineral of note are vitamin C and Zinc, both for strengthening your immune system and repairing on the cellular level. Between 25 to 50 mgs of zinc, daily, is also good for the male reproductive system. Do NOT take more than 50 mgs of zinc, as higher dosages can be toxic. Zinc taken at the low levels of 50 mgs or less, daily is a beneficial mineral. Also, the vitamin Folic acid is good for the male reproductive system.

Speaking of folic acid, ALL WOMEN should make sure they take the SPECIFIC vitamin folic acid,  every day if possible, before they get pregnant and during pregnancy. Folic Acid prevents the child from becoming deformed. Folic Acid also prevents still born or prevents the baby from dying before or at birth. Folic Acid is EXTREMELY important in fetal developement, and for having a living, healthy baby.

There are many other vitamins and minerals the body needs, that are not found in sufficient amounts in any diet. Some vitamins do adversely react to some medications.

So, if you are on medication of any kind, you should consult with your doctor about taking certain vitamins. You can take too much of certain vitamins, so you need to know the right dosages also. If you are not sure, it is better to take a minimum dosage in comparison to a maximum. Taking a little or a small amount is better than nothing at all. Seperately, pregnant women also need to be careful and NOT take certain medications if they are pregnant, and need to ask a doctor about that.

A few other quick points, is I want to mention some more about the skin. There are several TV programs and advertisements out there about skin products that reduces wrinkles, hydrate the skin and that make people look youthful. You see a lot of skin products for women. Those are okay, and if you can afford those products, However, if you eat relatively healthy foods, and take vitamin and mineral suppliments you should have healthy, and youthful skin. If you are consistently putting healthy things inside your body to process, you should show it on the outside with healthy skin.

I saw someone take a skin aging test, where the skin is tested by pinching it out, and seeing how long it takes to revert back smooth. Well, the person did not fair well. their skin took some time to go back to smoothness after the pinch. They put a special moisturizer product on their skin, to live-in back up the skin and bring some youthfullness to it. I did that same pinch test on my skin, with no moisturizering product, and my skin smoothed back immediately showing youthfullness. Also, women who smoke will make their skin and face age RAPIDLY, and they look older than they really are.

Some more very important things I need to tell everybody about health and nutrition. Doctors are fine and okay, but I want to tell everybody that Jesus Christ is the best doctor. Jesus Christ when He was being crucified on the cross, and conquering death made the way through Him, for those who believe, to be healed of every and all kinds of sicknesses, ailments, diseases, etc.

There are people who may have terminal or supposedly incurable cancer; or there are people who have the stage 4 or the final stage of cancer. The doctor may have told the person, there is nothing more they can do, or they have tried everything, or there is no hope. However, I got to tell you there is hope in Jesus Christ. There is hope for that person, THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU in God and through His Son, Jesus and by His Power, to be healed, to be delivered and to be set free.

I believe in prayer to God, for healing in Jesus name. I believe in healing and miracles. I want to encourage others to believe also in God that He would heal them. Still go to the human doctor if you have to; be smart and practical about your condition, but all the time whether you are seeing the doctor or not, still have faith in God and continue in prayer, believing God for what you want Him to do for you in that situation. Put God first, before the human doctor, and trust God and do NOT give up on God. Human doctors can be a credible source to confirm that a person has been healed by God.

Scripture reference Isaiah Chapter 53: Verse 4; "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."

Verse 5; "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquites: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Those scriptures from the book of Isaiah are a prophecy from the prophet Isaiah about Jesus Christ that was fulfilled in His life on earth and at and on the cross. The point of those scriptures in regards to health and nutrition is several things. Jesus Christ not only died and rose to take away our sins. He was also beaten and bruised and whipped and shamed for any sicknesses and diseases that we may suffer. Every kind of healing that we need, whether it is spiritual, physical, psychological, or whatever you can think of, Jesus took it with Him to and on the cross. He even took on death on the cross.

Because of the shame and the persecution that he endured, He had no peace, and was chastised, that way, for us to have peace. By His stripes from the whips and the beating He took from the soldiers; the piercing in His side, the spitting, and the nail prints in His hands, wrist and ankles, plus the crown of thorns that cut His head, were for us to be healed of all the illnesses, sicknesses, diseases and injuries, again both physical, mental and spiritual.

Jesus already had power over sickness and death and the grave, before the cross, but when He died on the cross and rose from the dead, He conquered over sin, death, the grave, sickness, disease and injuries for the rest of us who will receive it. Healing is a part of the salvation package through Jesus Christ from God. There is power to heal in the PERSON, in the SPIRIT, in the WORDS, in the BLOOD and in the NAME of Jesus Christ. So, whatever problem or healing a person needs, they should believe in the Power of God through Jesus Christ.
