In today’s world of diets it’s hard to figure out what to eat. People looking for a “quick buck” will push almost anything. Food suppliers are looking for cheaper ways of producing food as well. So, what is actually in the food most of us Americans are eating? Well, the simple answer is sugar. That’s why we’re all so sweet.

Our food has drifted from the nutritional elements that used to be part of our diet. You see, we need 157+ nutrients daily as minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, and antioxidants. The American diet has substituted this nutrition for speed, convenience, and price. The amusing thing here is it increases our apatite as we slowly starve for essential nutrition and some of us start eating.

What would happen if we kept adding gasoline to a failing engine? Soon it might start wasting gas in some form. Then it might slow down, burning less fuel. Then it might seize causing a need for a bigger storage tank. Now let’s say we have trillions of these engines in our employ. A few have seized many are failing, the ones working are calling for more fuel over filling the tanks of the seized and slow running engines. And we wonder why we’re gaining weight.

So we are what we eat. When we don’t eat the raw materials to repair our bodies while engorging on sugar (aka carbs and nutrient poor foods) we become what we ate instead of burning it… fat.

Most of us know of or have heard of the “fight or flight” response. Some of us may have even heard of the “rest and digest” stage. However, more rare is the “fast and heal” posture. These three stages are like “gears” in our blood “transmission”. In the “fight or flight” gear our blood is found in our muscles and brain. In “rest and digest” gear our blood is in our gut and organs. And the last gear, “fast and heal”, is the gear most of us rarely use. In this gear our blood is in our organs and damaged tissues healing them.

Each of these gears has requirements for maximum performance. When we follow the correct shifting pattern combined with the best maintenance schedule we can achieve strength in both mind and body.

We find that God knows us. He created us. In His scriptures we find outlined eating habits to adopt; sleeping habits to use; and fasting schedules to heal us mind and body. Are we not temples of the Lord?

We aren’t going to prod you for information or hound you for money to be a part of us. We’re looking for people that are seeking real security and are willing to exercise their God given gift of agency to be part of our knowledge pool.
