Curative Power of Healing Foods

There is a strong connection between natural or healing foods and divine health and healing. According to biblical history, men of ancient times got to live very long. Ever wonder why? For example Adam, the first man lived to be 930 years old. His first son Seth lived to be 912 years old and his grandson Enosh lived for 905 years old. His other grandson Kenan died at 910 years of age and his great grandson lived to be 895 years. Methuselah, Noah’s grandfather lived the longest at 969 years of age.

How did they get to live so long without modern medicine? The answer is that men of old ate natural foods. This is the only kind of food they had to eat and it sustained and nourished their bodies to stay alive for all those years. It helped ofcourse that sometimes they got to talk to God face to face. Sure, times are different, but what your body needs to survive and live long are not.

Here is another one, it appears in the book of Daniel chapter 1 and verses 1-16. In the story, the king had a special task for Daniel and his friends and wanted them well fed and ready before they began the important work. But Daniel and friends refused the offer to eat the same food given to the king of Babylon because they remembered God's recommendations about food. Although the king's food was rich according to his standards and desires, it did not meet the standard recommended for the body by God. So, Daniel and friends had a better idea.

Instead, they challenged the king's officials to a contest to see which group of kingdom workers would look better after only ten days on two different diet plans. Daniel's group chose a diet of healthy foods consisting of vegetables for ten days while the other group happily indulged themselves on the "the king's choice foods". At the end of this contest, the difference between the groups was distinguishable to the satisfaction (and no doubt) amazement of the king's official. Daniel and his friends came up looking much healthier and stronger than the others. As it turned out, they were eventually found to be more fit for the special work of the kingdom.
