My wife and I just finished enjoying some fresh figs and they were amazing. It had been years since enjoying these tasty jewels and were not not disappointed. Food is for our enjoyment but we have thrown caution tot he wind in our food choices. This leads us to ask, “What’s in your stomach?”
It makes a huge deal what we are consuming in our over-all health, our energy levels, and 
in our susceptibility to illnesses. We do strongly believe that the Lord has provided us with the gift of wholeness and health, but we should be cooperating with Him by taking a look at our food selections.
We live in an age where processed and artificial foods reign and you may even get some raised eyebrows and jokes about eating organic foods or eating spring mix. We excitedly suggest that some thought needs to be put towards the quality of food products in our homes and consequently in our stomachs.
Your bodies’ cells regenerate at different rates but they pull the nutrients from what you digest to make new cells. Your skin completely regenerates itself approximately every month. Your blood cells get renewed every 4 months. Some studies say that your body generates a new complete system every 7- 10 years. There are some cells that stay with us most of our lives like our brain cells and heart cells.
The point is that the decisions we make daily of what we eat will have an impact on the quality of our lives, for better or for worse. There is so much for us to accomplish in this life for the Lord and we don’t want to be laid out fighting off illnesses when we can be getting more amazing things done for the kingdom.
Next time that twinkie comes calling your name, stop for a moment and think about those poor cells that had little to work with when the time came for them to be replaced. All joking aside, everyone can easily add a fruit here and a carrot there and a leafy green here and an apple there.
