God and the Food Connection                                     

When we get sick, I mean really sick, we pray to God for His help. to heal us from the disease. Then, we sit around waiting on God to come through.

But, God has already told us in many ways how to heal ourselves from most diseases!

First of all, there are thousands of passages in the Bible and other similar books that explain what foods we should be eating if we want to be healthy! But, we ignore these messages, plus, many pastors and church leaders fail to preach any sermons about the Power of God's super foods! Ironically, many pastors, church leaders, and church members continue to suffer unnecessarily with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other diseases!

And, we run to the doctor for a magic pill that just makes us even sicker!

People, we need to wake up!

Now, for those of you who don't read the Bible, there is another way that God has told us how to heal ourselves from most diseases.

God placed His sign on the food -- it's called His "Signature". Signature stands for "Sign of Nature". This philosophy says that plants look like the body part they're meant to heal, nourish and support.

Many scientists call this "sign of nature" philosophy a bunch of hogwash, superstition and mere coincidence. They believe that only their drugs can heal the body! Hmm-mm -- maybe that's hogwash ...

Healthcare professionals in the natural health arena believe God left us these clues on purpose so we could nourish our bodies.

Take a look through the list below and decide for yourself … do raw foods contain clues from God?

	1. Sliced Carrots: They look like the human eye (complete with pupil, iris and radiating lines), and research shows carrots enhance blood flow and function of the eyes.
	2. Tomatoes: Like your heart, a tomato has four chambers and is red. Tomatoes contain lycopene, which is excellent for your heart.
	3. Grapes: A cluster of grapes is shaped like your heart, and each grape could be a blood cell. Science shows that grapes are nourishing for your heart and blood.
	4. Walnuts: These wrinkly nuts look like little brains, which makes sense considering walnuts help develop more than three dozen neurotransmitters for brain function, and are a rich source of brain-healthy Omega-3 fats.
	5. Kidney Beans: Of course these look like your kidneys, and they contain nutrients that can help maintain and heal kidney function. Kidney beans are also an excellent source of the trace mineral, molybdenum. This mineral helps detoxify sulfites, a type of preservative added to many foods (and to which many people are sensitive), from the body.
	6. Celery, Bok Choy and Rhubarb: These and other rigged, ribbed veggies resemble your bones. They are also 23 percent sodium -- just like your bones -- which is important since your body will pull sodium from your bones if it doesn't get enough from your diet.
	7. Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears: Ever notice how these raw foods resemble a woman's womb and cervix? Well, eating one avocado a week has been found to help balance hormones, prevent cervical cancer and help women shed birth weight. Ironically, it also takes nine months for an avocado to grow from blossom to ripened fruit.
	8. Figs: These fruits are full of seeds and hang in twos while growing. They're also known to increase the number and mobility of sperm and help overcome male infertility.
	9. Sweet Potatoes: These veggies look like your pancreas and help to stabilize your blood sugar levels and lower insulin resistance. They're even known as an "anti-diabetic" food.
	10. Olives: Shaped much like a woman's ovaries, olives actually support the function of the ovaries.
	11. Oranges, Grapefruits and Other Citrus: These resemble mammary glands, and the fruits assist the health of the breasts.
	12. Onions: These look like your body's cells, and science shows that onions help to remove waste materials from your body's cells.

Now, for those of you who don't believe in God, there's science! And, scientific studies have demonstrated the power of food and nutrients such as Vitamin C,  Vitamin E, CoQ10, and Omega-3s.
