The 10 Commandments of Health

1. Thou shalt remember you are bought with a price.

 shall be long on the earth. Ex. 20:12

 

3. Thou shalt have a merry heart, for it does good like a medicine [cure]. Prov. 17:22

 

4. Thou shalt not use food as your comforter

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:13   Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

 

5. Thou shalt eat all things in moderation

1 Cor. 9:25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.

9. Thou shalt eat foods created by God not man

Psalms 104:14  He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; Gen. 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

 

10. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul and mind
