Would you like to be more healthy in 2010 than you were in 2009?
If yes, you are cordially invited to join the hundreds of people who will be participating in an initiative that can help you - its participant - achieve better health. It is called, "The Daniel's Diet: 10 Days to Look and Feel Healthier in 2010." This diet-program is based on the experience of 4 adolescents - Daniel and his friends - who rejected the standard diet of their days, choosing instead to follow God's diet. Their diet consisted of pulse and water. What is pulse and water? See the file entitled, "The Four Food Groups," provided in the link on the right side of this screen.
The story of Daniel and his friends is recorded in Daniel chapter 1 of the Holy Bible:
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself" (Dan. 1:8). Daniel could not eat the royal food because it was contrary to God's diet found in Leviticus and also the food was probably offered to idols. God blessed Daniel's decision and gave him favor with the king's official, according to Dan. 1:9. So Daniel never had to eat the king's diet, and he was able to eat the healthy plant-based diet of his choosing instead.
The amazing part of this story is that ten days later, the four boys were feeling and looking healthier than those who ate the king's diet, and their better health was very noticeable. They also passed their college final exam with distinction, highest honors. Isn't it true that when we are faithful, God will grant us favor? God's favor is the shortest route to success in this life, and it prepares us for the life to come.
