Health Tips

Everywhere people are talking about health. Newspaper advertisements on slimming, hair care, skin care, healthy foods, right vitamins, etc. are predominant. What to eat, what not to eat? How to lose 10 kg in 5 days? How to look younger? One of the favorite television programs these days – "The Biggest Loser" And even our Government of recent has been conveying their concern about need of Malaysians to cut down on sugar. And of course don’t forget the various exercise machines.

All this is important because we definitely need to take care of our physical body but people don’t realize that man is a three part being – body, spirit and soul. And so many times our spiritual, emotional and mental conditions affect our body and yet we don’t deal with it.

God’s desire is that all of us may prosper in all things, be in good health even as our soul prospers (3 Jn.2). So God wants you to be healthy. Yes, He wants to heal you because He is your healer (Ex.15:26). But He also wants you to be healthy.

What are the Health Tips from the Bible? Here are some.

1) Relating to God
Pro.3:5-8 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.

Learn to trust God, pray, fear Him and depart from evil. Have a personal relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ

2) Receiving and Obeying God’s Word (the Bible)
Prov.4:20-22 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
Jos.1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

To walk in good health we need to:

• Give attention to God’s Word
• Incline your ears to God’s Word
• Do not let them depart from your eyes
• Keep them in the midst of your heart

3) Being careful of our speech
Pro.13:3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
Prov.16:24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

What you sow is what you reap. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. To walk in health, learn to speak graciously.

4) Having a joyful attitude
Prov.17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Always have a happy and pleasant disposition

And of course. Please live a healthy lifestyle of proper rest, the right food and proper exercise.

Do take care of your health
