The goal of this review is to evaluate Dr. Cherry’s “revelation” in view of Scripture — to see if he has indeed discovered the Bible’s pathway to healing. At Reformed Health, we make a similar bold claim: The Bible has the answers for health and healing (physical, spiritual, and emotional). We also provide a step-by-step plan for healing. Have we come to the same conclusions about what the Bible says about health?
Here is a great recipe if you want to sneak some beets into your diet. Making Organic Chocolate Beet Cake is not as simple as some of the recipes on Reformed Health — but it is so worth it. “Healthy” chocolate cake that tastes like the kind you grew up on is not necessarily attainable — but there are ways to make it healthier, and this recipe nails it.
The average healthy human can walk approximately 16-20 miles per day — and throughout history — this is exactly what mankind has done to get from destination to destination. Even in our own country, prior to WW2, people walked an average of two hours per day. It is no coincidence that God gave us two legs to keep us mobile. We have been created to move. Created to walk as part of our life.
When my daughter came for a visit around her birthday, I made an amazing Chocolate Beet Cake. I will be putting that recipe up soon. It is not low fat or low calorie — especially with the decadent Chocolate Frosting I put on top (that recipe can be found here). But I ate as much as I wanted. We also went out to pizza and enjoyed other nice meals together. I ate all these foods without “going off” my diet. Yes, I had to account for what I ate. But I didn’t feel guilty. I didn’t feel like I was cheating. I was just enjoying my family with good food.
With the growing availability of affordable organic food — there is no excuse to not make the full switch to 100% organic. Throw out all those processed, additive laden, pesticide filled products and fill up your pantry with wholesome, life-giving food. You’ll be glad you did.
You CAN afford to eat organic, but you CAN’T afford not to.
Have you ever blamed Adam and Eve for the fact that you have to work for a living? Well…if you have…your probably not alone. But the question has to be asked. Did the idea of work really begin after the curse? Or was it something that God had built into His perfect created order?
I am not one to make New Year’s resolutions — but sometimes the job still needs to get done. When I weighed myself at the beginning of the year and saw a whopping 185 pounds on the scale — I knew it was time to make some changes. There is only one method of dieting that works for me: energy in must be less than energy out. On the other hand, I know this is a recipe for disaster if I can’t eat and enjoy all the foods I love.
The chocolate buttercream frosting recipe could be made with coconut oil (and coconut milk) if you wanted a vegan variety, but it gets too hard in the refrigerator and too soft at room temperature. A compromise would be to store the cake in the fridge, but let it sit on the counter an hour or so before serving. But, I prefer butter in this recipe.
God has designed us to live, work, and enjoy His creation outdoors. We are designed to breathe fresh air, not the stagnant and often dirty air found inside our homes. And by design, we are made to enjoy a healthy moderate dose of sunlight exposure on a regular basis. Let’s not despise this wonderful gift that God has given. Let’s also remember to sift everything through the filter of God’s word. Science is always in discovery mode. The Bible is fixed eternally in heaven.
