Food is necessary to live, but it is also used to celebrate life events, such as the Wedding in Canaan, Passover, and in our own times to celebrate births, weddings, even death. As Lent begins, it is important to remember what gifts God the Father has given to his people, among them is the choice of food. As sinners, it is easy for us to overindulge in food and drink. We often are reminded of this with weight gain, indigestion among many other undesirable side effects. Now is a good time to remind you to think of moderation.
All food can be good in moderation, but all food can be bad if used in excess.
Remind yourself of your body s need for a variety of healthy foods to fulfill its requirements to maintain. There are many guidelines out there to assist with planning good nutrition. The food pyramid is one of them. Choices of grains and breads, fruits and vegetables, meat, milk and fats are all included. Eating for good health and eating to control weight are virtually the same.
