The right balance of these foods, together with proper exercise, work, play and rest should provide us with balanced lives. If we are physically fit and healthy, we go a long way towards being healthy of mind too. It would seem that a degree of discrimination is in order. Another area of contention is that of wine and alcohol of all kinds. Again, the Bible is clear.
Medical science states that regular alcohol consumption reduces the risk of heart attacks.
Like everything else, it is the abuse of the substance that is condemned, both biblically and scientifically. It is not suggested that meat and wine must be consumed every meal or even every day. However, by using all the wonderful variety of fruits, vegetables, meats and plants that God has provided for us, we can enjoy the quality of life intended for us. It is interesting to note studies in the USA of people who have lived beyond 100 years old. These people ate meat, drank alcohol and worked hard.
