God's Health Plan


God's health plan includes eating fruits, vegetables, seeds, grains,
and "small" amount of animal substance such as fish & poultry.

FOODS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE ARE:

1.) meats, "without blood or fat", from animals with divided hooves, or
animals that are cud-chewing, such as beef or veal, goat, lamb, venison,
quail, partridge, game birds, and other poultry
(Gen.9:3; Lev. 7:22; 1:2-3)

2.) fish with scales (Lev. 11:9; Deut. 14:9)

3.) Olive Oil (2 Kings 18:32)

4.) Vegetables such as beans, cucumbers, garlic, leeks, lentils, olives,
and onions (Num. 11:5; Ezek. 4:9)

5.) Fruits such as apples, figs, grapes, melons, pomegranates, raisins,
and wine (Deut. 8:7-9; Song 2:5; John 15: Num. 11:5)

6.) Grains such as barley, millet, spelt, and wheat (Ezek. 4:9)

7.) Dairy products, including butter, cheese, surds, yogurt, eggs, and
the milk of cows, sheep, and goats (Isa. 7:15,22; Prov. 27:27)

8.) Honey, pistachio nuts, and almonds (Gen. 43:11)

9.) Bread (Ezek. 4:9)

10.) Condiments and spices, such as anise, bitter herbs, caraway,
coriander, cumin, mint, mustard, rue, salt, wine vinegar

This basic diet of the ancient Hebrews is to the ideal eating plan
for health.

piece of fresh fruit, and perhaps yogurt or cheese for Breakfast.
