SHAPE UP SAINTS: We Are At War! By brother dino It’s important to eat right, drink lots of water, exercise and get good sleep in order to stay healthy, think clearly and perform the work of the ministry. Here is an overview of The Mediterranean Diet, which is approved by The Mayo Clinic and very similar to what our Lord Jesus and His Disciples ate! And remember that this is a stepping stone to The Makers Diet (by Jordan Rubin makers-diet.net and makersdiet) of completely Organic Kosher Foods that Eloheim (God) gave to The Hebrew People in The Bible, which is the very best diet there is. Because, who knows what is best for us to eat, better than Eloheinu (our God)! The Promise Delicious food thats stood the test of time and helps keep you healthy for years to come. Thats at the heart of the traditional Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean Diet Plan includes eating lots of fruits and vegetables, beans and nuts, healthy grains, fish, olive oil, small amounts of meat and dairy and red wine. This Plan also encourages daily exercise, sharing meals with those you love often and enjoying it all with a glass of red wine. Does It Work? This diet scores big for heart health. Studies suggest it can make you less likely to get heart disease, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol and may also help you avoid certain cancers and chronic diseases. For weight loss, you’ll have best results if you get regular daily exercise, and cut back on how much you eat. Studies show it is better and healthier for weight loss than a low-fat diet. What You Can Eat and What You Cant: You’ll eat six small well balanced meals per day at 3 hour intervals, comprised of mostly organic non-GMO plant-based foods, including fruits and vegetables, nuts, berries and seeds, potatoes, whole-grain bread and beans. You can have yogurt, cheese, poultry, and eggs in small portions, because they are high in cholesterol. You should eat fish that has fins and scales at least twice a week, oysters, mussels and clams are good too, but very little or no shrimp or lobster, which are high in cholesterol or crab, which is also high in sodium as well. Good fats get a stamp of approval: Think olives, extra-virgin olive oil, pistachios, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and avocados instead of butter and no margarine or mayonnaise. You’ll use olive oil a lot while cooking. Reach for herbs and spices to add flavor. You can have red meat once a month, but stay away from pork. Beverage: A minimum of 8 eight ounce glasses of Water each day and more is better to a maximum of 1 gallon for women and 2 gallons for men. And Red Wine in moderation (one glass for women, one to two for men) with dinner is encouraged unless you have had a drinking problem in the past. Dessert: Fruits and Berries. Sweets are OK once a week. Level of Effort to Maintain: Low. Its tasty and good for you, though you may have a learning curve at first. Limitations: Very few. The Mediterranean Diet allows plenty of variety and experimentation. Cooking and shopping: Simplify by planning your meals in advance; keeping pantry staples like olive oil, canned tomatoes, whole grains, pasta, and tuna on hand; and shopping for fresh produce and seafood a few times a week. You can easily grill or broil many Mediterranean diet foods. Snacks can be quick and easy, too: Grab a clementine or a handful of nuts or dip whole wheat pita chips into hummus. Packaged Processed foods or meals? None. The diet emphasizes fresh whole foods. Exercise: Being active (walking, running, bicycling and doing things like gardening and yard-work) outdoors every day along with an exercise plan (featuring weight training and aerobics as well as cross-training) three times per week is part of the healthy lifestyle. Is It Good for Health Conditions? Besides helping your heart and improving your cholesterol, the diet may help lower your odds of getting Alzheimers, diabetes, osteoporosis, and depression.
