HEALTH NEWS ~ JULY

Eating healthy is my passion and I love to collect and try new recipes.  I have over 1700 recipes on my computer “cookbook”.  Eating healthy doesn’t mean the food has to taste bad.  The Recipe of the month is Alfredo. It is simple, easy and very tasty. 

Creamy Alfredo Sauce
½ c. raw cashews
1 ¼ c. water
1 T. unbleached white flour
1 T. chicken seasoning, vegan
¼ t. onion powder
½ t. real salt
1 t. basil

Blend cashews, flour, seasoning, onion powder, salt and water until creamy.  Pour blended mixture into saucepan and bring to a slow boil.  Add basil and remove from heat.  Ladle over cooked fettuccine noodles and serve with steamed broccoli pieces and a fresh salad.

God wants us to be healthy. In 3John 2 it says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 

Isn’t that wonderful?  God wants us to be in good health. He does not want us to be sick and that is why He gave us such wonderful counsel on how to eat, when to eat and what to eat. Read Genesis 1:29.

Also, if you are interested in getting a vegan digital cookbook, I sell them. I have over 3000 recipes on it and it is only $15.00 plus shipping. (Usually $2-3, depending on where you live).

What we eat really does affect our health and moral strength and our usefulness in this world.

Actually we are told just that in our inspired writings of Ellen White. She says the following in Child Guidance on page 398. “True temperance teaches us to dispense entirely with everything hurtful, and to use judiciously that which is healthful.  There are few who realize as they should how much their habits of diet have to do with their health, their character, their usefulness in this world, and their eternal Destiny. The appetite should ever be in subjection to the moral and intellectual powers.  The body should be servant to the mind, and not the mind to the body.”

Interesting Fact:  Because of crowded, dirty conditions, more than 80% of the pigs bred in the U.S. have contracted pneumonia by the time they are slaughtered. 

Researchers found that people who eat the most processed meats (bacon, ham, bologna etc.) have a 68% higher risk of pancreatic cancer than those who eat the least of those meats.

Thank you God for healthy foods and a country that freely supplies them!  

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

God Bless America!
