Improve Quality of Life: Cut Down on Sugar Intake

In my last post I mentioned rising health problems due to poor diets. Today a NY Times article features what NYC health officials are calling an 'epidemic' claiming that more than 1 in 8 people in New York have diabetes.

It is not far fetched to believe that spiritual and physical problems can be related to one another. It is entirely plausible that we eat so poorly because we have so little health in our souls that satisfies and sustains us. Having needs not met by soul nourishment we run to the 'frig for a quick fix rather than being nurished with the substance of God's Word and Truth.

NY Times Quote of the Day:
"I will go out on a limb and say 20 years from now people will look back and say: 'What were they thinking? They're in the middle of an epidemic and kids are watching 20,000 hours of commercials for junk food.'"DR. THOMAS R. FRIEDEN, New York City health commissioner, on diabetes.
