Avoiding Foods That Cause Problems

What most people do not realize is that almost every physical problem they experience, other than accidents, has a diet related cause.

Because our physical body is designed by God to be nourished with living (raw) foods, it is imperative that the greatest percentage of our daily food intake be composed of raw foods—and that we avoid the foods that are causing the problems in the first place.
Here are a list of foods that are excluded from The Hallelujah Diet. Although this list is far from comprehensive, using it as a guide will help you determine whether or not other foods are beneficial.

Beverages

• Alcohol
• Coffee (grain coffees like Pero and Roma are fine)
• Teas containing caffeine (caffeine-free herb teas are fine)
• Carbonated beverages and soft drinks
• All artificial and sugar containing drinks, sport drinks, and all juices containing preservatives, refined salt, sugar, and artificial sweeteners

Refined sugar suppresses the immune system and prevents its ability to protect us from germs, viruses, and bad bacteria. One 12 oz soft drink contains approximately 11 teaspoons of sugar and if consumed daily for one year, adds 15 pounds of weight.

Dairy

• All milk, cheese, ice cream, whipped toppings, and non-dairy creamers

Cow milk and cheese are some of the most dangerous foods we can place into our body. Read Dr. T. Colin Campbell’s book, The China Study for documentation (it will change your life).

Soy Milk and other Soy Products

• Most soy products should be avoided

Soy is high in estrogen. The estrogen in soy formulas has been known to cause baby girls to develop breast buds as young as two years of age, and the age of puberty, which should be past the age of 15 years, is now as early as 8, 9, and 10 years.
The growth hormones in animal flesh and dairy are also contributing to this problem. Estrogen can be a contributing factor in all female cancers, and the high protein content of soy can actually feed cancers.

Processed Fruits

• Canned and sweetened fruits
• Non-organic and sulfured dried fruits

Refined Grains

• Refined, bleached flour products, most cold breakfast cereals, and white rice

Refined grains are devoid of fiber and thus one of the leading causes of constipation. Animal-source foods are also totally devoid of fiber.

All Meats and Eggs

• Beef, pork, fish, chicken, eggs, turkey, hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, sausage, bologna, etc.

All animal-source foods are harmful to the body and are the cause of up to 90% of all physical problems. Eliminating animal source foods can practically eliminate the fear of having a heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular problems, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, heartburn, gout, acid stomach, and the list goes on and on.

Certain Nuts and Seeds

• All roasted and/or salted seeds and nuts

Peanuts in particular are not a nut but a legume, and very difficult to digest.

Certain Oils

• All lard, margarine, shortenings, and anything containing hydrogenated oils or trans fats

Certain Seasonings

• Refined table salt and any seasonings containing it

Unlike mineral-rich unrefined salt, which is beneficial, refined table salt is devoid of such minerals, containing 97% to 99% sodium chloride. It is a leading cause of high blood pressure. Celtic or Eden Sea Salt, a natural, unrefined salt from the sea, is a good choice.

Certain Soups

• Any canned, packaged, or creamed soups containing salt or dairy products

Certain Sweets

• All refined white or brown sugar (brown sugar is simply refined white sugar with some molasses added for color)
• Sugar syrups
• Chocolate (carob is a wonderful chocolate substitute)
• Candy, gum, cookies, donuts, cakes, pies, or other products containing refined sugars or artificial sweeteners

Acceptable sweeteners include raw unfiltered honey, stevia, agave nectar, and pure maple syrup (use any of these sparingly).

Processed Vegetables

• All canned vegetables with added salt or preservatives
• Vegetables fried in oil

All Drugs

Though these are not foods, most are addictive and very destructive within the body:

• Alcohol
• Nicotine
• Caffeine
• Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc.
• Many over the counter and doctor-prescribed drugs

To Smoke or Not To Smoke

Your body is the temple of God. God lives in you, inside you. It's precious and you have to take care of it as good as you can. Don't burn it with cigarette or you will regret it someday. Smoking is bad for your health and it only brings you nothing but pain in the future. Remember, you will reap what you sow. So please stop smoking.

Please..

Ask God to help you. He will help you and give you strength to totally stop smoking. Cos nothing is impossible for God. And nothing is impossible to those who have faith in God.

Blessings!!

A gift to my world

I am a gift to my world. 

The best thing that I can do is to become a better me. 

The best thing that I can give is the best of me.

I am God's masterpiece. Handmade by His loving hands. Redeemed and healed by His blood. Restored by His mercy. That I may dance joyfully in His grace.

My life is about giving my best to the world and living a legacy. God created me to be the gift to this world.

 

Blessings!

French Fries Recipe

French Fries is a crispy snack made of potato. Everybody loves it. Tapiiii kalo beli kan agak mahal tuh, belum lagi penggunaan pengawet dan penguat rasa yang ga bagus buat kesehatan qta. Sooo mendingan qta bikin sendiri aja dirumah. Cara pembuatannya ga susah kok..

Bahan-bahan:

• Kentang mentah
• 1 cangkir Terigu lencana merah
• Minyak zaitun untuk menggoreng :)
• 1 sdt Paprika bubuk
• 1 sdt Bawang Bombay bubuk
• 1 sdt Garam
• 1 sdt Bawang Putih bubuk
• Air untuk merebus

Cara Pembuatan

1. Kentang dipotong persegi panjang, lalu dicuci sekitar 4-5 kali untuk ngilangin getah kentang. Getah inilah yang membuat kentang cepat lembek setelah di goreng.
2. Setelah air cucian terlihat cukup bening, rendam kentang dengan air dingin.
3. Campur tepung dan semua bumbu ke dalam sebuah mangkok, tambahkan sedikit air sampai terlihat agak mengental.
4. Masukkan kentang satu per satu ke dalam campuran tepung sampai semua tercampur rata.
5. Siapkan minyak panas yang masih baru, goreng kentang hingga seluruhnya terendam minyak. Minyak harus dalam keadaan benar2 panas.
6. Angkat dan beri alas tissue dapur untuk menyerap minyak. 
7. Sajikan, dan siap disantap.

It's easy, right? Anyone can do it at home anytime. Daaan...sehat tentunya karena ga ada bahan kimianya. :) Have a great cook!

Blessings!!

Letters To Juliet

Kalo ada sumur di ladang
Bolehlah qta menumpang mandi
Kalo ada umur yang panjang
Bolehlah qta berjumpa lagi

Kira-kira pantun itulah yg menjelaskan isi cerita film LTJ yang sekitar 2 minggu lalu aku tonton. Filmnya kereeen banget! A very high recommended romantic movie. Belum lagi soundtrack-nya yang top bangeeetss.. I just loved it! Ceritanya tentang sepasang kekasih yang dipisahkan oleh keadaan, waktu dan jarak dan akhirnya bertemu lagi setelah 50 tahun berkat bantuan seorang penulis. 50 tahun!! :) Keduanya sudah jadi opa dan oma loh.. That's just awesome!

I'm not gonna tell you the details cos this is not a movie reference. :) You just have to see it for yourself. Biar penasaran gitchuuu.. @_@

Intinya adalah, if it's true love, nothing can separate you from the one you love. If it's from God, He will lead you to meet your soulmate anywhere, anytime, eventually sekalipun badai menghadang dan ombak menerpa. ^_^ Tidak usah dipaksakan, tidak usah khawatir atau takut tidak bakal menikah dan sebagainya karena Tuhan tahu yang terbaik buat kita, tepat pada waktunya.

Nah sambil menunggu, carilah dahulu kerajaan Elohim dan kebenaranNya, maka semuanya akan ditambahkan padamu. Lakukan yang terbaik buat dirimu sendiri, keluargamu, lingkungan dan buat Tuhan. Dan itu juga yang aku sedang lakukan hari-hari ini. Trying to become a blessing for others dengan caraku sendiri.

Eeeen jangan lupa nonton Letters To Juliet yaa.. ^_^
Banyak nilai-nilai kebaikan dan kebenaran yang bisa kita ambil dari ceritanya. So enjoy it and be patient waiting for your prince charming to pick you up with a white horse.. *mywish ^^v

Blessings!!

Don't Worry!

If you pray about it, don't worry about it. If you're going to worry about it, don't pray about it.

That's a quote I got from Twitter yesterday. A simple quote but has a very powerful meaning. It has a very powerful message to those who read it, khususnya aku.

I've been praying for something lately, something very important for me and my family, and yet I keep find myself worry about it too. Sepertinya aku berharap Tuhan mengabulkan doaku dan melakukan sebuah mukjizat tapi disaat yg sama aku juga ga yakin Tuhan sanggup melakukan itu. I prayed and then I worried.

Oh well.. :((

Firman Tuhan bilang:

• Matius 6:25-34, "Janganlah kamu kuatir akan hidupmu...".
• 1 Petrus 5:7, "Serahkanlah kekuatiranmu kepadaNya, sebab Ia yg memelihara kamu."
• Filipi 4:6, "Janganlah kamu kuatir tentang apapun juga, tetapi nyatakanlah dalam segala hal keinginanmu kepada Elohim dalam doa dan permohonan dengan ucapan syukur."
• En masih banyak lagi..
  

Aku bertobat hari ini. For praying and worrying at the same time. Mendingan ga usah didoain skalian kalo gitu. @_@ Kayak orang yg ga punya iman aja. :(

So this morning I prayed and I trusted God, put my faith in Him and He will perform a miracle in my life. I'm not gonna worry anymore cos the LORD is in control of every single thing.

Blessings!!
