Jordan Rubin, in his excellent book The Maker’s Diet, writes this about exercise (p. 172): God created us to live, move, work, play, overcome obstacles, and win victories throughout life. He never intended for us to sit around and wait for death. Some confirmed couch potatoes have confidently justified their lackadaisical approach to life by […]
The Author of Health
I spent a bit of time reading in my Bible today. I was wondering about how God heals us… how He uses supernatural powers when He decides to, but He also sometimes chooses to heal us slowly, naturally, much as a tree heals itself from a cut in its bark. Knowing both sides of the […]
Music and Healing
What can you do when you’re feeling tired and yucky from poor health — and struggling to not fly off the handle in anger at others, to not break down in tears for an hour, or to not have a panic attack? What can you do when you know God’s Word tells you to be […]
Anxiety and Health (Audio)
Today I have a short audio for you on what the Bible says about anxiety, fear, and our health. It’s an excerpt from one of my health classes, where my friend Cathy and I talk candidly about how to overcome anxiety. https://anneshealthplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/worry_fear1.mp3 If you’ve got 5 minutes, I know this will really be helpful […]
Making Lasting Changes in Your Health
I watched a video this afternoon by Tony Robbins. I know he’s not a believer in Jesus (I can tell by his occasional bad language, for instance), but many of his thoughts were based in biblical principles. The purpose of his video was to examine the traits that successful people have in common. As he […]
Be Fruitful and Multiply – A Long Look at Birth Control
As early as 1855, researchers began to document changes that occur each month in a woman’s body. During the next 75 years, clues to a woman’s fertility began to open doors to understanding how hormones work in her body. Scientists discovered that hormone levels are much more stable and predictable than they originally thought. They […]
Light and Dark: How Light Affects Your Health and Hormones
As we take a glimpse of the dawn of time, when God made a beautiful and perfect world, we are amazed at the handiwork we see. I’m not a scientist, but the more I read and the more I discover about creation, the more amazed I become. In this article, we’re going to look at […]
How to React in Times of Illness
I must always start by learning everything I can about the disease. I must learn about what causes it and about the symptoms it produces. I must learn about any substances created by God (foods, herbs, spices, vitamins, etc.) that might assist my body in overcoming that disease. I must enlist help from others whom […]
The Bible on Health
By Anne Elliott Introduction “It is futile for Christians to expect health and healing while deliberately ignoring the laws which govern its coming.” – Charles Finney I strongly believe that as believers, we are privileged to come into the presence of our Heavenly Father and bring our petitions to Him (Hebrews 4:15-16). Of course, this […]
Do the Bible’s Dietary Laws Apply to Me?
If you search on my blog or health website, you won’t find much written by me about the Bible’s clean and unclean food laws. It isn’t because I don’t have an opinion; rather, it’s more because I just haven’t gotten around to tackling such a controversial topic. I really don’t like controversy! However, if you […]
The Psalm 104 Diet
A family member recently started experiencing an abnormal heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), so I decided to see if the Bible had anything to say about a proper diet for the heart. Scripture never disappoints! Psalm 104:14-15 was loaded with wise advice: “[YHVH] causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service […]
Rhythms
The digestion of food, the ability to get a good night’s sleep, and countless involuntary bodily processes – all are completely dependent upon the cyclical, daily release of hormones. This daily rhythm is called the circadian rhythm. Your circadian rhythm is your internal “clock” that regulates all the processes of your body over a 24-hour […]
