The Vegan Lifestyle

Junk foods are bad for our health. They are loaded with chemicals that are harmful to our body. They are mixed with food colors and preservatives too.

Almost all junk foods undergo a certain process. Most junk foods are deep-fried in hydrogenated vegetable oils. Vegetables oils that have undergone hydrogenation are harmful to the body. Hydrogenated vegetable oils are originally mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids that are artificially converted into a saturated fatty acid by the addition of hydrogen molecules to it. This process is called hydrogenation.

When hydrogenated vegetable oils are heated, they are converted into trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids are very harmful to the body, and can cause cancer. That is why it is not safe to re-use frying oils that have been used already.

Junk foods are palatable and delicious. They are mixed with flavorings or food  enhancers to make it taste good. That is why most children and even adults like them very much. The most famous food enhancer is the monosodium glutamate or MSG. This is a free glutamic acid produced from hydrolyzed amino acids from proteins by the use of strong acids as catalysts. This substance is sold in the market with various brand names, the most common of which is Ajinomoto or Vetsin. MSG is very harmful to our body. It causes brain cancer and a host of other diseases. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier and affects the normal functioning of the hypothalamus. This organ of the endocrine system is the controlling center of all neuroendocrine regulation, sleep, wake cycles, emotional control, caloric intake regulation, immune system regulation, and the regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Please read my previous article “Dangers Of MSG” to know more about this.

This is the reason why people become obese, and wonder why they become so fat when in fact they often skip their breakfast and other meals in a day. This blood-brain barrier disruption can also cause hypertension, diabetes, strokes, brain tumors, lupus, brain infections, Alzheimer’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Other additives in junk foods are food colors, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives. All these chemicals are toxins that poison our body. Do you not wonder why junk foods remain fresh and crispy even after months or year in the shelves? Consider what harm they can do to your body.

Are you living near chemical, industrial, and agricultural manufacturing plants? The air you breathe and the water you drink could be polluted with harmful environmental pollutants. Heavy metals such as mercury and lead and many more are emitted from factories and these could have been insidiously affecting your health.

The food we eat contain pesticides, additives, preservatives, and other toxic chemicals that are harmful to our body. This could be the reason why we are not feeling well most of the time. We need to detox our body now and get rid of these toxins from our body to have optimum health.

Far infrared sauna is good for detoxification. Most saunas use the heat energy of far infrared to warm up our body in order to perspire. During perspiration, our skin pores open up to flush out toxins  from the body. Environmental pollutants and other toxic chemicals  are excreted from the body through our skin pores during  perspiration

The heat energy from infrared radiation penetrate 1 to 1.5 inches below the  skin, and this dissolves the excess fats under the skin.This is especially good for people who want to slim down. Far infrared sauna effectively rids our body of awkward cellulite and other excess fats.

Another health benefit of infrared sauna is good blood circulation. The heat energy of infrared saunas has a vasodilation effect on the peripheral blood vessels that improves blood circulation very effectively. Far infrared sauna dissolves the cholesterol and excess fatty deposits inside the veins and arteries to improve blood circulation throughout the body. This can also prevent high blood pressure that can cause stroke and hear attack.

Far infrared saunas are also good for the heart. The vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate that provide a good workout for the heart.

Far infrared heat energy reduces muscle spasms, joint stiffness and body aches from rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and other body pains disappear.

And it is a powerful stress reliever too.  The heat energy of far infrared  sauna increases blood circulation and  this triggers the release of endorphins to loosen tight muscles to make you feel better.

Far infrared sauna has many health benefits. It is better than  sunbathing  in that you are not exposed to the harmful effcts of ultraviolet radiation. And you do it in the privacy of your home and at your most convenient time.

If you want to be trully healthy, you must exercise temperance in all things. It pays good dividends to exercise the will to resist temptations to overindulged in anything.

What is a vegan lifestyle?

A vegan lifestyle is, first and foremost, a life lived according to will of God. God created us all, and we only borrowed our lives from him. As owner of our lives, God deserves our respect and love.

What is the will of God?

In 3 John verse 2, it says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” God wills that we all be healthy. And how can we be healthy?

To be healthy, we need to follow a vegan lifestyle. In the beginning, God provided us our original diet consisting of fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables. God originally designed us as vegetarians. We were not created like the carnivorous animals that thrive on animal flesh.

After the Great Flood, when Earth’s vegetation was destroyed, men started to eat flesh meats. Diseases appeared on the surface of the Earth; afflictions and sufferings followed. Men became wicked, and iniquities abounded. Moral values degraded, and men gradually lost their spirituality.

In our modern time, millions are dying everyday because of diseases, accidents, and brutality that are being done under the sun. This is the curse of the law that God forewarned which will happen to men if they continue violating his law.

Is the law a curse? No! The law is holy and honorable. The law did not bring in the curse, but men’s transgression of the law has brought the curse upon them.

What shall we do to be spared of this curse of the law?
