(i) Pomgranate (I have two trees)

Pomegranate juice is sold in the supermarkets. Apparently it is good for men help with the prostrate.

It is interesting that many people don't realise that most of what we eat is mentioned in scripture. Perhaps if we begin to eat more of what is in the bible, our health might be better.

Looks like you have done your homework. It's funny you should say that at the end there. I read not long ago that honey and cinnamon (in varying proportions) could cure almost anything but the big pharmaceuticals don't want us to know it. I'm not saying it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Honey & cinnamon work for me :yes

Depending on the situation, I'll vary the amounts of both or singly.... when I'm feeling sluggish, I put a stick of cinnamon in my coffee or tea cup .... adds just the right flavour!

Horehound & honey combo makes for a great 1st sign of a cold or sinus congestion remedy.

The list is amazing, Abide .... but.... where is chocolate? :help

 

[joethemechanic]

Olive oil, bread, spices and cheese,,,,,

We have the makings of a white pizza.

Although I like spinach on mine.

 

[AirDancer]

Now that looks delicious!

Those are fine foods indeed, and they are all Kosher. Notice that things like salt and butter are deemed unhealthy by today's medical establishment and the likes of joggerholic healthoholics. This is why in the health forums I continually bash them. That's because this generation is too self-righteously "full of themselves" and think they know better than God what is healthy. Consequently, you see people sicker than ever that follow such idiotic advice of theirs.

Now why would you go and do that? It's bedtime and now I want some pizza.

Let's be careful with the health advice we give. Just because salt and butter are mentioned in the Bible doesn't mean that they are healthy in the quantities that are often found in modern, processed foods. And I know of no medical establishment that says not to eat them, just to consume them in moderation.

I'll leave it at that since that is not the topic of this thread.

Lol and another one is eggs. One minute they say eggs are bad, the next they are good. Well, if Jesus Christ says In Luke ch 11 v 11

11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13If ye then, being evil, know how to give Goodgifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Then that's good enough for me, eggs are good

I agree, Free. This is why I'm in the health forum a lot. Wish people would go over there more. IMO this thread actually belongs there. People are invited to read my posts over there and find sensible, sound, and healthy insights.

Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

I'm big on natural herbs for my health as I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and the Doctors wanted to prescribe me drugs for this, but I found that a mixture of cayenne pepper and garlic lowers my blood pressure and red yeast and rice lowers my cholesterol. I also take other herbs in tablet form for over all health and stamina and when you buy these herbs you have to make sure they are natural without any chemical additives. I get mine from Swansonvitimins.com and my Doctor is amazed how my blood pressure and cholesterol are improving.
